<\/p>\nLet\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Divine Misdemeanors<\/span><\/a> by Laurell K. Hamilton<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, Los Angeles private eye. To protect my unborn children, I have turned my back on the crown, choosing exile in the human world with my beloved Frost and Darkness. Yet I cannot abandon my people. Someone is killing the fey, which has left the LAPD baffled and my guardsmen and me deeply disturbed. I thought I\u2019d left the blood and politics behind in my own turbulent realm. But now I realize that evil knows no borders, and that nobody lives forever\u2014even if they\u2019re magical. <\/p>\n \n Tracato (Trial of Blood & Steel, Book III)<\/span><\/a> by Joel Shepherd<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n \nIn this third title in Joel Shepherd’s gripping quartet, we are reunited with the fearless heroine Sasha, Errollyn and the other familiar characters from SASHA and PETRODOR. The net is really closing in now, with the whole of Rhodia at war and the serrin – the beautiful and dangerous people from beyond the Bacosh – fighting for survival. The revolutionary politics of Tracato, and the clandestine attempts by the feudalists to hold onto power, are gripping and full of intrigue. The characters who were developing in the previous title blossom into their roles here, sharing the arena with Sasha, giving this novel an extra dimension that readers will love.<\/p>\n \n Wolf’s Cross<\/span><\/a> by S. A. Swann<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n S. A. Swann continues to reinvent the werewolf myth in this fantastic new novel set in the medieval world of the celebrated Wolfbreed. Like its predecessor, Wolf\u2019s Cross is unafraid to cross boundaries and break taboos to tell an unforgettable story of romance and adventure that will forever change how you think about werewolves.<\/p>\n Maria lives a simple life in a small Polish village, working for the lord of the nearby fortress. Motherless since birth, Maria has been raised by her father and stepmother. Around her neck she wears\u2014as she has always worn\u2014a silver crucifix, to protect her from the devil. Or so her father tells her.<\/p>\n But when a contingent of badly mauled Teutonic knights, including a handsome and gravely wounded young man named Josef, ask for succor at the fortress, Maria\u2019s quiet and comfortable world shatters. For the knights are Wolfj\u00e4gers, an order dedicated to the extermination of werewolves, and Maria, unknowingly, is one of the creatures they hunt. Only the crucifix about her neck prevents her body from changing into a lethal killing machine.<\/p>\n When Maria meets Darien, a wolfbreed bent on exacting a terrible revenge on humans, she will learn the truth about herself, and find her loyalties\u2014and her heart\u2014torn in two. <\/p>\n \n Frostbitten<\/span><\/a> by Kelley Armstrong<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n For Elena Michaels, being the world\u2019s only female werewolf has its advantages, such as having her pick of the Otherworld\u2019s most desirable males. And she couldn\u2019t have picked a more dangerously sexy and undyingly loyal mate than Clayton Danvers. But now their bond will be put to the ultimate test. A werewolf more wolf than human and more unnatural than supernatural\u2014a creature whose origins spring from ancient legend\u2014is hunting human prey, and Elena and Clayton must track the predator deep into Alaska\u2019s frozen wilderness.<\/p>\n But the personal stakes are even higher. Either Clayton or Elena has been chosen to become the new Pack leader, and every wolf knows that there can be only one Alpha. The couple have always been equals in everything. Now, when their survival depends more than ever on perfect teamwork, will instinct allow one of them to lead and the other to follow? <\/p>\n \nMore in Part II<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound.
