In My Mailbox (79)
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.

Fall From Grace (Mad World #1) by Christine
Zolendz
I'm finally home after struggling through my brother's illness and
death. But, home is definitely a bit different. My best friend (the only person
alive now that knows my secret) has a new boyfriend; and he has a friend. Shane
Maxton: bad boy, tattooed rock god, eye candy extraordinaire. He is also New
York City's most arrogant, self-serving, son of a, well, a definite one-night
stand kind of a guy.
But, it doesn't matter to me because I've spent my existence looking for the love of my life, my angel. And, there is nothing that Shane Maxton can do to change that.

Saving Grace (Mad World #2) by Christine
Zolendz
After spending over 2,000 years being a lost
soul looking for the angel I was forbidden to fall in love with, I finally
found him. Lucky for me he has taken up residence inside the hot body of NYC’s
local bad boy, tattooed rock star, Shane Maxton. Turns out, not only is he
absolutely perfect, so is the whole Grace Taylor life that I’m stuck in. The
only problem is Gabriel. An archangel who wants me all to himself so he kind of
kidnaps me. Now I have to find my way back and hope everything works out…

Kitty Steals the Show (Kitty Norville #10) by Carrie
Vaughn
Kitty
has been tapped as the keynote speaker for the First International Conference
on Paranatural Studies, taking place in London. The conference brings together
scientists, activists, protestors, and supernatural beings from all over the
world—and Kitty, Ben, and Cormac are right in the middle of it.
Master
vampires from dozens of cities have also gathered in London for a conference of
their own. With the help of the Master of London, Kitty gets more of a glimpse
into the Long Game—a power struggle among vampires that has been going on for
centuries—than she ever has before. In her search for answers, Kitty has the
help of some old allies, and meets some new ones, such as Caleb, the alpha
werewolf of the British Isles. The conference has also attracted some old
enemies, who’ve set their sights on her and her friends.
All
the world’s a stage, and Kitty’s just stepped into the spotlight.
Darkhouse (Experiment in Terror#1) by Karine 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.
The
Perfect Game by J. Sterling{ebook}
He's a game she never
intended to play.
And she's the game
changer he never knew he needed.
The Perfect Game tells the story of college
juniors, Cassie Andrews & Jack Carter. When Cassie meets rising baseball
hopeful Jack, she is determined to steer clear of him and his typical cocky
attitude. But Jack has other things on his mind... like getting Cassie to give
him the time of day.
Sometimes
life gets ugly before it gets beautiful...
Devoured (Devoured#1) by Emily Snow {ebook}
Sienna Jensen had no plans to return home when she graduated college
last spring—after all, her dreams lie in California. But when she discovers her
grandmother’s posh Nashville home has been foreclosed, and the new owner has
started the eviction process, Sienna has no other choice but go back to Music
City. And she comes face to face with the flawed, gorgeous man she never
thought she’d see again. The man who now holds the deed to her grandma’s estate.
When millionaire rock star Lucas Wolfe finds the outspoken redhead glaring at him from across a courtroom, he’s both infuriated and intrigued. He still can't get the night Sienna almost spent with him out of his mind, and the chemistry between them is as undeniable as it was two years ago. He craves Sienna more than ever. And just like everything Lucas hungers for, he’s determined to have her.
Now, Lucas will do whatever it takes to lure Sienna into his bed, even if that means making a deal with her: ten days with him, playing by his rules, and he’ll hand over the deed to her grandmother’s home. Though she agrees to the arrangement, Sienna is conflicted. Because of her duty to her family. Because of promises she’s made to herself and a past that still haunts her. And as Lucas’s game of seduction continues, and Sienna is introduced to his dark, erotic world and even darker background, she realizes that at any moment, she could be devoured.
