For Review:
Goodreads Synopsis:
Inventor Henrietta Mason is retiring from airships and adventuring to return home to Philadelphia. Determined to erase all trails leading to her late father's duplicity, she dismantles his lab and removes all records of the Badlands gold. While in the city, she can't resist the lure of a charity gala but winds up regretting the whole experience. Well, everything except a heart-racing dance with a certain U.S. Marshal.
His career and vengeance on the line, Carson Alexander must prove a connection between Senator Mason and the mafia. He lucked out happening across Mason's strikingly beautiful daughter, only to have her slip through his fingers. On a desperate hunt to track her down, he never expects his search to take him into the brutal Badlands.
With a mechanically enhanced enforcer after them, only Carson knows the extent of the danger they face. He'll have to win over Henrietta's trust, and her heart, before it's too late...
Sequel to Badlands.

Amazon Synopsis:
This short story is set in the world of the Deacons of the Order, before the time of the novels, Geist, Spectyr, Wrayth and Harbinger.
It tells the story of the first day of the Break, when the undead come in the world of Arkaym, and the horror they bring with them. One small village is caught in the chaos of that day. Some will live, and some will find new purpose.
Gifted:
(I wanted to look things up for teasers and such, and since listening Starla offered me the book when I asked for a teaser! Sweet!)
Goodreads Synopsis:
Everyone Dreams. But what would you do if you suddenly found out that you were one of the few who creates dreams for the whole world? Would you use your power to harness the light and weave it into beautiful tapestries of magic and wonder, or would you fall prey to the seductive siren song of darkness and nightmares? For artist Aura Mayville, this becomes a reality as she is ripped from her life.
Freebies:
(You can find most of the links to get these on Friday's Freebies and Deals post)
Goodreads Synopsis:
What's a girl to do when meeting The One means she's cursed to die a horrible death?
Life hasn't been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Connor, so a new start in New York may be just the change she needs. But the posh Upper East Side prep school she has to attend? Not so much. Friendly faces are few and far between, except for one that she's irresistibly drawn to—Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight.
But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can't stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma's been having the oddest dreams: visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.
Goodreads Synopsis:
An anthology of the strange, bizarre, and just plain weird. Zombies, vampires, ghosts, and …crickets? Try a taste of writing from two very different fantasy authors. Flash stories are super short and perfect for when you ‘just have a minute’. This anthology contains 15 stories from authors Sean Hayden and Jen Wylie. Run the rampart of emotions in this exciting mix of tales. From humor to twisted, there is something for everyone. Contains adult language!
Goodreads Synopsis:
A Handsome Devil1762. James Sherbourne, Earl of Whitney, is a gambling man. Not for the money. But for the thrill, the danger--and the company: Whit has become one of the infamous Hellraisers, losing himself in the chase for adventure and pleasure with his four closest friends.
Which was how Whit found himself in a gypsy encampment, betting against a lovely Romani girl. Zora Grey's smoky voice and sharp tongue entrance Whit nearly as much as her clever hands--watching them handle cards inspires thoughts of another kind...
Zora can't explain her attraction to the careless blue-eyed Whit. She also can't stop him and his Hellraisers from a fiendish curse: the power to grant their own hearts' desires, to chase their pleasures from the merely debauched to the truly diabolical. And if Zora can't save Whit, she still has to escape him. . .

DeleteNice haul. Spellbound was really good, and I am trying to get my library to carry Spellcaster. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Thank you Jenea Whittington. I've heard good things about Spellbound and have wanted it for a while now. :) I look forward to getting to it one day. And great to hear you enjoyed it! :) Have a great week.
DeleteOh, I wish everyday was Saturday! The week would be so much less stressful then! :-)
ReplyDeleteMel, at least a week a month could be a week of Saturdays. ;D Thank you!
DeleteYay, you've got Clockwork Mafia too, Melissa! ;)) Awesome haul, and I love your freebies!
ReplyDeleteKara, I really can't wait to get to Clockwork Mafia!! :D And thank you!
DeleteWow you got some hot covers..i am now curious and cannot wait to read your thoughts on them. Heck yes, I need 3 Saturdays back to back! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeletehaha, Thank you Kimba! And so would be nice to have several Saturdays back to back. ;D
DeleteNice haul. I've heard mixed things about Spellbound, but it was free so I had to know. LOL
ReplyDeleteMelissa (B&T), I've wanted Spellbound, and was so excited when I saw it free. :D Thank you!
DeleteIf only it was Saturday again, sighs. But 4 day weekend coming up soon :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome update and look at that haul! Happy Reading! My Sunday Edition @ Paulette’s Papers
ReplyDelete(New GFC Follower!)
Hi Dani Chapman! Great to meet you and thank you for stopping by. Hope you chat and visit often. :) Thank you and I'll stop by shortly.
DeleteI would love more Saturdays. Sundays I always sit and brood about work the next day! Looks like you have a great haul there, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteTanya! So glad we are all on agreement on the more Saturdays. We need to take that to the powers to be. ;) Thank you for stopping! Hope you have a great week.
DeleteI could definitely use more Saturdays. :D
ReplyDeleteI missed a lot last week, where was I? I have Badlands but never finished reading it, oops.
I hope this week treats you well.
Bea, yep, we are all agreed. We need to make more Saturdays in a week. ;) And sorry to hear you didn't finish Badlands. I really enjoyed that one. Hope you have a great week as well.
DeleteYou've got a lot of interesting books there! I wish I knew how you manage to read *and* review so many. It seems to me that the more I blog, the less time I have to actually read. Enjoy all your new books, and thank you for stopping by The Bookwyrm’s Hoard earlier!
ReplyDeleteLark @ The Bookwyrm, yes, I'm sad to say most of the books I get free or purchase, I don't get to. I work to get through review books, but that stack has piled up on me here lately. I have an addiction to keep buying though. lol. I have a very hard time keeping up and have to divide my time so I don't get lost on the computer or not make it to the computer. :) Thank you for stopping!
DeleteI know what you mean; I've got a (virtual) stack of review books to get through, myself. I can steel myself not to buy new hardcovers, but it's hard to hold back on freebies, used books, and on-sale ebooks, especially when they are books I've been meaning or wanting to read, or authors I love. Which is, of course, why I have almost an entire bookshelf (not a shelf, the whole unit, almost 6 feet tall) full of books I haven't read yet... and that's not counting the ones in my ereader. *sigh*
DeleteSpell bound sounds good. Hope you enjoy
ReplyDeleteBrandi @ Blkosiner’s Book Blog
