  • Ancillary Mercy

    Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie

    Author: Ann Leckie
    Released: October 6, 2015 by Orbit
    Genre:
    Series: Imperial Radch #3

    The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke award-winning Ancillary Justice.

    For a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Atheok Station’s slums turns up someone who shouldn’t exist – someone who might be an ancillary from a ship that’s been hiding beyond the empire’s reach for three thousand years. Meanwhile, a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq’s enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai – ruler of an empire at war with itself.

    Anaander is heavily armed and extremely unhappy with Breq. She could take her ship and crew and flee, but that would leave everyone at Athoek in terrible danger. Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren’t good, but that’s never stopped her before.

    Carrie saysThe conclusion to the Ancillary Justice series, which has basically won every SFF literary award humanly possible. Very excited to see how the story ends.

  • Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits

    Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits by Jason Pargin

    Author: Jason Pargin
    Released: October 6, 2015 by Thomas Dunne Books
    Genre: ,

    In a prosperous yet gruesomely violent near-future, superhero vigilantes battle thugs whose heads are full of supervillain fantasies. The peace is kept by a team of smooth, well-dressed negotiators called The Men in Fancy Suits. Meanwhile a young girl is caught in the middle, and thinks the whole thing is ridiculous.

    Zoey, a recent college graduate with a worthless degree, makes a reluctant trip into the city after hearing that her estranged con artist father had died in a mysterious yet spectacular way. There she finds that her scumbag dad had actually, in the final years of his life, put his amazing talent for hustling to good use: He was one of the founding members of the Fancy Suits, and died in the course of his duties.

    Zoey is quickly entangled in the city’s surreal mob war when she is taken hostage by a particularly crazy villain who imagines himself to be a Dr. Doom-level mastermind. The villain is demanding information about Zoe’s father when she is rescued by The Fancy Suits. She reluctantly joins their cause and help finish what her old man started, tapping into her innate talent for bullshit that she inherited from her hated father. And along the way, she might just have to learn how to trust people again.

    Amanda saysDavid Wong writes my favorite horror/dark comedy series and I’m excited for his new series. Also, isn’t the cover awesome?!

  • Irresistibly Yours

    Irresistibly Yours by Lauren Layne

    Author: Lauren Layne
    Released: October 6, 2015 by Loveswept
    Genre: ,
    Series: Oxford #1

    Meet the men of Oxford magazine! In the first captivating spin-off of Lauren Layne’s Sex, Love & Stiletto series, a not-so-friendly battle of the sexes turns into a scorching office romance.

    Hotshot sports editor Cole Sharpe has been freelancing for Oxford for years, so when he hears about a staff position opening up, he figures he’s got the inside track. Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes—and write circles around them, too. Cole usually likes his women flirty and curvy, but he takes a special interest in his skinny, sassy rival, if only to keep an eye on her. And soon, he can’t take his eyes off her.

    Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys. Since she’s learned that wanting more usually leads to disappointment, Penelope’s resigned to sitting on the sidelines when it comes to love. So why does Cole make her want to get back in the game? The man is as arrogant as he is handsome. He probably sees her as nothing more than a barrier to his dream job. But when an unexpected kiss turns into a night of irresistible passion, Penelope has to figure out whether they’re just fooling around—or starting something real.

    Amanda saysA workplace battle of the sexes romance? Oh yeah. And ever since I read Frisk Me, I’m desperate for more of Layne’s awesome dialogue.

    Series: Madame X #1

    Madame X invites you to test the limits of control in this provocative new
    novel from New York Times bestselling author Jasinda Wilder.

    My name is Madame X.
    I’m the best at what I do.
    And you’d do well to follow my rules…

    Hired to transform the uncultured, inept sons of the wealthy and powerful into decisive, confident men, Madame X is a master of the art of control. With a single glance she can cut you down to nothing, or make you feel like a king.

    But there is only one man who can claim her body—and her soul.

    Undone time and again by his exquisite dominance, X craves and fears his desire in equal measure. And while she longs for a different path, X has never known anything or anyone else—until now…

    Amanda saysI’ve already read this one and wow. It’s unlike anything I’ve read recently and I nearly cried when I saw the next book isn’t due out until March 2016.

    Genre: , , ,
    Series: The Devil's West #1

    A heroic fantasy by an award-winning author about a young woman who is trained in the art of the sinister hand of magic, but at what price?

    Isobelle, upon her sixteenth birthday, makes the choice to work for the devil in his territory west of the Mississippi. But this is not the devil you know. This is a being who deals fairly with immense—but not unlimited—power, who offers opportunities to people who want to make a deal, and they always get what they deserve. But his land is a wild west that needs a human touch, and that’s where Izzy comes in. Inadvertently trained by him to see the clues in and manipulations of human desire, Izzy is raised to be his left hand and travel circuit through the territory. As we all know, where there is magic there is chaos…and death.

