Shadow Heir by Richelle Mead

Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land’s prophecy-haunted queen, there’s no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld…

The spell-driven source of the blight isn’t the only challenge to Eugenie’s instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can’t trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can’t–or won’t–reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon–and risk the ultimate sacrifice.

All right! Time to crack out those newly-received gift cards and get to book buying! There is a lot of great stuff on release this week, with stand-alones and series both new and established. Richelle Mead’s latest is the last book in her series (and a must-read for those awaiting the conclusion of her crazy story arc!), but I must say that I’m personally looking forward to Sugar Rush by Donna Kauffman. Because after all, who wouldn’t want to combine romance and cupcakes? ^_^

But what about you…anything strike your fancy from this week’s selection of releases?
