Hello, Muses!
August is quickly coming to a close, but boy is it leaving with a bang! In Adult books, the 2nd book in the Miriam Black series called Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig hits shelves today. If you are a fan of erotic romance, then you need to check out award winning author Laurann Dohner and Obsidian, book 8 in her New Species series. If you like super heroes, Adam Christopher's Seven Wonders sounds interesting. In Young Adult, I absolutely can't wait for my copy of Sara Walsh's The Dark Light to come in the mail! C.J. Redwine Defiance has been getting mixed reviews but it still may be worth a try! The book that has been creating a lot of buzz in the blog world is David Levithan's Every Day. I have no doubt it will climb up the charts.
In movies, Battleship (blu-ray-dvd combo pack) is the big budget action flick that was based off of the popular board game. I didn't care for it, but if you are looking for a couple of hours of mindless entertainment, then you may want to give it a shot. Want to impress the girlfriend? There are two romantic films out today, one called The Lucky One (blu-ray-dvd combo pack) starring Zac Efron and Think Like a Man starring a hilarious ensemble cast.
The next couple of weeks will be TV Series wonderland! Fall tv is about to start so this is when last season's tv shows start coming out on dvd and/or blu-ray. Sons of Anarchy: Season 4, Walking Dead: Season 2, Homeland: Season 1, and Once Upon a Time: Season 1 are just a few of the shows released today. There is more to be released in the coming weeks.
Enjoy!

Grace does. She's got more demon than she can saddle. In fact, she's got a sinfully sexy Crown Prince of Hell named Caspian. She's also got ten days to get rid of him or Bad Things shall ensue. See, her Russian mobster ex-boyfriend didn't take kindly to her smutty Mephistophelean contract. It's not that she's conspiring with fiends; that was his idea. It's that she's conspiring against him with outrageous devilry that runs the gamut from embarrassing to a dead hooker turned dominatrix demon gunning for his soul.
One should never trust demons, let alone shag them. They don't have hearts. Yet Grace is buying hers some slightly tarnished armor and hoping that once he's been shoveled into it, kicking and screaming, he'll find it's just his size. This wicked witch needs a white knight--or at least a Prince of Darkness for a Happily Ever After.

The Walking Dead: Season 2
When the world is ravaged by a zombie apocalypse, police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and a small group of others struggle to stay alive as 'the dead' stalk them at every turn. Can Rick and the others hold onto their humanity as they fight to live in this terrifying new world? And, amidst dire conditions and personal rivalries, will they ultimately survive one another?
Based on Robert Kirkman's hugely successful and popular comic book series, AMC's original series "The Walking Dead" is an epic, edge-of-your-seat drama where personal struggles are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment crisis. A survivalist story at its core, the series explores how the living are changed by the overwhelming realization that those who survive can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth. They themselves have become the walking dead.
