Looking Forward to... (9)

So many amazing books already on the shelves and new ones coming out. For books yet to be released I am looking to get you can also look at the list of Desired Reads on the Right Sidebar - just scroll down. Of course there are tons other new books to come out that are amazing as well, but these ones are part of series I have started or for on reason or another caught my eye (and haven't seen much on other blogs yet). But I will highlight one here each week.

The next book is...
 

City of Ghosts

By Stacia Kane

Due out July 27, 2010

 
This is the third book of the series for Stacia Kane.  It is really great that she was able to have these three books released so close together.  I read and loved the first book, Unholy Ghosts - I devoured it in 2 days (that is really quick for me).  If you would like to read my review of Unholy Ghosts click here.  The Second book is due out July 6, 2010 - Unholy Magic.  And then this one before the end of July.  I really love the gritty world Chess lives in and can't wait to read the next two books.
 

Synopsis from Goodreads:
IT’S A THIN LINE BETWEEN ALIVE AND UNDEAD.


Chess Putnam has a lot on her plate. Mangled human corpses have started to show up on the streets of Downside, and Chess’s bosses at the Church of Real Truth have ordered her to team up with the ultra-powerful Black Squad agency to crack the grisly case.

Chess is under a binding spell that threatens death if she talks about the investigation, but the city’s most notorious crime boss—and Chess’s drug dealer—gets wind of her new assignment and insists on being kept informed. If that isn’t bad enough, a sinister street vendor appears to have information Chess needs. Only he’s not telling what he knows, or what it all has to do with the vast underground City of Eternity.

Now Chess will have to navigate killer wraiths, First Elders, and a lot of seriously nasty magic—all while coping with some not-so-small issues of her own. And the only man Chess can trust to help her through it all has every reason to want her dead.
