Flirt (Anita Blake #18)
Laurell K Hamilton
When Anita Blake
meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have
her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for
his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there
is to know about loss. But what she also knows is that the thing she can
do as a necromancer isn't the miracle he thinks he needs. The creature
that Anita could coerce to step out of the late Mrs. Bennington's grave
would not be the lovely Mrs. Bennington. Not really. And not for long.

| Ender
in Exile (Ender #1.5)
Orson Scott Card
At first, Ender believed that they would bring him back to Earth as soon
as things quieted down. But things were quiet now, had been quiet for
a year, and it was plain to him now that they would not bring him back
at all, that he was much more useful as a name and a story than he would
ever be as an inconveniently flesh-and-blood person.

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux wakes from a year-long coma to find that she
has become an angel - and that her lover, the archangel Raphael, likes having
her under his control. But almost immediately, Raphael must ready Elena
to attend a ball thrown by Lijuan. Ancient and without conscience, Lijuan's
power lies with the dead. And she has organized the most perfect and most
vicious of welcomes for Elena.... |
Muse
and Reverie
Charles de Lint
An all-new collection of short fiction in de Lint's "Newford"
universe -- the fifth such collection since 1993, and the first since 2002.
The city of Newford could be any city in North America, bursting with music,
commerce, art, love and hate, and of course magic. Magic in the sidewalk
cracks, myth at the foundations of its great buildings, enchantment in the
spaces between its people. |
The
Left Hand of God
Paul Hoffman
The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a vast and desolate place - a place without
joy or hope. Most of its occupants were taken there as boys and for years
have endured the brutal regime of the Lord Redeemers. In one of the Sanctuary's
vast and twisting maze of corridors stands a boy. He is so used to the cruelty
that he seems immune, but soon he will open the wrong door at the wrong
time and witness an act so terrible that he will have to leave this place,
or die. |
Monster
A Lee Martinez
Meet Monster. Meet Judy. Two humans who don't like each other much, but
together must fight dragons, fire-breathing felines, trolls, Inuit walrus
dogs, and a crazy cat lady - for the future of the universe. Monster runs
a pest control agency. He's overworked and has domestic troubles - like
having the girlfriend from hell. Judy works the night shift at the local
Food Plus Mart. But when Judy finds a Yeti in the freezer aisle eating all
the Rocky Road, her life collides with Monster's in a rather alarming fashion.
Oh, and his girlfriend from Hell? She actually is from Hell. |

throughout the stars, the Xenic Bureau of the Grand Ekumenical Security
Directorate investigates any hint of aliens, strange disappearances, or

Gentlemen
Prefer Succubi (Succubus Diaries #01)
Jill Myers
Jackie has a problem. First she slept with a hot guy she met in a bar after
too many martinis, then she woke up in a dumpster, where a mugger had left
her for dead. Except her one-night stand turned out to be an angel named
Noah, and her mugger turned out to be a vampire named Zane - and the combination
of angel-sex and vampire-bite has turned her into a succubus. She's suddenly
a bombshell with hoards of men panting after her, which is a very good thing
- because the downside is The Itch: she needs sex constantly. |
Live
Free or Die
John Ringo
When aliens trundled a gate to other worlds into the solar system, the
world reacted with awe, hope and fear. But the first aliens to come through,
the Glatun, were peaceful traders and the world breathed a sigh of relief.
When the Horvath came through, they announced their ownership by dropping
rocks on three cities and gutting them. Since then, they've held Terra
as their own personal fiefdom. With their control of the orbitals, there's
no way to win and earth's governments have accepted the status quo. To
free the world from the grip of the Horvath is going to take an unlikely
hero. A hero unwilling to back down to alien or human governments, unwilling
to live in slavery and enough hubris to think he can win.

Rave (Reviewed by Chrissi)
Earth
to Hell (Journey to Wudang #01)
Kylie Chan
When we left Emma in the
Dark Heaven trilogy, she had survived Simon Wong (aka 122) and lost Leo
and John (Xuan Wu) – but she had managed to save Simone, and escape
the Demon King with the eventual promise that John would return to her.
Now eight years in the future, Emma has had to step up to help manage the
Northern Heavens and run the Wudang school, whilst hiding her true nature
from her students and retainers.
This particular novel is based around getting Leo back after eight years.
We follow our characters through Heaven and Hell as they try and convince
Leo to accept immortality and rejoin them in the mortal plain. Plans go
awry when the Leo held in Celestial Hell is proven to be a fake, and a desperate
search ensues. It seems that after Simon Wong was destroyed, his closest
demon consorts continued their experiments – and it’s up to
Emma and Simone to stop them, with help from Michael, Bai Hu, Kwan Yin,
Jade and Gold along with a many more ‘new’ and old Shen (immortals).

Guilty
Pleasures (Anita Blake #01)
Laurell K Hamilton
In a world full of sparkly vampires and their lovelorn girlfriends, I can’t
help but wonder if the Twilight-inspired trend towards impossible romances
aimed at teenagers is just so unassailably saccharine that it will soon
self-destruct. What then of vampires? What is left of the former savage,
soulless entertainment which vampire-lovers fear to lose? In short, when
the Twi-hards depart for the next sparkly trend, what will capture the readers
who still want vampire-action – and who want vampires that aren’t
just a big bunch of sissies? (Sorry Edward, but you got nothin’ on
Jean Claude. Or any of the Black Dagger Brotherhood for that matter!).
I can recommend none other than the necromancer/federal marshal/occasional
nymphomaniac Anita Blake and her vivid, unapologetic adventures with man
or beast, dead or alive. I have one main reason for this: her writing style
has yet to be equaled in Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance.
