Title: Ultraviolet
Author: R.J. Anderson
US Release Date: Sometime in September
Synopsis from Goodreads:

Once upon a time there was a girl who was special.

This is not her story.

Unless you count the part where I killed her.

Sixteen-year-old Alison has been sectioned in a mental institute for teens, having murdered the most perfect and popular girl at school. But the case is a mystery: no body has been found, and Alison's condition is proving difficult to diagnose. Alison herself can't explain what happened: one minute she was fighting with Tori -- the next she disintegrated. Into nothing. But that's impossible. Right?

We here at Paranormal Wastelands are super mondo excited about this book.

Title: Anna Dressed in Blood
Author: Kendare Blake
Release Date: August 30th 2011
Synopsos from Goodreads:

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.

So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.

When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.

But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.

We here at Paranormal Wastelands are super mondo excited about this book. I mean BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD!! How can you go wrong with all that BLOOD!!! Yes!!! Oh yeah, and the story sounds good too ;)

Title: Dark Awakening
Author: Kendra Leigh Castle
Published: July 1, 2011
Synopsis from Goodreads

Enter the world of the Dark Dynasties . . .

For centuries, shapeshifting vampire Tynan MacGillivray has prowled the night as an outcast, valued only for his ferocious hunting skills. When a feud among the immortals escalates into all-out war, he is ordered by his ruthless queen to locate a Seer-a human woman with a special gift-who can secure victory for their clan. Ty's search leads him to a quiet New England town, but once he has the Seer in his grasp, her touch awakens within him a hunger like he's never known . . .

Lily Quinn has always been different. Since childhood, she's had vivid nightmares and an eerie sixth sense. When a sexy, silver-eyed stranger demands her help, Lily plunges into a new world of danger and sensuality. With Ty, she discovers sizzling passions she cannot deny and powers she cannot control. Soon, it is clear that Lily is much more than a Seer-she holds the key to ancient secrets and unthinkable destruction. But will a vampire's vow of eternal protection stop these evil forces . . . or unleash her dark destiny?

Title: The Night Circus
Author: Erin Morgenstern
Expected Publication: September 13, 2011
Synopsis from Goodreads

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus per­formers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.



How cool does that sound? Sure it reminds us a bit of Cirque Du Freak with the circus just showing up in town with maybe with some tiddles of Beautiful Creatures flair... but how cool is that?!!!

And what can we say about a book that just makes us want to ride dangerous motorcycles in the Cage of Death?

(note: Darkfallen had to handcuff Greta and restrain her legs with rope as they entered the Cage of Death... for some reason Greta started thinking it might be a bad idea just to show your love for an upcoming book. Greta doesn't feel that the Cage of Death really counted as excitement because of her limited mobility and the forceful shoving on Darkfallen's part. But Darkfallen reassured her it was still legit as she revved up the motorcycle they were riding doubles on causing Greta to scream like a little girl, which Darkfallen took as excited squeals.)