    Carrie saysBeautifully written fantasy western. I got to read an ARC and I adored it.

    Genre: , ,

    Award-nominated writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Pretty Deadly, Captain Marvel) and Valentine De Landro (X-Factor) team up to bring you the premiere volume of Bitch Planet, a deliciously vicious riff on women-in-prison sci-fi exploitation. In a future just a few years down the road in the wrong direction, a woman’s failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords will result in exile to the meanest penal planet in the galaxy. When the newest crop of fresh femmes arrive, can they work together to stay alive or will hidden agendas, crooked guards, and the deadliest sport on (or off!) Earth take them to their maker?

  • Radiance

    Radiance by Catherynne Valente

    Author: Catherynne Valente
    Released: October 20, 2015 by Tor Books
    Genre:

    Radiance is a decopunk pulp SF alt-history space opera mystery set in a Hollywood—and solar system—very different from our own, from the phenomenal talent behind the New York Times bestselling The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making.

    Severin Unck’s father is a famous director of Gothic romances in an alternate 1986 in which talking movies are still a daring innovation due to the patent-hoarding Edison family. Rebelling against her father’s films of passion, intrigue, and spirits from beyond, Severin starts making documentaries, traveling through space and investigating the levitator cults of Neptune and the lawless saloons of Mars. For this is not our solar system, but one drawn from classic science fiction in which all the planets are inhabited and we travel through space on beautiful rockets. Severin is a realist in a fantastic universe.

    But her latest film, which investigates the disappearance of a diving colony on a watery Venus populated by island-sized alien creatures, will be her last. Though her crew limps home to earth and her story is preserved by the colony’s last survivor, Severin will never return.

    Aesthetically recalling A Trip to the Moon and House of Leaves, and told using techniques from reality TV, classic film, gossip magazines, and meta-fictional narrative, Radiance is a solar system-spanning story of love, exploration, family, loss, quantum physics, and silent film.

    Amanda saysIf you haven’t read anything by Valente, you need to rectify that problem immediately. Her writing is beauitful and so detailed. Her books just suck you right in and I’m looking forward to this one.

  • Seduction Game

    Seduction Game by Pamela Clare

    Author: Pamela Clare
    Released: October 20, 2015 by InterMix
    Genre: ,
    Series: I-Team #7

    The acclaimed author of Striking Distance returns with more danger, intrigue, and I-Team action…

    CIA officer Nick Andris wants revenge. His last mission failed after a Georgian arms smuggler killed his lover. He’s been tailing a woman for three weeks hoping she will lead him to his target. But there’s a problem with the intel. Holly Elise Bradshaw is nothing more than an entertainment writer with a love for sex and designer clothes. Clearly someone at Langley made a mistake . . .

    When Holly finds herself in trouble, the only weapons at her disposal are her brains and her body. But they won’t be enough to handle the man who’s following her. He’s going to turn her world upside-down.

    Elyse saysPamela Clare is one of my favorite romantic suspense writers. Also the book pairs a CIA operative with an entertainment writer which sounds like lots of fun.

After her father disappears on a diplomatic mission, she continues their studies of languages, high-level mathematics, and complex puzzles and codes, hoping to make him proud.

    When Sam is asked to join the famed women’s spy group La Dame Blanche she’s torn—this could be the adventure she’s dreamed of, but how can she abandon her mother, who has already lost a husband to the war? But when her handlers reveal shocking news, Sam realizes there’s no way she can refuse the exciting and dangerous opportunity.

    Her acceptance leads her straight into the heart of enemy territory on a mission to extract the most valuable British spy embedded in Germany, known to the members of LDB only as Velvet. Deep undercover within the court of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Samantha must navigate the labyrinthine palace and its many glamorous—and secretive—residents to complete her assignment. To make matters worse she finds herself forming a forbidden attraction to the enemy-a dangerously handsome German guard. In a place where personal politics are treacherously entangled in wartime policy, can Samantha discover the truth and find Velvet before it’s too late…for them both?

    From author Teri Brown comes the thrilling story of one girl’s journey into a deadly world of spycraft and betrayal—with unforgettable consequences.

    Amanda saysA young girl joins a spy group and goes undercover in a historical setting. Uh…GIMME.

    Genre: ,
    Series: The Wicked Quills of London #2

    Successful playwright Maggie Delamere has no interest in the flirtations of noblemen like Cameron, Viscount Marwood. She once paid dearly for a moment of weakness . . . and vows to rebuff the wildly persistent—and irritatingly handsome—scoundrel at every turn. But when pressure to deliver a new play hampers her creativity, an invitation to use his country estate as a writer’s retreat is too tempting to resist…

    For years, Cam has admired Maggie’s brilliant work, and he can’t pass up the opportunity to discover if the beautiful, mysterious playwright is as passionate and clever as the words that flow from her quill. He’s never offered a lady his bed without being in it, but if it means loosening Maggie’s pen—and her inhibitions—he’ll do exactly that.

