Here's my choice for this week!

 Circle of the Moon

(Soulwood, Book 4)

Faith Hunter

Trade Paperback, 400 pages

Ace Books

   February 26, 2019 

 Fantasy, Paranormal Fiction,

Urban Fantasy

Set in the same world as Faith Hunter's New York Times bestselling Jane Yellowrock novels, the fourth Soulwood novel stars Nell Ingram, who channels her power from the earth.

Nell can draw magic from the land around her, and lately she's been using it to help the Psy-Law Enforcement Division, which solves paranormal crimes. Joining the team at PsyLED has allowed her to learn more about her powers and the world she always shunned--and to find true friends.

Head agent Rick LaFleur shifts into a panther when the moon calls him, but this time, something has gone wrong. Rick calls Nell from a riverbank--he's disoriented, with no memory of how he came to be there, and there's a dead black cat, sacrificed in a witch circle and killed by black magic, lying next to him.

Then more animals turn up dead, and team rushes to investigate. A blood-witch is out to kill. But when it seems as if their leader is involved in the crime, the bonds that hold the team together could shatter at any moment.

 Why I can't wait for this one!

Well, I haven't read any of the Jane Yellowrock novels, but they are well-known for being 
action-packed, with all kinds of paranormal activities! They're kinda like the Patricia Briggs books I've heard SO much about!
This book, from another new series, has a GORGEOUS cover, and 
the plot sounds very intriguing! 
So I'm adding this one to my already 
full Goodreads shelves!
(Yeah, yeah, I know....I have to read the 
previous ones first.....lol.)

Welcome, welcome to Finale, the third and final book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Caraval series!
Welcome, welcome to Caraval...all games must come to an end.

It’s been two months since the last Caraval concluded, two months since the Fates have been freed from an enchanted deck of cards, two months since Tella has seen Legend, and two months since Legend claimed the empire’s throne as his own. Now, Legend is preparing for his official coronation and Tella is determined to stop it. She believes her own mother, who still remains in an enchanted sleep, is the rightful heir to the throne.

Meanwhile, Scarlett has started a game of her own. She’s challenged Julian and her former fiancé, Count Nicolas d’Arcy, to a competition where the winner will receive her hand in marriage. Finaly, Scarlett feels as if she is in complete control over her life and future. She is unaware that her mother’s past has put her in the greatest danger of all.

Caraval is over, but perhaps the greatest game of all has begun―with lives, empires, and hearts all at stake. There are no spectators this time: only those who will win...and those who will lose everything. . .

 Why I can't wait for this one!

I own a copy of the first volume in this series, titled Caraval. Of course, I need to read it, and then move on to the second volume, and then this one!! 
This series is supposed to be AWESOME!!

 Last of Her Name

Jessica Khoury

Hardcover,  400 pages

Scholastic Press

   February 26, 2019

Historical Retellings, Science Fiction, 

Young Adult Fiction

Sixteen years ago, rebellion swept the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels. Every member of the royal family was murdered--down to their youngest child, Princess Anya--and the Union government rose in its place. But Stacia doesn't think much about politics. She spends her days half-wild, rambling her father's vineyard with her closest friends, Clio and Pol.

That all changes the day a Union ship appears in town, carrying the leader of the Belt himself, the Direktor Eminent. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya is alive, and that Stacia's sleepy village is a den of empire loyalists, intent on hiding her. When Stacia is identified as the lost princess, her provincial home explodes into a nightmare.

Pol smuggles her away to a hidden escape ship in the chaos, leaving Clio in the hands of the Union. With everything she knows threading away into stars, Stacia sets her heart on a single mission. She will find and rescue Clio, even with the whole galaxy on her trail.

 Why I can't wait for this one!

OMG!!!! This is DEFINITELY exciting!!! It's a retelling, and a HISTORICAL one, at that! I have always been intrigued and fascinated by the true story of the Romanovs of Russia, and the long-standing legend (which might, after all, be true) that Princess Anastasia survived the massacre of her family. In this novel, Jessica Khoury cleverly tells the tale again, through the medium of science fiction!! I'm snapping this one up the minute it releases!!!! YAAAAAASS!!!!!

 Vortex Visions

(Air Awakens: Vortex Chronicles, Book 1)

Kindle Edition,  11835 KB

Silver Wing Press

   February 4, 2019

Fantasy, Romance, Young Adult Fiction

 

A desperate princess, a magical traveler, and a watch that binds them together with the fate of a dying world.

 Vi Solaris is the heir to an Empire she’s barely seen. Her parents sacrificed a life with her to quell a rebellion and secure peace with a political alliance. Now, three years past when her wardship should’ve ended, Vi will do anything to be reunited with her family.

The Empire is faltering beneath the burden of political infighting and a deadly plague. Yet, Vi can’t help but wonder if her inability to control her magic is the true reason her parents haven’t brought her home. Suspicion becomes reality when she unleashes powers she’s not supposed to have. 

Powers that might well cost her the throne.

As Vi fights to get her magic under control, a mysterious stranger appears from across the world. He holds the keys to unlocking her full potential, but the knowledge has an unspeakable price — some truths, once seen, cannot be ignored.

All eyes are on her and Vi must make the hardest choice of her life: Play by the rules and claim her throne. Or, break them and save the world.

If you enjoy epic fantasy stories with sorcery, slow-burn romance, and expansive worlds to adventure in, then you’ll love the Vortex Chronicles!

 

 Why I can't wait for this one!

When I first came across this cover, I was hooked!
I just HAD to find out more! The only problem
is that this is is an ebook.....
Well, I'm crossing my fingers that it
will soon be out in print, as well!! 
Meanwhile, I'll go ahead and pre-order the 
Kindle Edition, because this sounds 
MUCH TOO GOOD to pass up!!!

 The City in the Middle of the Night

Charlie Jane Anders

Hardcover, 368  pages

Tor Books

   February 12, 2019

Fantasy, Science Fiction

 

"If you control our sleep, then you can own our dreams... And from there, it's easy to control our entire lives."

Set on a planet that has fully definitive, never-changing zones of day and night, with ensuing extreme climates of endless, frigid darkness and blinding, relentless light, humankind has somehow continued apace -- though the perils outside the built cities are rife with danger as much as the streets below.

But in a world where time means only what the ruling government proclaims, and the levels of light available are artificially imposed to great consequence, lost souls and disappeared bodies are shadow-bound and savage, and as common as grains of sand. And one such pariah, sacrificed to the night, but borne up by time and a mysterious bond with an enigmatic beast, will rise to take on the entire planet--before it can crumble beneath the weight of human existence.

 Why I can't wait for this one!

I've heard about this type of planet somewhere; I think it's from a classic SF novel, possibly by SF Grand Master Isaac Asimov. But I'm not entirely sure. In spite of this, I'm interested in what this author does with this plot element. Besides, even great authors like Shakespeare borrowed themes and plots from previous writers. I think this will be a totally FASCINATING read!!

Then there's that cover!! LOVE. IT.

Another plus: Anders is being compared to no less a writer than Ursula K. LeGuin!! THAT clinches it!!
