In My Mailbox (64)
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.

Born of Silence (The League
#5) by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Death Stalks Them All...
Kere is the second most infamous member of the
shadow organization known as Sentella. An explosive engineer who strikes terror
into the hearts of the League, the bounty on his head is truly staggering. No
one knows his true identity. The daughter of a traitor, Zarya Starska grew up hard on the back streets of hell- her family hunted to the brink of extinction. But Zarya dreams of a different life and a different world. A world where the harsh hand of the Caronese emperor doesn’t destroy his subjects. As a Resistance leader, her goal is to topple the government that needlessly ruined the lives of her family and comrades-in-arms. In this deadly quest, the only person she can trust is a mysterious man known only as Kere.
By The Light Of Day...
Kere has a dark secret and a brutal past. As he
aids the Resistance, he’s actually working to bring down his own family- the
Cruels- so named for the viciousness in their blood that runs so deep, no other
name would do. Born and bred from one of the oldest and noblest families in the
United Systems, Kere’s real name is Darling Cruel. And the one thing he wants
most is to see his uncle, who stole the crown by murdering his father, pay for
his crimes.
If You Tell A Lie Long Enough, It Becomes The
Truth...
In order to protect his mother from execution,
Darling’s entire life has been built on a lie that he dare not breathe a
contrary word about. His hands tied by his uncle’s cruelty. No one has ever
seen the real him. No one except Zarya. She’s the only person he’s ever fully
trusted with the truth. But when she betrays him by allowing a weapon he
designed solely for her to be used against him, all bets are off.
The Hero Is Now The Monster...
Betrayed
to the deepest level, Darling becomes an enemy even worse than his uncle. His
goal is not only to reign, but to kill every Resistance member he can find. He
won’t rest until all of them are dead and that includes Zarya.
The Twisted Hand Of Fate...
Zarya is
the only hope to reach the heart of the man her people once considered their
ally. A man who hates her with a fury so great that she knows it’s just a
matter of time before he kills her. But if she can find the part of him that
once trusted her, the part of him that once loved her, she might be able to
save not only her own life, but those of her people. It’s an impossible mission.
Too
bad she doesn’t play the odds.
From What I Remember... by Stacey
Kramer & Valerie Thomas
KYLIE: Tijuana WHAT? I should be putting the finishing touches on my
valedictorian speech. Graduation is TODAY, and is this a wedding band on my
finger.
MAX: It all started with Kylie's laptop and a truck full of stolen electronics. Okay, it was kind of hot, the way she broke us out like some chick in an action movie. But now we're stranded in Tijuana. With less than twenty-four hours before graduation. Awesome.
WILL: Saving Kylie Flores from herself is kind of a full-time occupation. Luckily, I, Will Bixby, was born for the job. And when I found out she was stuck in Mexico with dreamy Max Langston, sure, I agreed to bring their passports across the border -- but there's no reason to rush back home right away. This party is just getting started.
LILY: I just walked in on my boyfriend, Max Langston, canoodling with Kylie Flores, freak of the century. Still, I can't completely hold it against him. He NEEDS me. It's even clearer now. And I'm not giving him up without a fight.

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana
Peterfreund
It's
been several generations since a genetic experiment gone wrong caused the
Reduction, decimating humanity and giving rise to a Luddite nobility who
outlawed most technology.
Elliot North has always known her place in this world. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family's estate over love. Since then the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress, and Elliot's estate is foundering, forcing her to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth--an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliot wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she let him go.
But Elliot soon discovers her old friend carries a secret--one that could change their society . . . or bring it to its knees. And again, she's faced with a choice: cling to what she's been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she's ever loved, even if she's lost him forever.

Darkhouse (Experiment in Terror #1) by Karina Halle
With
all the vampire, werewolf and faerie books out there, it's easy to become numb
to all things supernatural. The antidote? Darkhouse introduces two real and
unforgettable characters, Perry Palomino & Dex Foray, amateur ghost hunters
who are "attractive, relatable and oddly heroic," "flawed but
loveable," "slightly crazy" and just the most endearing pair to
ever tackle the paranormal...just don't call them normal. Darkhouse is a
thrilling and sexy new take on concepts like Supernatural and The X-Files,
bringing a breath of fresh air to a genre that has been inundated with the
dead.

Running Wide Open
by Lisa Nowak
Cody Everett has a temper as hot as the flashpoint of racing fuel, and
it's landed him at his uncle's trailer, a last-chance home before military
school. But how can he take the guy seriously when he calls himself Race, eats
Twinkies for breakfast, and pals around with rednecks who drive in circles
every Saturday night? What Cody doesn't expect is for the arrangement to work.
Or for Race to become the friend and mentor he's been looking for all his life.
But
just as Cody begins to settle in and get a handle on his supercharged temper, a
crisis sends his life spinning out of control. Everything he's come to care
about is threatened, and he has to choose between falling back on his old,
familiar anger or stepping up to prove his loyalty to the only person he's ever
dared to trust.

Seventeen year-old Cordell Griffin and his mother move from Los Angeles to the

new life. Cor has one goal: To blend in and be invisible. Unfortunately for
him, no matter how far he goes, he can't run away from his secrets. Secrets
about who he is. Secrets about why he's sick. And secrets about why so many
people he meets end up dead, drained of blood.
