Kat Mandu is waiting on…

(YA) – This is the third book in the Snow Like Ashes series and it comes out September 20th. I can’t wait to get my fingers on it, however, I won’t even be able to really read it until December when my high fantasy read-along begins! Oh, the things I do to myself for books.

Title: Frost Like Night
Author: Sara Raasch
To Be Published:  September 20, 2016

Description: Angra is alive, his Decay is spreading—and no one is safe.

Meira will do anything to save her world. With Angra trying to break through her mental defenses, she desperately needs to learn to control her own magic—so when the leader of a mysterious Order from Paisly offers to teach her, she jumps at the chance. But the true solution to stopping the Decay lies in a labyrinth deep beneath the Season Kingdoms. To defeat Angra, Meira will have to enter the labyrinth, destroy the very magic she’s learning to control—and make the biggest sacrifice of all.

Mather will do anything to save his queen. He needs to rally the Children of the Thaw, find Meira—and finally tell her how he really feels. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and a major betrayal within their ranks, winning the war—and protecting Meira—slips farther and farther out of reach.

Ceridwen will do anything to save her people. Angra had her brother killed, stole her kingdom, and made her a prisoner. But when she’s freed by an unexpected ally who reveals a shocking truth behind Summer’s slave trade, Ceridwen must take action to save her true love and her kingdom, even if it costs her what little she has left.

As Angra unleashes the Decay on the world, Meira, Mather, and Ceridwen must bring the kingdoms of Primoria together…or lose everything.

Title: Legacy of the Demon
Series:  Kara Gillian #8
Author: Diana Rowland
To Be Published: October 4, 2016

Description: Sidelined demon summoner Kara Gillian has her hands full when dimensional rifts allow demons to cause widespread panic and destruction on Earth. These aren’t the human-tolerant summonables she’s known before, but demons from the far reaches of the demon realm.

Add three demonic lords with conflicting ambitions to the mix, and Kara has the perfect recipe for global disaster.

Invested Ivana is waiting on…

I’ve loved this series since it first started, particularly in audio format.  The contrast between the protagonist’s innocent voice and the horrible things happening in the world she inhabits is very interesting.  And the narrator is fantastic.  The last book introduced a new potential threat and I’m very curious to see how that will play out.  But, alas, I won’t find out until next March!

Title: Etched in Bone
Author:  Anne Bishop
Series: The Others #5
To Be Published: March 7, 2017

Description: After a human uprising was brutally put down by the Elders—a primitive and lethal form of the Others—the few cities left under human control are far-flung. And the people within them now know to fear the no-man’s-land beyond their borders—and the darkness…

As some communities struggle to rebuild, Lakeside Courtyard has emerged relatively unscathed, though Simon Wolfgard, its wolf shifter leader, and blood prophet Meg Corbyn must work with the human pack to maintain the fragile peace. But all their efforts are threatened when Lieutenant Montgomery’s shady brother arrives, looking for a free ride and easy pickings.

With the humans on guard against one of their own, tensions rise, drawing the attention of the Elders, who are curious about the effect such an insignificant predator can have on a pack. But Meg knows the dangers, for she has seen in the cards how it will all end—with her standing beside a grave .

Luna Lovebooks is waiting on…

I am eagerly awaiting the December release of A Pocket Full of Tinder, book 4 of the Noon Onyx series by Jill Archer. I recently read Dark Light of Day for review and fell in love with Archer! I am currently working on reading the second book Fiery Edge of Steel. I love the world and look forward to Noon growing and becoming more comfortable with herself and her powers throughout the series. Plus fierce demons and angelic spell casters are always a plus!

Title: A Pocket Full of Tinder
Author: Jill Archer
Series:  Noon Onyx series
To Be Published: December 2016

Description:  Maegester-in-Training Noon Onyx feels like she’s done it all – mastered fiery magic, become an adept fighter, learned the law, killed countless demons, and survived having her heart broken by both love and an arrow, but now she’ll face her greatest challenge yet…Far to the north lies an outpost famous for its unrest – Rockthorn Gorge. The town’s patron has specifically requested Noon’s help. Her assignment? Help the neophyte demon lord build his fiefdom and keep what’s his. The problem? Lord Aristos – Noon’s new employer – is her erstwhile lover, Ari Carmine, the aforementioned heart breaker. And the number one thing he wants is her.

When Rockthorn Gorge’s viaduct is destroyed by Displodo, an enigmatic bomber, killing a dozen settlers and wounding scores more, Noon sets off early to aid in the search and rescue. Ari is listed among the missing and the suspects are legion. But Noon’s search is just the beginning. Her journey forces Noon to confront not only those she loves, but also enemies hell-bent on destroying them.
