Tandem: A Novel
From Publishers Weekly Bateman (Thirsty) revisits her vampire venue of Abbey Hills, Mo. Months after vampire-related killings, the estate of one of the victims, Markus Chisom, is being settled by an auction house owned by the family of Lauryn McBride. Lauryn is doing the work; her father, her only close relation, is declining from Alzheimer's. Chisom is tied to a really old New Orleans family, and a letter from Lauryn brings Amede Dastillion to town, ostensibly for family heirlooms but really in search of a family member. Both women confront pain in their histories even as ritual killings resume in the town. This sequel is less successful than its imaginative predecessor. The villains are less well drawn; Lauryn's former love, Billy, a preacher's kid become missionary, is a bit of a holy roller in an evangelical Christian novel that deals logically with the theme of redemption without getting preachy about it. Still, this is a well-plotted novel that offers a plausible Christian take on the ubiquitous vampire theme. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Pretty Girls Dancing
From the Publisher First position. Second position. Plié. Darkness. With every pirouette, we come closer to the killer. In Kylie Brant’s taut thriller Pretty Girls Dancing , Whitney DeVries is dancing for her life, and yet I couldn’t help but mime the familiar ballet positions. That’s the power of good writing. But these aren’t the ballet classes of my youth—in this class, the girls don’t live to see their recital. Whitney DeVries isn’t the first girl forced to don black ballet slippers and a pink skirt for her would-be killer. While Kelsey Willard’s body was never found, her disappearance seven years ago exposes her family’s still unhealed wounds. It’s up to Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent Mark Foster to dig deeper to find the truth, even as the neighbors hesitate to reveal much and the Willards keep changing their story. With each pointed step, we see more secrets hiding under the surface. And with every musical beat, I anxiously read as the mystery unraveled like the ribbons on those ballet shoes. Pretty Girls Dancing kept me engrossed until the very end. - Jessica Tribble, Editor About the Author Kylie Brant is the author of nearly forty novels and is a three-time RITA Award nominee, a four-time RT Award finalist, a two-time Daphne du Maurier Award winner, and a 2008 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award winner (as well as a two-time nominee).

From the Back Cover Twenty something Kate Davis can't seem to get this grieving-widow thing down. She's supposed to put on a brave face and get on with her life, right? Instead she's camped out on her living-room floor, unwashed, unkempt, and unable to sleep--because her husband, Kevin, keeps talking to her. Is she losing her mind?

There she meets Jack, the warmhearted, unconventional pastor of a ramshackle church, and at last the voice subsides. But when she stumbles upon a secret Kevin was keeping, Kate's fragile hold on the present threatens to implode under the weight of the past ... and Kevin begins to shout. Will the voice ever stop?

Immanuel's Veins
From Publishers Weekly Dekker jumps on the vampire bloodwagon with an 18th century novel set in the Carpathian Mountains. When two warriors are charged by Catherine the Great of Russia to guard two young women at risk of harm, Toma, the narrator and protagonist, must choose between his duty and honor and the passion he feels for one of the two, the beautiful Lucine. When she falls into the hands of a group of descendants of Nephilim—offspring of the angels who bred with humans, as mentioned in Genesis—Toma must rescue her by means of blood and a love he's never known but must come to understand first himself: the blood of Immanuel's veins. Dekker takes Christian fiction to the edge of darkness in a way that makes redemption and the ancient practices of the church—holy communion, confession of belief in Christ, baptism—bright and believable by contrast. This is classic Dekker clothed in Eastern European garb, passionate and shocking. Pacing is fast as a hummingbird, villains induce cardiac arrhythmias, and the novel must be read with blood pressure pills. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

The Fairest Beauty (Fairy Tale Romance Series)
From Booklist This well-crafted retelling of the Snow White story leaves out magic and potions, substituting instead, human emotions, faults and strengths, and romance in the post-medieval setting. Sophie, raised as a scullery maid in the residence of a power-hungry duchess, is rescued by Gabe, the brother of the man to whom she unknowingly was betrothed as an infant. Dickerson develops Sophie and Gabe carefully, skillfully showing how their relationship moves from shyness and distrust to guilt over their increasing devotion and the eventual release of Sophie from the early betrothal to Gabe’s brother. Especially imaginative is the rendering of the group familiarly known as the Seven Dwarfs, although here they are known as the Seven, and each has his own physical or intellectual challenge as well as skill. Solid storytelling, cleverly woven references to the folktale, and historical detail combine in a novel that is a likely popular choice for girls in search of gentle romance. Grades 5-8. --Francisca Goldsmith About the Author Melanie Dickerson is a New York Times bestselling author and two-time Christy Award winner.

For Time & Eternity (Sister Wife)
From the Author I have always said that God allowed me to write my 5 previous novels so that I would have the opportunity to write this book. No matter where my career goes, I know this will always be my most important novel. It was the most difficult, heart-wrenching, spiritally exhausting effort. There were times I felt each and every word had to be dragged through a battlefield to make its way onto the page.  But, at the end, I've never felt more immediately satisfied. I know God is pleased with this story and the truth it represents.Lately, I've taken some hits in the Reviews--a lot of 1- and 2-star reviews, largely from LDS readers. Dispiriting at first, but then peace. I never intended For Time and Eternity to be a vehicle to "convert" Mormons. I didn't want to take on the Mormon church, or the institution of polygamy--I just wanted to tell a story, accurate in both history and theology. If it is enjoyed only on that level, I've accomplished what every author wants to accomplish. Christian authors, though do have a bit of a higher responsibility. For that, I go to Galatians 1:10 -- Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant. (NLT) That's the verse I cling to with every angry review and email. What a honor it is to be a servant of the Lord, and I'm so grateful to my readers who allow me to serve Him!

Furious (Faith McMann Trilogy Book 1)
From Booklist Faith McMann, heroine of this gripping novel, is a Sacramento schoolteacher, wife, and mother who comes home just in time to witness her husband’s throat getting cut and her two children hauled away. The attempt on her life is botched—the killers were in a hurry—and as she recovers, she’s convinced the police are brushing her off. So she whacks a detective with his computer keyboard and gets sentenced to anger management sessions. If this were a cookie-cutter thriller, the male hero would be tracking the killers with an automatic weapon and maybe a major babe beside him. But our hero is smarter than that, and her revenge is a product of relationships, not bullets. In classes, she meets other victims as angry as she is, and, together, in fine scenes of action and suspense, they seek explanations and vengeance as well as the children’s rescue, which takes them into a slimy world of human trafficking. Learn here about “lot lizards” and “kiddie strolls” on the way to a wild finale. Suspenseful and smart, in equal measure. —Don Crinklaw Review "Searing...Readers with strong stomachs will eagerly await the next installment." - Publishers Weekly About the Author New York Times , USA Today , and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Theresa Ragan, mother of four, lives with her husband in Sacramento, California.
