A Short List

We’ve gotten a fair few deliveries recently…

Here’s some of them!

Shadow Queen
This is the latest book set in the Black Jewels world. It doesn’t have the pure brilliance of the original trilogy, but fans of the Black Jewels will find this to be book to be devoured!

From Dead to Worse - Sookie Stackhouse!
The next book in this well-deserving-of-multiple-reads series!
If you did ever want the full box set of most (it doesn’t have the most recent one or two) of the series, make sure you let us know because we can get that for you too!

The Hidden City
Yes, I’ve already mentioned this. But it is well worth mentioning again because it is a really really really good fantasy novel that I will happily recommend to all.
It is *not* a fast paced book. But let’s face it, a lot of the time, the more recent “fast-paced” books have been pretty shitty because “fast paced” is all that they have going for it. ;)
*THIS* book, regardless of what you might think about the pacing, is good.

Outcast: Fate of the Jedi #1
This is the first book in the new Star Wars novel series: Fate of the Jedi.
It chronicles the events after Jacen had died (whoops spoiler alert), and the mis-trust that the Republic begins to feel for the Jedi…
(Yes, I can see some of you thinking: again!?)

Undead on Arrival This is L.A. Banks’ latest book in her Crimson Moon series.

Ruby Dice by Catherine Asaro

When the Tide Rises by David Drake

Storm from the Shadows by David Weber
The latest book by Weber (and one of 3 to be released this year if the rumours are to be believed), this is the next book in the Saganami Isles series!

Kitty Galore

Have you guys met Kitty?

She’s a radio DJ who has accidentally, “kinda”, revealed to all of the listeners of her midnight program that there is an entire community of werewolves (and other creatures that go bump in the night) living amongst them.

Kitty & the Midnight Hour is the first of this great series. For any fans of Kim Harrison or Charlaine Harris, this series by Carrie Vaughn is well worth picking up!

In case you’ve already been reading this series, then you’d be pleased to know that we’ve got the latest two books on hand at the moment!
Kitty & the Dead Man’s Hand, which takes place in sunny Las Vegas (not that much of the action take place in the day time at all…), and Kitty Raises Hell which attempts to prove (successfully, I might add) that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas!

Well worth reading!
