Hello my lovely Muses!
I never got around to posting my picks for last week, so I decided to make one big post which includes new releases from February 19th to March 2nd.
Also, I haven't had the chance to celebrate Black History Month, but I think the image above makes a statement without words.
Enjoy these new releases in books, movies, and tv series!

Big Bad Bite (Big Bad Bite, #1)
by: Jessie Lane
What would it be like to live in a world where you are considered abnormal to those who are above the norm?
Jenna
O’ Conner has been taught her whole life to hide from everyone. Never
to let anyone to close enough to know that she would prefer a shotgun
for her birthday over of a bouquet of r knoses. She’s been smothered by her
over protective family so that no one learns what she truly is. Which
is not human. Nor, is she considered the norm for the supernatural Other
community that is benevolent enough to share this world with the
humans.
In a desperate attempt to live her own life away from the
small town she was raised in, Jenna obtains her dream job as the newest
member on the Wilmington Police Department’s SWAT Team. What she didn’t
predict was that she would run into trouble her first day on the job,
in the form of a deadly, mouthwatering man named Adam McPhee. Who is
also not human, but more like a wolf walking around in human skin. He’s
determined to figure out exactly what Jenna is, which unbeknownst to
him, could very well put her life in danger. He’s also determined to
have her all to himself.
As if that wasn’t enough for Jenna to
deal with, bad news blows into town. A group of extremist Shifters who
think humans are cattle and factions of Others worldwide should stay
within their own species - never to intermingle. Chaos ensues. Jenna has
to find a way to shut them down, but in the process of trying to do
that, discovers things about herself that even she never thought was
possible.
Who said the wolf was what you had to worry about?
Welcome to the real world.

Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack, #1)
by: Suzanne Wright
If your inner wolf and
your body react rather enthusiastically to a psychotic Alpha male who’s
own wolf has a tendency to turn feral, it can’t be a good thing, can it?
Entering into a bargain with him wouldn’t be good either.
Unfortunately, Taryn Warner, a latent wolf shifter, doesn’t have many
options open to her right now. Okay, she has no options. Basically it
comes down to whether she’ll do what it takes to escape the arranged
mating with the sick SOB that her father set up. As the answer in this
case is yes, it looks as though she’ll have to agree to Trey Coleman’s
deal…she’ll have to mate with him instead.
Having always
disliked shifter politics, Trey Coleman hadn’t bothered trying to form
alliances with other packs. Now that his uncle – a wolf with many
alliances – means to take Trey’s territory and his pack, he has no
option but to form some alliances of his own very quickly or he’ll be
easily outnumbered in the upcoming battle. He figures that the easiest
way to do that would be to mate with a female who’s Alpha is powerful
and influential. There’s only one problem with that – he would then be
stuck with her, and the last thing Trey wants is a mate. When he hears
of Taryn’s situation, he offers her a deal – if she falsely claims he’s
her true mate and allows him to claim her, he’ll save her from her
arranged mating and then let her leave after the battle with his uncle
is over.
Sounds like a pretty straightforward deal...but soon
Taryn and Trey realize they got more than they bargained for. Their
mating instincts to protect and possess are weighing on them, they crave
each other’s touch and company, and their inner wolves don’t like it
whenever they’re apart. Add in that they’ll have to deal with this for
an entire three months until the day of the battle finally arrives, and
they’ve got themselves a recipe for disaster – or maybe for something
quite the opposite.

Dreams and Shadows
by: C. Robert Cargill
There is another world
than our own, as close and intimate as a kiss, as terrifying and
haunting as nightmares, a realm where fairies and djinns, changelings
and angels, all the stuff of which dreams are made is real...and where
magic awaits in the shadows, just a hidden step away. Between this realm
and that other lies a veil, a gossamer web that muddles the vision of
mortal man and keeps him from seeing what is all around him. Sometimes,
someone pierces that protective veil. But one glimpse of this world can
forever transform lives. Just ask Ewan and Colby...
Once upon the
time, the pair were once bold explorers and youthful denizens of this
magical realm, until they left that world behind them. Now, Ewan is a
musician living in Austin, and has just met the girl he wants to marry.
Colby is still coping with the consequences of an innocent childhood
wish that haunts him all these years later. While their time in the
Limestone Kingdom is little more than a distant memory, this
supernatural world has never forgotten them. And in a world where angels
relax on rooftops, whiskey-swilling genies and foul-mouthed wizards
argue metaphysics, and monsters in the dark feed on fear, both will
learn that fate can never be outrun.

