Description:
In the hospital ER where she works, Mary is used to chaos. But lately, every aspect of her life seems adrift. She’s feeling disconnected from herself. Voices appear in her head. And the vivid, disturbing dreams she’s had all her life are becoming more intense. Then she meets Michael. He’s handsome, enigmatic and knows more than he can say. In his company, she slowly remembers the truth about herself…
Thousands of years ago, there were eight of them. The one called the Deceiver came to destroy the world, and the other seven followed to stop him. Reincarnated over and over, they carry on—and Mary finds herself drawn into the battle once again. And the more she learns, the more she realizes that Michael will go to any lengths to destroy the Deceiver.
Then she remembers who killed her during her last life, nine hundred years ago…Michael.

In the eternal words of the groundskeeper from that 1990s Snickers commercial: “Great googly moogly!” Just when you think there’s a jam-packed release week…a week this this comes along to show you what the phrase really means. As before, the release list above is cut down considerably, but there are a number of very exiting releases still noted. Just a few: Stung, an intriguing YA involving dystopia, amnesia, and…bees?; Sweetest Dark a new series by the author of the popular Drakon books; Big Boy, just a single part of a series of five novellettes (all released simultaneously) whose romantic storylines all revolve around a fateful (and steamy!) train trip; and Vengeance Bound, described as The Goddess Test meets Dexter. Sign me up for that bag of weirdness!
. . .
If you’ll allow a measure of presumptuousness–what’s going on the TBR list and/or shopping cart this week? ^_^

I just started on Rising Darkness and am waitingfor my copy ofRise to arrive. Will probably indulge in one or two more ofthis list
I am still waiting for my new Thea Harrison book, and lots of others. Including the new Bertrice Small. After the donkey sex shock of the first book, I am very curious what she has made of this one.
Quite a few interesting books but so far I haven’t picked any up.
I’ve ordered several of these and expect to read more than that! Love Irresistibly, Let It Be Me, Sweet Madness and Darius are all high on my TBR list. Thanks for the post.
gosh dont these look fabulous? I love new releases posts as much as I dislike them, I love them because I discover awesome new goodies I dislike them cause they make my TBR list grow and make me realize how many wonderful series I am very much behind in.
I preorderd several, wishlisted several. . . but, holy guacamole, I had somehow forgotten that the new Jane Yellowrock book was coming out today! Starting that ASAP!
I think I must have contracted some kind of terminal brain illness. I found a heretofore undiscovered bookstore on the Peninsula this weekend – and I didn’t go in. I see books on this list I wanted to read….and I’m not even rushing out to buy, beg, borrow, or steal them.
SOMETHING IS WRONG.
Or, possibly, I need someone so amazing that it will demolish my reading rut.
O Draconismoi, I am going to take a huge risk of you hating this book I discovered over Easter, and read twice back to back. But I just hope you love it as much as I do, even as there are (so far) no dragons in it. Written in Red by Anne Bishop. It is amazing.
