Description:

Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has finally found an identity as one of the most brutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems to be within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another….

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: The male has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young—just as Qhuinn has always wanted for himself. It’s hard to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. As he’s learned firsthand.

Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions… but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn finally learns the true definition of courage, and two hearts who are meant to be together… finally become one..

Disclaimer: This week, some books were indeed harmed in the making of this booklist. ‘Tis all in the pursuit of brevity and consiceness, of course, but the raw list from this round of new releases far outstripped a reasonable length in which to present them. Never fear, though…the group presented above features some absolutely thrilling and highly anticipated titles.

I’m sure that, no matter what your specific preferences in the realm of genre fiction, it’s very likely this set of new releases includes at least one book you’ve been waiting for, for what feels like forever. Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep. Of Shadow Born by Dianne Sylvan. Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost. …and at last…Lover at Last! (YEAAHAHHHHHOOO!)

Promising new titles include Dweller on the Threshold (bring on the badass supernatural heroine investigator!), Going Vintage (a cute YA contemporary featuring a young lady who shuns technology), and Black Feathers (can’t encompass it in a few words…just looks like a fantasy/alternate world mind trip). Whether you’ve waited ages for that new series release, or find something brand new, this is a great week for book lovers. ^_^

. . .

Anything in this group of releases that you’ve been waiting for eagerly (whether on this list or elsewhere)? What’s the longest you’ve anticipated an in-progress series title? (some authors put them out yearly–others…not so much ^_^)
