You know, I hadn't realized how many books I had pre-ordered that had a July 26 publication date until the packages started arriving this week. This was a very big mailbox full of physical books and ebooks that will keep my busy reading for quite a while. Here is what I got:
Dark of the Moon by Tracy Barrett was my Amazon Vine choice this month. I thought a retelling of a Greek myth would be an interesting change of pace for me.
Spell Bound by Kelley Armstrong is the finished copy of a book I read for review a while ago. I had to have it for my Women of the Otherworld collection.
I completed my collection of the Mindhunters series by Kylie Brant when these two books arrived this week.
Waking the Dead by Kylie is the third book in the series and Deadly Intent is the fourth.
I was surprised but pleased to read on someone's blog that Felix Francis was continuing the tradition begun by his father Dick Francis and writing a new mystery. I am a huge Dick Francis fan and had to get Dick Francis's Gamble.
Since I loved Hard Spell, I had to get Sympathy for the Devil by Justin Gustainis. I love his urban fantasy and look forward to reading this series.
I have read quite a few of The Hollows books by Kim Harrison and was interested to see what Blood Work was like because it is an original Hollows story done as a graphic novel.
Ghost Story by Jim Butcher is the 13th in the Dresden Files series. This was a bit of a departure because Dresden is dead and is a ghost in this one. There is less physical action but more introspection in this fascinating story.
I didn't neglect my Kindle this week.
I added this series by Jennifer Estep -- Karma Girl, Hot Mama, and Jinx. I thought the blurbs sounded entertaining.
Ilona Andrews recommended Silk is for Seduction by Loretta Chase as a funny and entertaining historical romance. I thought I would add it to my Kindle too.
Happily Never After by Jeaniene Frost is a novella that was originally published in an anthology that I do not own. I like Frost's work and wanted this story too.
That is what I got in my mailbox. What did you get in yours?
