Happy Monday, Muses!
And happy Hunger Games! That's right, on Saturday, August 18th you will be able to pick up your very own copy of The Hunger Games on blu-ray or dvd! If you absolutely can't wait, check out your local Walmart or movie stores because many places are doing midnight release parties (such as my store, I work part time at a Moviestop) on Friday. So go get dressed up and have some fun while you anxiously await until midnight!
In Adult books, there are a few interesting releases this week. If you are looking for a book that will move you, check out 600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster. Need spice in your life? More Than Words by Karla Doyle and Wake Me Up Inside by Cardeno C both sound yummy! And if you are looking for something different, Romeo Spikes by Joanne Reay has an interesting premise!
In Young Adult, Onyx, the much anticipated sequel to Jennifer L. Armentrout's Obsidian finally hits shelves tomorrow. I am actually looking forward to reading Earth Girl by Janet Edwards, but be aware that it is a UK release as I believe Janet Edwards is a UK writer. I just liked the premise so much that I figured to add it to this list as some of you with amazon.com accounts can easily go to the amazon.uk site to order the book if it catches your fancy.
Not much is going on in the movie department other than The Hunger Games, although I want to check out the gay musical Leave It on the Floor. If you are into action/martial arts movies, then you may want to check out The Raid: Redemption, although I personally didn't care for it.
Finally, in TV Series, the 2 big releases are Glee: Season 3 and Dexter: Season 6. This is a great time to get caught up on both if you are behind since the new seasons of both shows start back up soon.
Enjoy these great releases and may the odds be ever in your favor!

More Than Words
by: Karla Doyle
A
brutal mugging two years ago left Calli terrified to go out after dark,
and incapable of real dating. Hanging out with a resentful Chihuahua
every night hasn’t filled the void, and all the sex toys from the store
she owns could never replace a flesh-and-blood man. An online Scrabble
site promising anonymous, flirty fun sounds like just the ticket. A
like-minded geek, that’s what she needs. Unbeknownst to her, the man on
the other end of the game is anything but geeky.
Tired
of the party scene, Travis seeks a venue where he can meet a woman who
is drawn to his mind, not his profession. Having women chase after his
bad-boy musician persona has grown stale. After heating up the tiles
online with Calli, he knows he must meet her in person. Touch her in
person. And when he does, their chemistry is undeniable. She stimulates
him, mind and body. But when he discovers her tragic past he realizes it
will take more than words to win her heart…and her trust.

Romeo Spikes
The Tormenta.
If you think you’ve never encountered Tormenta, think again. You’re friends with one. Have worked for one. Maybe even fallen in love with one.
They walk amongst us—looking like us, talking like us. Coercing our subconscious with their actions.
Like the long-legged beauty that seduces the goofy geek only to break his heart, causing him to break his own neck in a noose. Or the rockstar, whose every song celebrates self-harm, inspiring his devoted fans to press knives to their own throats. The pusher who urges the addict toward one more hit, bringing him a high from which he’ll never come down. The tyrannical boss, crushing an assistant’s spirit until a bridge jump brings her low.
We call it a suicide. Tormenta call it a score, their demonic powers allowing them to siphon off the unspent lifespan of those who harm themselves.
To Bianco, being a cop is about right and wrong. Working with Lola is about this world and the next...and maybe the one after that. Because everything is about to change. The coming of a mighty Tormenta is prophesied, a dark messiah known as the Mosca.
To stop him, Bianco and Lola must fight their way through a cryptic web of secret societies and powerful legends to crack an ancient code that holds the only answer to the Mosca’s defeat. If this miscreant rises before they can unmask him, darkness will reign, and mankind will fall in a storm of suicides.
Nobody’s safe. Everyone’s a threat.

Blink & Caution
by: Tim Wynne-Jones
Boy, did Blink get off on the wrong floor. All he wanted was to steal some breakfast for his empty belly, but instead he stumbled upon a fake kidnapping and a cell phone dropped by an "abducted" CEO, giving Blink a link to his perfect blonde daughter. Now Blink is on the run, but it’s OK as long as he’s smart enough to stay in the game and keep Captain Panic locked in his hold. Enter a girl named Caution. As in "Caution: Toxic." As in "Caution: Watch Your Step." She’s also on the run, from a skeezy drug-dealer boyfriend and from a nightmare in her past that won’t let her go. When she spies Blink at the train station, Caution can see he’s an easy mark. But there’s something about this naïve, skinny street punk, whom she only wanted to rob, that tugs at her heart, a heart she thought deserved not to feel. Charged with suspense and intrigue, this taut novel trails two deeply compelling characters as they forge a blackmail scheme that is foolhardy at best, disastrous at worst - along with a fated, tender partnership that will offer them each a rare chance for redemption.

Faith is not without help, in the form of her newfound powers of sensing people’s emotions and being able to influence werewolves’ actions, not to mention her begrudging but rather helpful boyfriend. Even so, convincing a werewolf packmaster to prepare for an epic battle may be difficult to do without solid evidence.
Lose yourself once more in the deliciously suspenseful world of werewolves versus vampires, otherworldly boys with deadly charm, and addictive, spine-tingling action and romance!
