DEAD EVER AFTER
2013 NY: Penguin
THE FINAL SOOKIE STACKHOUSE NOVEL!
There are secrets in the town of Bon Temps, ones that threaten those closest to Sookie-and could destroy her heart.... Sookie
Stackhouse finds it easy to turn down the request of former barmaid
Arlene when she wants her job back at Merlotte's. After all, Arlene
tried to have Sookie killed. But her relationship with Eric Northman is
not so clearcut. He and his vampires are keeping their distance...and a
cold silence. And when Sookie learns the reason why, she is
devastated. Then
a shocking murder rocks Bon Temps, and Sookie is arrested for the
crime. But the evidence against Sookie is weak, and she makes bail.
Investigating the killing, she'll learn that what passes for truth in
Bon Temps is only a convenient lie. What passes for justice is more
spilled blood. And what passes for love is never enough... Click to Order |

N0S4A2

is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of

McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a

Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his
1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car,
he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads
that transport them to an astonishing - and terrifying - playground of
amusements he calls "Christmasland." Then,
one day, Vic goes looking for trouble-and finds Manx. That was a
lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx's unmitigated
evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never
stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He's on the road again and he's
picked up a new passenger: Vic's own son. Click to Order |
Laurell K. Hamilton 
AFFLICTION
2013 NY: Penguin
Some zombies are raised. Others must be put down. Just ask Anita Blake.
Before now, she would have considered them merely off-putting, never
dangerous. Before now, she had never heard of any of them causing human
beings to perish in agony. But that's all changed.
Micah's
estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange
ailment that has his doctors whispering about "zombie disease."
Anita makes her living off of zombies-but these aren't the kind she
knows so well. These creatures hunt in daylight, and are as fast and
strong as vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them. And
round and round it goes...
Where will it stop? Even Anita Blake doesn't know.

Alafair Burke 
IF YOU WERE HERE
2013 NY: Harper
Burke's
outstanding stand-alone suspense novel, her second after 2011's Long
Gone, stars appealing (if impulsive) McKenna Jordan, a New York City
journalist whose stint covering the DA's office ended in a maelstrom of
media indignation when she falsely accused a cop of planting a gun.
McKenna's investigation into the story of an unidentified woman who
singlehandedly pulled a teenager from the subway tracks takes an
unexpected turn.
Grainy video footage of the incident reveals
that the heroic woman uncannily resembles McKenna's old friend Susan
Hauptmann, a gregarious West Point grad whose mysterious disappearance
10 years earlier has haunted McKenna. The stakes rise as McKenna moves
from chasing the story du jour to chasing a long-buried
truth-revisiting the character of the woman she thought she knew as well
as the controversial case that discredited her.
Burke's
accuracy in legal and judicial technicalities is impressive although
most readers will find simpler pleasures in her sharp writing,
well-constructed plot, and dimensional characters.
