Looking Forward To...(119)


There are so many amazing books already on the shelves and new ones coming out.

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

(mentioned in order of Release Date then Alphabetical if there are more than one book coming out on the same date.)

It's been a while since I've done one of these Friday Looking Forward posts.  And I miss doing them.

Next Book Is...


Bronze Gods
Apparatus Infernum #1
By:  A.A. Aguirre
Due Out:  April 29, 2013

I've loved Ann Aguirre's works, and I look forward to reading this one she does with her husband.  And it's set in a steampunk world, which I have been loving as of late.  This one is already out, but I still had to mention it!  As I want it!

Goodreads Synopsis:
Hy Breasil is grimmer than it used to be.

Before the Architect closed the door, there were regular crossings, and a great war decimated both humans and Ferishers. The native fae who refused to treat with the invaders faded; their bodies withered and died, stranding them as hungry, angry spirits that haunt the countryside.

That means there’s always trouble brewing in Dorstaad.

Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko work for the Criminal Investigation Department, keeping citizens safe from things that go bump in the night. He’s a hardboiled cynic with an uncanny sixth sense; she’s determined to justify her promotion as the first female detective in her division. Together, they’re trying to keep a black tide from drowning the city.

But when the second body surfaces, murdered with the same type of infernal device, the entire CID must face the truth. There’s a madman on the loose, twining magic and blood… and only Mikani and Ritsuko can unravel the intricate, lethal conspiracy before the Royale killer completes his macabre plan, unleashing old, forbidden magic on an unsuspecting populace. If the maniac succeeds, it could mean the end of everything…

Cover and Description Release!

And another amazing find this week...when I'm suppose to be doing NaNoWriMo... Excuses, excuses...

Did you know Ann Aguirre is working on Steampunk?  Yeah, she's at it again, teaming up for this one.  And I think it's one I need.

Also, Ann Aguirre has a FREE EXCERPT of the Prologue and Chapter 1 available for us to read.

Bronze Gods
An Apparatus Infernem Novel # 1
By:  A.A. Aguirre
Due Out:  April 30, 2013


Synopsis:

Danger stalks the city of steam and shadows.

Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko work all hours in the Criminal Investigation Division, keeping citizens safe. He’s a charming rogue with an uncanny sixth sense; she’s all logic—and the first female inspector. Between his instincts and her brains, they collar more criminals than any other partnership in the CID.

Then they’re assigned a potentially volatile case where one misstep could end their careers. At first, the search for a missing heiress seems straightforward, but when the girl is found murdered—her body charred to cinders—Mikani and Ritsuko’s modus operandi will be challenged as never before. Before long, it’s clear the bogeyman has stepped out of nightmares to stalk gaslit streets, and it’s up to them to hunt him down. There’s a madman on the loose, weaving blood and magic in an intricate, lethal ritual that could mean the end of everything…


So?!?! What do you think?  I'm a huge fan of steampunk AND Ann Aguirre, so can't wait for this one!

Want to read more?  Ann has a free excerpt available, the Prologue and Chapter 1.
