July ~ 2012

I have a feeling I'm missing a few, but I guess that's what I get for not writing them down! Here's July's (so far)...

102. The Eden Legacy...Will Adams

Quote

Fact collides with fiction in Will Adams's fourth pulse-pounding adventure featuring archaeologist Daniel Knox. Welcome to Eden. Population: Zero. After she finds out her estranged father and sister are missing from their coastal nature reserve in Madagascar, TV zoologist Rebecca Kirkpatrick is on the first flight home. Underwater archaeologist Daniel Knox is searching for a sunken Chinese treasure ship when he hears of the disappearances and ventures to The Eden Reserve to investigate. Still with a vendetta to settle, Georgian gangster dynasty the Nergadzes send a hitman to hunt down Knox and avenge them. As Knox chases answers he realizes that the idyllic coral reef of Eden hides an ugly truth -- someone is willing to kill and exploit people for a secret that will rewrite the history of the New World!

103. Beauty...Laurell K. Hamilton

Quote

With a vampire like Jean Claude around, it’s far too easy for Anita Blake to doubt her own appearance—and the hold it has on those who love her. But one hot tub and two incredibly sexy men—Jean Claude and Asher—will make her feel like the most lusted-after woman alive…or undead. Not bad for a mere human…

104. Kiss the Dead...Laurell K. Hamilton

Quote

When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master. And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…But even vampires have monsters that they’re afraid of. And Anita is one of them…

105. Deadlocked...Charlaine Harris

Quote

Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on there were things she’d rather not know. And now that she’s an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she’d rather not see—like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one.There’s a thing or two she’d like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet—Felipe de Castro, the Vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It’s the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric’s front yard—especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank.Now, it’s up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl’s fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who’s set out to make Sookie’s world come crashing down.

106. Thirst...Dania DesChamps

Quote

Dominique Olivet has come home to practice law in sultry Key West, an island of close-knit natives, Catholicism and an enduring belief in brujas, the Hispanic witches. Appointed by the court to represent a medical student accused of raping a young pregnant woman and brutally slashing her throat, Dominique confronts an intricate web of decapitated victims and failed murder attempts. She finds herself pitted against a psychopath with a thirst for blood who will lead her into the darkest recesses of the mind, or perhaps, into a reality too frightening to acknowledge.
