Succubus Revealed (Georgina Kincaid Book 6) by Richelle Mead
In
Georgina Kincaid, succubus and she-demon, #1 New York Timesbestselling author Richelle Mead has created
one of her most enticing characters. But with a shot at love, and maybe even
redemption, is the ultimate seductress finally going soft? Like hell she is. .
.
Georgina
Kincaid has had an eternity to figure out the opposite sex, but sometimes they
still surprise her. Take Seth Mortensen. The man has risked his soul to become
Georgina's boyfriend. Still, with Lucifer for a boss, Georgina can't just hang
up her killer heels and settle down to domestic bliss. In fact, she's being
forced to transfer operations. . .to Las Vegas.
The City
of Sin is a dream gig for a succubus, but Georgina's allies are suspicious. Why
are the powers-that-be so eager to get her away from Seattle—and from Seth?
Georgina is one of Hell's most valuable assets, but if there's any way out of
the succubus business she plans to take it—no matter how much roadkill she
leaves behind. She just hopes the casualties won't include the one man she's
risking everything for. . .
The Dragon Who Loved Me (Dragon Kin Book
5) by G.A. Aiken
I was
raised for battle. And as the first daughter of a warrior family, I've earned
my reputation the hard way. Yet now I fight alongside uncivilized male
Northland dragons who think a female is only good for breeding and waiting back
home in the cave. But it's the foolish and foolhardy who would try to stop me,
Rhona the Fearless, from doing what I do best—destroying the enemies of my
kind.
So the
smartest thing wily barbarian Vigholf the Abhorrent can do for me is stay out
of my way as we risk all on a deadly mission in enemy territory. I don't care
if he's fascinated by me, even though he is as attractive as he is resourceful.
He's having far too much fun putting me in difficult situations and testing my
sense of duty to the limit. And I'm going to enjoy challenging his insufferable
confidence, outwitting his schemes, and making him surrender in the wildest
ways. . .
The Power of Six (Lorien
Legacies #2) by Pittacus
Lore
I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in
Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to
me . . . he's one of us.
Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us—if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another . . . but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio—and failed.
I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.
And I'm ready to fight.

Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell #1) by Jenn Bennett (pdf)
Meet
Arcadia Bell: bartender, renegade magician, fugitive from the law. . . .
Being the spawn of two infamous occultists (and alleged murderers) isn’t easy, but freewheeling magician Arcadia “Cady” Bell knows how to make the best of a crummy situation. After hiding out for seven years, she’s carved an incognito niche for herself slinging drinks at the demon-friendly Tambuku Tiki Lounge.
But she receives an ultimatum when unexpected surveillance footage of her notorious parents surfaces: either prove their innocence or surrender herself. Unfortunately, the only witness to the crimes was an elusive Æthyric demon, and Cady has no idea how to find it. She teams up with Lon Butler, an enigmatic demonologist with a special talent for sexual spells and an arcane library of priceless stolen grimoires. Their research soon escalates into a storm of conflict involving missing police evidence, the decadent Hellfire Club, a ruthless bounty hunter, and a powerful occult society that operates way outside the law. If Cady can’t clear her family name soon, she’ll be forced to sacrifice her own life . . . and no amount of running will save her this time.

Bad Blood (Latter-Day Olympians #1) by Lucienne Diver (pdf)
The gods play…and mortals pay.
Tori
Karacis’s family line may trace back to a drunken liaison between the god Pan
and one of the immortal gorgons. Or…maybe it’s just coincidence that her glance
can, literally, stop men in their tracks. While her fear of heights kept her
out of the family aerobatic troupe, her extreme nosiness fits right in with her
uncle’s P.I. business.
Except
he’s disappeared on an Odyssean journey to find himself. Muddling through on
her own, she’s reduced to hunting (not stalking, because that would just be
weird) brass-bra’d Hollywood agent Circe Holland to deliver a message…only to
witness her murder by what looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Suddenly,
all of her family’s tall tales seem believable, especially when Apollo—the
Apollo, who’s now hiding out among humans as an adult film star—appears in her
office, looking to hire her. She knows the drill: canoodling with gods never
works out well for humans, but she’s irresistibly drawn to him. Maybe it’s her
genes. Maybe not.
Given her
conflicted feelings for one hot and hardened cop, it’s a toss-up which will
kill her quickest. The danger at her door…or her love life.
Warning:
Contains pot-boiling passion between a heroine who may—or may not—be a
descendant of Medusa, and a hot god and a hunky cop with the…equipment…to
handle her, even on her worst bad-hair day. Beware of killer kisses, trickster
gods and bearded grandmothers Who Know Everything.

Chain Reaction (Perfect Chemistry #3) by Simone Elkeles
Luis Fuentes has always been sheltered from the gang violence that
nearly destroyed his brothers’ lives. But that didn’t stop him from taking
risks—whether he’s scaling a mountain in the Rockies or dreaming of a future as
an astronaut, Luis can’t stop looking for the next thrill.
Nikki Cruz lives her life by three rules—boys lie to get their way, don’t trust a boy who says “I love you,” and never date a boy from the south side of Fairfield. Her parents may be from Mexico, but as a doctor’s daughter, she has more in common with her north-side neighbors than the Latino Blood at her school. Then she meets Luis at Alex’s wedding, and suddenly, she’s tempted to break all her rules.
Getting Nikki to take a chance on a southsider is Luis’s biggest challenge, until he finds himself targeted by Chuy Soto, the new head of the Latino Blood. When Chuy reveals a disturbing secret about Luis’s family, the youngest Fuentes finds himself questioning everything he’s ever believed to be true. Will his feelings for Nikki be enough to stop Luis from entering a dark and violent world and permanently living on the edge?

Sullivan. Not only does she desire his rock-hard body, she can't bear the
thought of him dying. But she’s not supposed to become emotionally involved in
a death. Kane's sudden run of near-fatal accidents always happen when Enya is
present. She might be hot, but he's not willing to die to get to know her. Then
he discovers she’s fighting for his soul. That damned immortal temptress might
be the death of him.

ReplyDeleteI love Simone Elkeles, she's officially my favorite author! I just finished Rules of Attraction and can't wait to read Chain Reactions(:
Even though I don't want it to end:/
