Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James
For Review/Upcoming Tour
 
From Amazon - Who is Katherine Patterson? It is a question she hopes no one can answer. To erase her past, Katherine has moved to a new city, enrolled in a new school, and even changed her name. She’s done the next best thing to disappearing altogether. Now, wary and alone, she seeks nothing more than anonymity. What she finds instead is the last thing she expected: a friend.

Even more unlikely, Katherine’s new friend is the most popular and magnetic girl in school. Extroverted, gorgeous, flirtatious, and unpredictable, she is everything that Katherine is not and doesn’t want to be: the center of attention. Yet Alice’s enthusiasm is infectious, her candor sometimes unsettling, and Katherine, in spite of her guarded caution, finds herself drawn into Alice’s private circle.

But Alice has secrets, too—darker than anyone can begin to imagine. And when she lets her guard down at last, Katherine discovers the darkest of them all. For there will be no escaping the past for Katherine Patterson—only a descent into a trap far more sinister . . . and infinitely more seductive.
 

Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer
For Review/Upcoming Tour
 
From Amazon - Abbie Fox hasn’t seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years, during which she’s jetted around the world and experienced life, if not love. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home to Nantucket. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, emotionally devastated after the loss of her high-powered stockbroker’s job and a shockingly unexpected break-up with her fiancé. Also, Lily is deeply worried that Marina, the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse, has set her sights on the sisters’ widowed father, Jim. The Fox girls closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock.

Over the course of the summer, the sisters’ lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents encircling Nantucket. When Abbie encounters an incredibly appealing married man, she breaks her own rules in the name of love, fearing all the while that she’ll regret it. Meanwhile, type-A Emma learns a new definition of success, and strong-minded Lily must reconcile her dreams with reality. Even Marina, who has come to Nantucket to forget heartbreak and betrayal, faces an astonishing turn of events that will find her torn between fate and freedom. At summer’s end, these unforgettable women will face profound choices—and undergo personal transformations that will surprise even themselves.
 
 

Unchained: The Dark Forgotten by Sharon Ashwood
For Review

Shadowglass by Erica Hayes
For Review
 
From Amazon - It’s party time at the bar in which deals are made, wings groped, substances wildly abused, and insecure, strawberry-scented Ice, a thieving fairy in a society of demons, lacks any semblance of cool as she fruitlessly throws herself at muscled-up Indigo. Drunk and horny, she settles for a quick-sex fix with “a demon lord” in the next bar stool—literally. Eros, dragon flame, vamp fangs, and barbed wings abound in this underworld in which banshee bodyguards watch over bad boys DiLuca, LaFaro, and Valenti, who unleash poisoned claws as black spines spring from their shoulder blades. Hayes’ fast-moving, graphically erotic, violence-filled fantasy alternates Ice’s first-person point of view accounts and third-person chapters as the plot revolves around a mirror Ice filches that weakens her into betraying a dear friend and shatters her self-control by giving her what she thought she wanted—namely, free-wheeling, confident bravery. She must somehow get rid of the mirror. But she still ought to be careful what she wishes for.
