I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts LOL) and as always I recommend sampling before you buy!
It’s a mix of the genres in no particular order. Also the term “new” is generally plus or minus a week or two. And I catch up on ones I missed in recent months.
(NOTE: If the author provides me with buy links I insert those; otherwise I default to Amazon and iBooks.)
Also, I usually include only the beginning of the book blurb…

VS NOTE: Always exciting to have a new one in this series. One clicked!
A covert mission gone horribly wrong. Cool, composed spy, Devlin Gray is used to bad situations, but locked in the bowels of an alien facility with tough, sexy soldier Taylor and told to mate is bad. Very bad. During his career, he’s had to lie and kill, he’s been betrayed, and he knows he works best on his own. Now he is forced to depend on Taylor, and together they have to find a way to escape before it’s too late…
Taylor Cates has already been to hell once before. She lives to fight for others, just like her mother once fought for her, and Taylor vows to do whatever it takes to escape the aliens….
ONE FELL SWEEP (INNKEEPER CHRONICLES BOOK 3) by Ilona Andrews
VS NOTE: I’ve been waiting for this one, love this series!
Dina DeMille may run the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, but she caters to a very particular kind of guest… the kind that no one on Earth is supposed to know about. Guests like a former intergalactic tyrant with an impressive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displaced-and-superhot werewolf; so don’t stand too close, or you may be collateral damage.
But what passes for Dina’s normal life is about to be thrown into chaos….

BROKEN ANGEL (A BAD THINGS NOVEL) by Cynthia Eden
VS NOTE: It was when reading a Cynthia Eden novel a long time ago I first realized the ancient Egyptian gods I wanted to write about could be seen as shifters…which eventually led to my first published novel, which features the Crocodile God of ancient Egypt as a shifter. It was a HUGE breakthru for me as a writer and I’ll always credit Ms. Eden. She’s also a lovely person!
