In My Mailbox (35)
In My Mailbox is something was
that started over at The Story Siren and I
think it’s pretty awesome. It’s a way to showcase the books that you gotten
through different places. Books you gotten in the mail, brought from a store,
borrowed from the library, received to write a review, or they can be
in eBook form. Here's a link to see how it all started.
This week I didn't as many books. I'm trying to cut back on buying books but its soooooooooo hard.

Blood Rites (Grey Wolves #2) by Quinn Loftis (kindle book)
With the challenge complete and the corrupt Alpha of
Coldspring defeated Fane is now free to complete the mate bond with Jacque and
perform the Blood Rites. Although the challenge is done, the affects are far
reaching. Once it is known that Vasile, one of the strongest Alphas in the
world is in America, specifically Coldspring, TX, there is one Alpha who cannot
over look the significance of this. An Alpha who happens to share Jacque's DNA,
but is this the one she needs to fear?
With her mom driving and her two best friends, Jen and Sally in tow, Jacque sets off for her happily ever after. She will soon realize a plan has been put in motion that will change her course and possibly tear her from Fane's grasp forever. It will take a wolf pack, her mother's love, her two best friend's unrelenting determination, her own will to survive and the undying love of her mate to bring her home. The question remains, if she fights, if she endures, who will she be, what will be left once she is back in her mates arms?

Playing For Keeps by Liz Matis (kindle book) {I don't like this cover at all}
In the violent country of Ludania, the classes are strictly
divided by the language they speak. The smallest transgression, like looking a
member of a higher class in the eye while they are speaking their native
tongue, results in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina has always
been able to understand the languages of all classes, and she's spent her life
trying to hide her secret. The only place she can really be free is the
drug-fueled underground clubs where people go to shake off the oppressive rules
of the world they live in. It's there that she meets a beautiful and mysterious
boy named Max who speaks a language she's never heard before . . . and her
secret is almost exposed.
Charlie is intensely attracted to Max, even though she can't be sure where his real loyalties lie. As the emergency drills give way to real crisis and the violence escalates, it becomes clear that Charlie is the key to something much bigger: her country's only chance for freedom from the terrible power of a deadly regime.

Alienation (C.H.A.O.S #2) by Jon Lewis
The
invasion was only the beginning . . .
After his parents were
killed in a car accident, Colt McAllister was drawn into a world he thought
only existed in comic books-one where mind control, jet packs, and flying
motorcycles don't even scratch the surface.
Along with his best friends
Oz and Danielle, Colt is now training at the secret Central Headquarters
Against the Occult and Supernatural academy. But strange accidents seem to
follow him. . . even with the security of the school grounds. What first seems
random soon turns deadly. But who is targeting Colt?
As the alien invasions
increase in frequency and force, C.H.A.O.S resources are taxed to the limit and
they're forced to utilize the new recruits. In the midst of battle, Colt will
discover some startling revelations . . . about himself, his friendship with
Oz, and why he has been chosen to defeat this alien attack against earth.
The Accidental Bride by Denise
Hunter
Two
high-school sweethearts, a wedding reenactment, and one absent-minded preacher.
Is it a recipe for disaster or a chance for a new beginning?
Shay Brandenberger is a
survivor. She's lived through a crazy childhood, a failed marriage, and single
parenthood-with her confidence intact.
But not for long. Because
when Shay participates in her town's Founder's Day wedding reenactment, she
finds herself face-to-face with the one man who takes her breath away and
leaves her weak in the knees: Travis McCoy.
Travis is back in town
after years way on the rodeo circuit. His one regret in life is breaking Shay's
heart when they were high-school sweethearts. He's determined to get it right
this time.
So when their Founder's Day
"marriage" is accidentally made official, Travis seizes the day. Can
Shay put aside her pride to let Travis help her, or will their accidental
marriage be dissolved before it can begin?

desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything
they've worked for—and their love—forever.

Nice books! Playing For Keeps looks interesting, although the cover looks a bit strange. I was imagining something completely different when I saw it. And the CHAOS series looks great. Happy reading!
