Here are some of the new books releasing this week!
Books for Teens/Young Adults
The Future King – Book 2 in the Emry Merlin series after The Other Merlin (which is still on my TBR shelves). Emry and Arthur are as close as ever, but the king has warned Emry away and Arthur has discovered his fiancée has a secret. It doesn’t take much to persuade the friends to make a trip to France so Emry can seek help for her erratic magic. (The cover design has changed dramatically since book 1. The paperback of The Other Merlin is now out and matches this – which will be hardcover – if that matters to you.)
Books for Adults
Ellie Is Cool Now (Trade Paperback) – While she works on a TV show about cool high school kids, Ellie was anything but. So when she goes home to her reunion in order to secure a promotion, it’s not exactly something she’s looking forward to. I *love* reunion stories, so this is definitely on my list for this week!
How I’ll Kill You (Hardcover) – A set of triplet serial killers is in new territory when the youngest actually falls for her mark and decides she wants to keep him rather than kill him. I am super picky when it comes to thrillers – they aren’t always a good fit for me. But the premise of this one is FASCINATING. I might have to give it a try!
The Only Game in Town (Trade Paperback) – When a town’s eccentric benefactor dies, he leaves behind a game of sorts. The winners inherit his fortune. And he’s already set up the teams of competitors, including his grandson and a local who has settled for life in her hometown. This sounds right up my alley!
The Raven Thief (Hardcover) – Book 2 in the Secret Staircase Mystery series after the fantastic Under Lock and Skeleton Key. A mock séance designed to playfully expel any trace of the homeowner’s ex is disrupted by the man’s dead body. The only suspects are the folks around the table – including Tempest and her grandfather. I can’t wait to read this sequel!!
Silver Sable Payback (Trade Paperback) – From the Marvel Heroines series. In order to get Dr. von Doom to stop terrorizing Symkaria, Silver Sable agrees to track down a device that will allow him to see the future.
Star Trek: Aliens (Graphic Novel) – Includes three stories: one about Kahless, one about Trill, and one where Quark goes home to Ferenginar.
The Enneagram and Your Marriage (Nonfiction) – A workbook for a 7-week study to strengthen your marriage based on the Enneagram.
