Recent Release: Summer's List by Anita Higman

Most of the time when a new and exciting book has been released I share one - or a lot of - recent releases posts. Of course, this goes straight to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em.




Series: stand-alone
Genre: Romance, Women's Fiction
Publisher: River North
Publication Date: June 1st 2015
Length: 288 pages

Synopsis:

A dying wish alters the course of a young woman's life. 

Life hadn't been easy for Summer Snow. In acts of selflessness-caring for her ailing parents and running her grandmother's bookstore-she had forfeited her youth and dreams for the needs of others. And the only tries she had at love... didn't turn out. She had the bookstore, she had her beloved granny, but she was missing something-or someone.

Opportunity strikes when Granny sends Summer on an unexpected adventure with one Martin Langtree, a kind but gangly young man from Summer's past. A childhood friendship is rekindled, a romance is sparked, and mysteries are solved in one magical Texas summer. Will Summer strike out on love again, or will things finally go her way?

With lovable characters and surprising twists, Summer's List is a simple delight.

Recent Release: Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll

Most of the time when a new and exciting book has been released I share one - or a lot of - recent releases posts. Of course, this goes straight to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em.

Synopsis:


HER PERFECT LIFE
IS A PERFECT LIE.


As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue blood fiancé, she’s this close to living the perfect life she’s worked so hard to achieve.

But Ani has a secret.

There’s something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything.

With a singular voice and twists you won’t see coming, Luckiest Girl Aliveexplores the unbearable pressure that so many women feel to “have it all” and introduces a heroine whose sharp edges and cutthroat ambition have been protecting a scandalous truth, and a heart that's bigger than it first appears. 

The question remains: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for—or, will it at long last, set Ani free?

Recent Release: The Merit Birds by Kelley Powell

Most of the time when a new and exciting book has been released I share one - or a lot of - recent releases posts. Of course, this goes straight to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em.


Series: stand-alone
Genre: YA, contemporary
Publisher: Dundurn Group
Publication Date: May 2nd 2015
Length: 240 pages

Synopsis:

Eighteen-year-old Cam Scott is angry. He's angry about his absent dad, he's angry about being angry, and he's angry that he has had to give up his Ottawa basketball team to follow his mom to her new job in Vientiane, Laos. However, Cam's anger begins to melt under the Southeast Asian sun as he finds friendship with his neighbour, Somchai, and gradually falls in love with Nok, who teaches him about building merit, or karma, by doing good deeds, such as purchasing caged "merit birds." Tragedy strikes and Cam finds himself falsely accused of a crime. His freedom depends on a person he's never met. A person who knows that the only way to restore his merit is to confess. "The Merit Birds" blends action and suspense and humour in a far-off land where things seem so different, yet deep down are so much the same.

Recent Release: Trail of Broken Wings by Sejal Badani

Most of the time when a new and exciting book has been released I share one - or a lot of - recent releases posts. Of course, this goes straight to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em.
Series: stand-alone
Genre: Adult, women's fiction
Publisher: Lake Union Publishing
Publication Date: May 1st 2015
Length: 387 pages

Synopsis:

When her father falls into a coma, Indian American photographer Sonya reluctantly returns to the family she’d fled years before. Since she left home, Sonya has lived on the run, free of any ties, while her soft-spoken sister, Trisha, has created a perfect suburban life, and her ambitious sister, Marin, has built her own successful career. But as these women come together, their various methods of coping with a terrifying history can no longer hold their memories at bay.

Buried secrets rise to the surface as their father—the victim of humiliating racism and perpetrator of horrible violence—remains unconscious. As his condition worsens, the daughters and their mother wrestle with private hopes for his survival or death, as well as their own demons and buried secrets.

Told with forceful honesty, Trail of Broken Wings reveals the burden of shame and secrets, the toxicity of cruelty and aggression, and the exquisite, liberating power of speaking and owning truth.

Most of the time when a new and exciting book has been released I share one - or a lot of - recent releases posts. Of course, this goes straight to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em.


Series: The Asylum Saga #1
Genre: YA, paranormal
Publisher: Bookish Group Press
Publication Date: April 28th 2015
Length: 261 pages

Synopsis:

She meant to help a ghost...not unleash a curse.

Amelia Dupree hasn’t seen the Woman in White since the night her brother died. 

The ghost seems to have disappeared from the woods surrounding Asylum, Pennsylvania—that is, until Charlie Blue moves into the creepy old MacAllister House next door. Amelia can’t help liking him, even though she spent her childhood thinking his grandmother was a witch. And she definitely can’t ignore the connection between his arrival and the Woman in White’s return. 

Then Amelia learns that the Woman in White is a prisoner, trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead. Devastated by the idea that her brother could be suffering a similar fate, Amelia decides to do whatever it takes to help the Woman in White find peace--and Charlie agrees to help her.

But when Amelia’s classmates start to drown in the Susquehanna River, one right after another, rumors swirl as people begin to connect the timing of Charlie’s arrival with the unexplained deaths. As Charlie and Amelia uncover the dark history of Asylum, they realize they may have unleashed an unspeakable evil. One they have to stop before everything they love is destroyed.

Recent Release: The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma

Most of the time when a new and exciting book has been released I share one - or a lot of - recent releases posts. Of course, this goes straight to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em.
Series: stand-alone
Genre: YA, paranormal
Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers
Publication Date: March 24th 2015
Length: 336 pages

Synopsis:

“Ori’s dead because of what happened out behind the theater, in the tunnel made out of trees. She’s dead because she got sent to that place upstate, locked up with those monsters. And she got sent there because of me.”

The Walls Around Us is a ghostly story of suspense told in two voices—one still living and one long dead. On the outside, there’s Violet, an eighteen-year-old dancer days away from the life of her dreams when something threatens to expose the shocking truth of her achievement. On the inside, within the walls of a girls’ juvenile detention center, there’s Amber, locked up for so long she can’t imagine freedom. Tying these two worlds together is Orianna, who holds the key to unlocking all the girls’ darkest mysteries.

We hear Amber’s story and Violet’s, and through them Orianna’s, first from one angle, then from another, until gradually we begin to get the whole picture—which is not necessarily the one that either Amber or Violet wants us to see.

Nova Ren Suma tells a supernatural tale of guilt and innocence, and what happens when one is mistaken for the other.

Recent Release #1: After Dark by M. Pierce

Every Thursday I share a recent release that I'm excited about. Of course, this goes straight 
to my too large TBR-pile, but oh well. It's books - we need 'em. 


Series: Night Owl #3
Genre: Adult, romance; erotica
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Publication Date: March 24th 2015
Length: 272 pages

Synopsis:

At twenty-nine, Matt Sky is trying to return to normal, having faked his death and come back to life. He and Hannah move to a simple house in the suburbs, and strive to grow their relationship into something durable and honest. They become more and more entangled, in the best ways possible.

At twenty-eight, Hannah finally has the life she's always wanted: she's pursuing her career as a literary agent at Granite Wing Agency, she is writing her first solo novel, and she is living with her hot, passionate lover. For the first time, Matt and Hannah are able to explore intimacy without inhibitions—without lies, secrets, or jealousy—and the results are explosive.

Still life together is not as easy as it seems. Matt is estranged from his brothers in the wake of his cruel stunt; Seth Sky, embittered by his failed pursuit of Hannah, makes a play for Hannah's sister; and the topic of Hannah's novel—her relationship with Matt and the Sky family—is driving a wedge between her and Matt. The lovers are devoted to one another, having come through many ordeals, but is their bond strong enough to last a lifetime?