by: Lara Adrian
Twenty years after the
terror of First Dawn—when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly
among them—the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to
coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an
elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and
vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and
shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight
bears an intensely personal cost.
Raised among the Order, Mira
has always believed in the warrior’s code of swift—and even
lethal—justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order’s
hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter.
In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough
exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he
mysteriously disappeared, never to return.
Kellan didn’t think he
would ever see Mira again—or have to confront the truth of why he left.
After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human
rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a
high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past
he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to
forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan
and Mira must take sides—between the competing missions that dominate
their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.

Life and Times of Grizzly Adams: Season 2
Starring: Dan Haggerty
Dan Haggerty stars in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, an
adventure/nature series that follows the exploits of an unfairly accused
man who chooses to live exiled in the wilderness rather than stand
trial for a crime he did not commit. Along the way, he discovers and
adopts an orphaned grizzly bear cub that he names Ben. Assisted by an
old trader known as Mad Jack
Denver Pyle and his blood brother Nakoma
Don Shanks, Adams and Ben learn to live in complete harmony with nature.
As a mid-season replacement for NBC in 1977, The Life and Times of

against ABC's stalwart, The Bionic Woman, and the undeniable chemistry
between Haggerty and Ben, the network expanded the show into a regular
weekly series beginning that Fall. Though the characters and plots were
undeniably simple, it was this combination that the show's audience
craved and responded to by tuning in religiously.
Timeless Media Group is proud to present, for the first time and in its entirety, the second season of
The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.

Directed by: David France
Starring: n/a
How to Survive a Plague is the story of two coalitions-ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group)-whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. With unfettered access to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and
'90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
Directed by: Bill Condon
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson
Twihards, rejoice! In
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2, love for Bella and Edward is not only triumphant--it's a love story for the ages. The finale in the wildly successful
Twilight
teen vampire romance saga will satisfy every passionate fan, and yet is
broad enough in its appeal that even those who think they aren't
invested in the Bella-Edward story will be drawn in as well.
Breaking Dawn, Part 2
is breathtakingly beautiful, with sumptuous cinematography showing off
the stark beauty of the Pacific Northwest, especially in the dead of
winter. And speaking of stark beauty, Bella (Kristen Stewart) is even
more ravishing than ever. She awakens at the beginning of
Breaking Dawn, Part 2
as a "newborn" vampire, having been "turned" as she was dying during
the birth of her and Edward's (Robert Pattinson) half-vampire daughter.
Vampire Bella flies through the forests barefoot in a royal-blue sheath,
no hint of post-baby body weighing her or her new superpowers down.
Bella and Edward waste no time making good use of the cozy new cottage
in the woods and its enticing bedroom. "Why do we need a bedroom?" Bella
asks Edward. "We're vampires, we don't sleep." Edward, adoration in his
eyes, quickly shows her the answer.
And their daughter? Well,
little baby Renesmee starts out as a slightly creepy computer-generated
animation creature, but as she grows--very quickly--into girlhood, she's
played with winsome solemnity by young Mackenzie Foy. The girl is
"imprinted" at birth to werewolf Jacob (hunky Taylor Lautner, often
shirtless), who will from then on be bound to the wolf pack in a deep
and special way. Yet
Breaking Dawn, Part 2 carries true,
operatic-style action as well as the love-triangle drama from earlier
films. Because of the birth of the child vampire, the powerful Volturi
in Rome are alerted, and, led by Aro (played by Michael Sheen, who
appears to be having entirely too much fun), come to the Northwest for a
shattering showdown over the fate of the Cullens. The confrontation, as
directed by the deft Bill Condon, is intense and creatively
choreographed (and fairly violent, given the film's PG-13 rating), with
dark, wild music accompanying the Volturi's malevolent intentions and
our heroes' fierce devotion to one another.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 demonstrates that love and family can surmount nearly every obstacle. And sometimes love can truly be forever.