    But soon Cam’s plans for seduction become a fight for Maggie’s heart. He’s more than the scandalous, carefree rake society believes him to be . . . and she’s the only woman who has ever noticed.

    Sarah saysI’m so happy the first two are being released so close together. SO HAPPY YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

    Carrie saysAlso seconding Sarah’s Eva Leigh SQUEEE!

    Outlander. Coloring. Book.

    I need it.

  2. Emily says:

    I’m excited for all these HRs, as well as the new Gaelen Foley out in a couple weeks.

  3. Mochabean says:

    Can’t WAIT for Ancillary Mercy. Ancillary Justice, Lock In and Spin are three recent science fiction books I routinely recommend to folks who don’t think they will like science fiction. Try them!

  4. Karenmc says:

    Kleypas, Heath?! I’m so there.

  5. kitkat9000 says:

    I have a serious love/hate relationship with these posts. Ugh. My insurmountable TBR just grew again. And now I’m going to add to someone else’s: Beneath a Waning Moon, the newest collaboration between Grace Draven and Elizabeth Hunter released today as well. You’re welcome.

  6. ANCILLARY MERCY. GET IN MY KOBO ACCOUNT, YO. 😀

    Also very anxious to snap up She Walks in Shadows and Radiance, and the second of the Eva Leighs! (I’ve already bought the first.)

  7. Susan says:

    Oooh, some interesting books here, a number of which I hadn’t heard about before. Thanks for posting them. I’ve been anxiously awaiting the new Leckie book, but now I’m thinking that I’d better hurry up and re-read the two previous ones first. And an Outlander coloring book? Count me in.

  8. DonnaMarie says:

    I’ve been doing the new Pamela Clare happy dance for about a week now. A little ungraceful and a bit like the I gotta pee dance, but still, I’m dancing.

  9. Big K says:

    Ilona Andrews’ new book, “White Hot,” the second book in the Hidden Legacy series, is coming out Oct. 27th, according to the author’s website. The first one was solid, and this author’s series start slow and get stronger as they progress. I’m looking forward to reading it.
    Thanks for the list of upcoming books!

  10. Phoebe says:

    Lisa Kleypas is my favorite romance author….but I was just disappointed by the latest Travis book. For the first time in my life I may not auto-buy the new Kleypas historical. It’ll probably be $12.99, too.

    GoodReads just notified me that there’s a new Molly O’Keefe! OK, it says M. O’Keefe on the cover, but Goodreads assures me it’s M for Molly. Ok, it appears to be first person, which is not my fav, but it’s MOLLY O’KEEFE!!

    And another installment of Nalini Singh’s rock romance series. The weather here has turned cold, but I have lots of reasons to stay warm and cozy inside.

    @BigK…. The Andrews has been postponed. It won’t be out until next year sometime. They blogged about it a few months back.

    @DonnaMarie I was lucky enough to read an ARC of Molly O’Keefe’s Everything I Left Unsaid and it is so, so good. Dark, twisty, erotic. But be warned, it ends on a cliffhanger, and Book 2 comes out in November.

    Phoebe,

    I’m reading the latest Kleypas Travis book and it’s just. . . bad. There’s the hero who insists that he knows better than the heroine does that they should have a relationship, and the overly cozy couples from previous books who seem to have lost their personalities and become generic cutely bickering/constantly sexing couples, and the hero’s overly cute hobby of taking pictures of stray dogs to help them be adopted, which is all bad enough, but the book starts with a million dollar wedding, and I just can’t. The heroine’s job is to help people spend a huge amount of money on a single day, and I can’t go from the news and Syrian refugees and school shootings and global warming to these people, because I just don’t like them at all, or respect them, or root for them or care about them. It’s half her, and it’s half me, but I completely don’t like the book.

    ANCILLARY MERCY! So excited for that. I love sci-fi but am rarely able to find the exact flavor (think Ursula Le Guin) I love – this trilogy has so far really hit the spot for me.

    And thank you for mentioning BITCH PLANET, which is so relevant to all of my interests I almost can’t believe it exists!

    If y’all liked Ancillary Mercy, you might like City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett.

    It has a brown/black woman spy heroine and is another take on colonial fantasy. Highly recommend it.

  17. Ooh yeah, City of Stairs is already on my TBR list. 😀

    I’m excited about Lisa Kleypas, particularly writing historicals!

    Second I’m excited about a Christmas anthology featuring Carla Kelly!

    Rock Redemption by Nalini Singh comes out Oct 6!!! I *might* take a mental health day off work for Tuesday. 😉

    Picked up “Silver on the Road” yesterday, and it is marvelous so far!

  21. I saw Jim Hines posting about Silver on the Road, yeah, and I’m eyeing that one now myself!
