The last week of January is ahead of us and it’s a really exciting week for all Book Lovers! It seems that publishers choose either the first week of a month or the last to release all their most anticipated titles 🙂 So naturally this week we had a bit of a problem to decide which among all those amazing titles we would choose to fulfill our Sunday Crave for books!
Susi, Caro and Jackie: Third Grave Dead Ahead by Darynda Jones
Grim reaper extraordinaire. Whatever. Charley Davidson is back! And she’s drinking copious amounts of caffeine to stay awake because, every time she closes her eyes, she sees him: Reyes Farrow, the parthuman, part-supermodel son of Satan. Yes, she did imprison him for all eternity, but come on. How is she supposed to solve a missing persons case, deal with an ego-driven doctor, calm her curmudgeonly dad, …
I always loved Sundays 🙂 . Especially in winter. I don’t know if you do the same thing as well, but Sunday for me means lots of sleep, lots of cuddling and lots and lots of resting to be ready to face another full week! I try to never think that the next day is Monday and I’ll start running again. There’s no need to depress myself. And you know what? I have always something new and exciting waiting for me in the corner. Exactly like the books below that hit the shelves this week. So pick a cup of hot coffee or chocolate and let’s start (oh, and a cupcake!This pic always makes me hungry 🙂 )!
Jackie: Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she’s returned- …

Book Blurb:
Peppa Grant’s fellow employees may call their new CEO Mr. McSexy, but she’s also heard that he’s aloof and distant. Cameron McCormac certainly seems cold toward Christmas when she meets him at the company’s annual party…but he’s also the sexiest man Peppa has ever seen. And when he offers to forgive the damage she accidentally caused to his expensive car in exchange for accompanying him to his family’s holiday get-together, she agrees.
Cameron needs a date to the family party to get his matchmaking relatives off his back. Their chemistry is instant and undeniable, leading to an incredible one-night stand. But Peppa wants love and family, while Cameron’s only interested in temporary pleasure. When their relationship takes …
Today we are introducing a new feature in Book Lovers, please everyone meet our Sunday Cravings! Before anything else let me just say that: isn’t that pic make you want to eat a cupcake right about now? I have some difficulties concentrating on writing while looking at it!
Anyway, enough with me drooling over a cupcake! Sunday Cravings is all about our drooling over books! Cause like genuine Book Lovers, we’re not only lusting over delicious desserts but over some very hot new releases that are about to hit the shelves. So, basically the idea behind the Sunday Cravings post is exactly that: we pick a title that is to be published in the week to come, tell you a couple of things about it and then wait for you to share your thoughts and tell which are your own Sunday Cravings!

Book Blurb:
Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can’t tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven’t been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down.
That’s when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly.
Chicago’s mayor insists it’s nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could …
Well, since this is a part two of my previous week’s wishlist post, you do well to imagine that just one post couldn’t possibly include every title I’m drooling over this year… And how could I ever include in just one post all the amazing books I can’t wait to read this year. And since it’s only January this means that I still haven’t been informed of all – scratch that – most of the upcoming releases of this year… But I’ll try to refrain myself and just let you know some more about a few other books that I just die to read!
Pure by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Our thoughts:
Anna: I think we should start this review by talking about the heroine, Tess. I pretty much …
Today we welcome to Book Lovers Inc Stacey Kennedy, whose newest release Supernaturally Kissed has hit the shelves on December 5th and believe me when I say it, that this book is unlike any paranormal romance you have read! (You can read our dual review here.) Stacey is here with us today to tell us in her own words about her new release and what makes Supernaturally Kissed such a unique paranormal romance title.
So, let’s give Stacey a warm welcome! 🙂
WOOT! SUPERNATURALLY KISSED has arrived! Is it your typical urban fantasy romance read? Not likely. The hero is a ghost, which comes with a whole slew of problems including that he can’t touch the heroine.
Can’t TOUCH the heroine? How is that even possible in a romance?
I’ll tell you it took some really creative thinking on my part …
