Friday Finds (2)

This week I actually found new books! I'm not sure if this is a good thing and there's just a lot of books coming out, or that I'm getting sloppy and behind on releases...let's go with the first one. Anyways, here they are:

Dark Visions: The Strange Power, The Possessed, The Passion - L.J Smith

GIFTED AND CURSED Kaitlyn Fairchild has always felt like an outsider. Her haunting eyes and prophetic drawings have earned her a reputation as a witch. But Kait’s not a witch: she’s psychic. Tired of being shunned, Kait accepts an invitation to attend the Zetes Institute, where she can study with other psychic teens and have a fresh start.

As Kaitlyn learns to hone her abilities with four other gifted students, she starts to discover the intensity of her power - and the joy of having true friends. But those friendships quickly become complicated when Kait finds herself torn between two irresistible guys. Rob is a healer - kind and gentle, he’s surrounded by good energy, while Gabriel is aggressive and mysterious - a telepath concealing his true nature.

Together, Rob and Gabriel’s opposing forces start to threaten the group’s stability, and when a experiment traps the five teens in a psychic link - a link that threatens their sanity and their lives - Kaitlyn must decide who to trust and who to love . . .

I found this at Books, Books, and More Books. This one looks awesome! I love L.J. Smith and the premise looks dark and pretty original. And the cover is made of awesome. Seriously. Someone made it out of awesome instead of paper. You don't believe me? You shouldn't... I'm kidding.


Under My Skin by Judith Graves

All her parents wanted was for Eryn to live a normal life...
Redgrave had its share of monsters before Eryn moved to town. Mauled pets, missing children.
The Delacroix family is taking the blame, but Eryn knows the truth. Something stalks the night. Wade, the police chief's son and Redgrave High's resident hottie, warns her the Delacroix are dangerous. But then so is Eryn - in fact, she's lethal.
But she can't help falling for one of the Delacroix boys, dark, brooding - human Alec. And then it all goes bad.
A normal life? Now that's the real fairytale.


This one sounds really good too! I'm not sure when it comes out. And is Judith Graves a pen name? I'd think so, I like it. I found Under my Skin at The Hiding Spot.


Soulless by Gail Carriger

Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart? SOULLESS is a comedy of manners set in Victorian London: full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.

This is the first one in the series, right? I hope so, it looks REALLY good. Anyone know when it comes out? Sorry, I don't remember where I found this one and it's gonna bug me all day....

Some awesome -paranormal- finds this week!

Oh, and a huge frantic welcome wave to everyone who found out about Shut Up! I'm Reading. through The Story Siren's most recent Fresh Face Friday! She rocks, doesn't she? I suppose I should really get working on my book....What? Oh, yeah, welcome!

Friday Finds (1)

I forgot to do my Waiting on Wednesday, so, viola! My first Friday Finds.

Principal Taft's 3 Simple Rules for Surviving a Zombie Uprising:

Rule #1: While in the halls, walk slowly and wear a vacant expression on your face. Zombies won't attack other zombies.

Rule #2: Never travel alone. Move in packs. Follow the crowd. Zombies detest blatant displays of individuality.

Rule #3: If a zombie should attack, do not run. Instead, throw raw steak at to him. Zombies love raw meat. This display of kindness will go a long way.

On the night of her middle school graduation, Margot Jean Johnson wrote a high school manifesto detailing her goals for what she was sure would be a most excellent high school career. She and her best friend, Sybil, would be popular and, most important, have boyfriends. Three years later, they haven't accomplished a thing!

Then Margot and Sybil arrive at school one day to find that most of the student body has been turned into flesh-eating zombies. When kooky Principal Taft asks the girls to coexist with the zombies until the end of the semester, they realize that this is the perfect opportunity to live out their high school dreams. All they have to do is stay alive....

Sounds frickin' awesome right? It's being released August 18th, I didn't realize it was so soon! I'm gonna go put it on hold at my library. :)
