In My Mailbox (85)
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.

Dizzy by Nyrae Dawn & Jolene Perry
Dylan
doesn’t do relationships. He and his older brother watched their dad go through
hell and back, so they made a pact years ago—no girl would come between the
Gibson boys. But his brother sells out. He's getting married anyway. To the
sister of a chick Dylan met at a party, who's probably the angriest girl he's
ever met. Unfortunately, she happens to be hot, too.
Ziah’s life is upside down—her safe boyfriend turns out to be not-so-safe, and now her sister is getting married before college is over to the older brother of a spoiled, party boy who drives her crazy. And also makes her heart beat too fast.
There’s no denying the attraction, but there's also no denying how much they irritate each other. When they’re thrown together as forced wedding planners, they find an ally in each other--neither wants this wedding to happen.

instead of putting a stop to the crazy nuptials they find themselves at
fittings and cake testing. And maybe even…a few dates?
Dizzy is a novel about what happens when two
people who are determined not to fall in love, maybe do anyway. Maybe.
Nightshifted (Edie Spence#1)
by
Cassie Alexander {ebook}
From debut author Cassie Alexander comes a
spectacular new urban fantasy series where working the nightshift can be a
real nightmare. Nothing compares to being Nightshifted.
Nursing school prepared Edie Spence for a lot of things. Burn victims? No problem. Severed limbs? Piece of cake. Vampires? No way in hell. But as the newest nurse on Y4, the secret ward hidden in the bowels of County Hospital, Edie has her hands full with every paranormal patient you can imagine—from vamps and were-things to zombies and beyond…
Edie’s just trying to learn the ropes so she can get through her latest shift unscathed. But when a vampire servant turns to dust under her watch, all hell breaks loose. Now she’s haunted by the man’s dying words—Save Anna—and before she knows it, she’s on a mission to rescue some poor girl from the undead. Which involves crashing a vampire den, falling for a zombie, and fighting for her soul. Grey’s Anatomy was never like this…

Phase by E.C.
Newman {ebook}
Sophie
Todd hoped that her senior year would be different. Unfortunately, different
seems to mean getting punched in the face for sticking up for the new girl,
having her offer of friendship spurned by said new girl, and finally gaining
the attention of her long-time crush, Ezra Varden, but for all the wrong
reasons.
It's a tenuous friendship at best, but as Juliet starts to open up to Sophie, they both realize that the Vardens, Juliet's foster family, is not your average family. They're extremely close-knit—freakishly so—but they welcomed a complete stranger into their home, which just so happens to have the largest meat freezer anyone's ever seen...
...and certainly no one said anything about Ezra and the wolves.

Crushed
Seraphim (Seraphim #1) by Debra Anatasia {ebook}
How does a foul-mouthed angel end up as the
last hope for all of Heaven and Earth?
When Seraph Emma is maimed and tossed from Heaven by a rogue angel who's taken charge, she fears she'll never be allowed to return. Tasked with the impossible job of showing the self-loathing (and not even human!) Jason his worth, Emma is sure she's doomed to fail.
Meanwhile, having wormed his way into Heaven, the corrupt Everett has trapped God in Hell and has designs on unleashing evil everywhere. Fortunately, if there's one thing Emma can't do (in addition to minding her language), it's give up. Determined to save Jason and get back to Heaven-even if it means going to Hell-Emma's plan is simple yet impossible: trick the Devil to save God.

What
she doesn't count on is the devotion and, well, humanity she finds in Jason;
the spirit, hidden compassion, and raw sex appeal within the Devil; and the
vulnerability of her own heart. With the help of two unlikely allies, she'll
wage the battle for Heaven. But will Emma be sidetracked by a new sort of
heaven along the way?
What's truly more dangerous?
What's truly more dangerous?
Falling from Heaven, or falling in love?

Seraphim (Seraphim #2) by Debra Anatasia {ebook}
As Devil, Jack used to have Hell and its women humming like well-oiled machines. Too bad he’s nowhere near the place now. Stuck on Earth as a human, he must work with a ragtag team of exiled minions and half-breeds to save the angel who’s become all that matters.
Rescuing a seraph is the plan, but breaking into Hell means letting evil things out. Once they collide, minions and angels converge in the battle of the ages: good versus evil. But which side is which? Will Jack destroy the world as he fights to save Emma, his true and timeless love, from a damnation he designed?
An action-packed sequel to Crushed Seraphim, this tale reveals—time and again—what happens when the heart’s deepest desires break free. With a story both sizzling and sensual, emotional and enigmatic, Debra Anastasia invites readers to join a battle with nothing less than love on the line.

Something
More (#1) by Mia Castie {ebook}
All
she wanted was a fresh start. Moving to Chicago for college, escaping her small
town, Nyla finally felt she had it all. Then Jameson is suddenly everywhere,
invading her life, school schedule, and dating her supervisor at the posh art
gallery where she works. How can she survive her fresh start, when her high
school bully is everywhere.
The only thing that scared him about going to college was the crushing fear that he wouldn’t see Nyla anymore. So after graduation, Jameson applied to Roosevelt College, her school, to try to make sense of why he felt that way. Hoping it would only take a semester to understand his strange attraction and why he tormented her during high school, instead he realized that there was something more about Nyla, and something more to the way he felt. Now he must prove to her that she feels the same way about him.

I really love the cover for Phase. It's really pretty, but also really interesting to look at. The synopsis makes it sounds fairly interesting too. I may have to add this to my TBR.
