Good Monday, Muses!
July is coming quickly to an end and unfortunately there are not many titles coming out this week. BUT, that is quite alright since August is right around the corner and their are many exciting releases to come. So this is a great week to kind of sit back and save a little money. Of course there are still a few releases this week worth mentioning!
In Adult books, Seduced by Blood, the 4th novel in Laurie Landon's Sweetblood vampire series will be hitting shelves on Tuesday. For those who like erotica, the e-book Ink Lust by Jayne Kingston sounds yummy. In Young Adult, fans of Kiersten White's Paranormalcy series will be excited for the release of book 3 called Endlessly. I personally am looking forward to checking out the much talked about Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein.
In movies, Silent House might be worth checking out if you need a horror fix. Also, it is the only movie this week that comes in a Blu-ray-DVD combo pack. And lastly, in TV Series, the STARZ originally series, Boss Season 1 comes to blu-ray and dvd. I am not a huge Kelsey Grammer fan, but I've been hearing that he is absolutely amazing in this show.

Technomancer (Unspeakable Things, #1)
by: B.V. Larson
When Quentin Draith wakes up in a private sanatorium, he has no memory of who he is or how he received the injuries riddling his body. All he knows is that he has to get out, away from the drugs being pumped into him and back to the real world to search for answers. His first question: How did his friend Tony’s internal organs fill with sand, killing him in a Las Vegas car crash?
After a narrow escape, he tracks down the basic facts: he is an investigator and blogger specializing in the supernatural—which is a good thing, because Quentin’s life is getting stranger by the minute. It seems he is one of a special breed, a person with unusual powers. He’s also the prime suspect in a string of murders linked by a series of seemingly mundane objects. The deeper he digs and the harder he works to clear his name, the more Quentin realizes that some truths are better off staying buried…

YOUNG ADULT
Cold Fury (Cold Fury, #1)
by: T.M. Goeglein
Sara Jane Rispoli is a normal sixteen-year-old coping with school and a budding romance--until her parents and brother are kidnapped and she discovers her family is deeply embedded in the Chicago Outfit (aka the mob).
Now on the run from a masked assassin, rogue cops and her turncoat uncle, Sara Jane is chased and attacked at every turn, fighting back with cold fury as she searches for her family. It's a quest that takes her through concealed doors and forgotten speakeasies--a city hiding in plain sight. Though armed with a .45 and 96K in cash, an old tattered notebook might be her best defense--hidden in its pages the secret to "ultimate power." It's why she's being pursued, why her family was taken, and could be the key to saving all of their lives.
Action packed, with fresh, cinematic writing, Cold Fury is a riveting and imaginative adventure readers will devour.

Drain You
by: M. Beth Bloom
Actions meant reactions. Sunrises meant sunsets. My fear was too permanent, lasting longer than eyeliner, something I wore every day and didn't wash off.
Quinlan Lacey's life is a red carpet of weird fashions, hip bands, random parties, and chilling by the pool with her on-and-off BFF Libby. There's also her boring job (minimum wage), a crushed-out coworker (way too interested), her summer plans (nada), and her parents (totally clueless). Then one night she meets gorgeous James, and Quinn's whole world turns crazy, Technicolor, 3-D, fireworks, whatever.
But with good comes bad and unfortunately, Quinn's new romance brings with it some majorly evil baggage. Now, to make things right, she has to do a lot of things wrong (breaking and entering, kidnapping, lying, you name it).
There's normal, and then there's paranormal, and neither are Quinlan's cup of Diet Coke. Staying sane, cool, in love, and alive isn't so easy breezy.
Release Date: 24 July 2012

by: Kiersten White
