First Grave On The Right - Darynda Jones

Publisher: UK - Piatkus

Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light.” But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life…and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

I LOVE The Works. I've wanted this book for ages - even more so since I read reviews of it from some of my favourite bloggers so imagine how excited I was when I spotted in The Works last Sunday for the low, low price of £1.99 or 2 for £3! Can't wait to start this series now!

Feast of Fools (Morganville Vampires 4) - Rachel Caine

Publisher: UK - Allison & Busby

In the town of Morganville, vampires and humans live in relative peace. Student Claire Danvers has never been convinced, though especially with the arrival of Mr. Bishop, an ancient, old-school vampire who cares nothing about harmony. What he wants from the town's living and its dead is unthinkably sinister. It's only at a formal ball, attended by vampires and their human dates, that Claire realizes the elaborately evil trap he's set for Morganville.

 

This is the other book I got at The Works - I haven't read any of the Morganville books but I now own the first four so I really hope I will like them! Pretty sure I will though as Jess at Book Passion for Life has been raving about them recently!

 

The Last Four Things - Paul Hoffman

Publisher: UK - Penguin

Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell. These are the Last Four Things. Now there are Five. Meet Thomas Cale. Returning to the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, Thomas Cale is told by the Lord Militant that the destruction of mankind is necessary; the only way to undo God's greatest mistake. Cale seemingly accepts his role in the ending of the world: fate has painted him as the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Death. Absolute power is within his grasp, the terrifying zeal and military might of the Redeemers a weapon for him to handle as simply as he once used a knife. But perhaps not even the grim power that the Redeemers hold over Cale is enough - the boy who turns from love to poisonous hatred in a heartbeat, the boy who switches between kindness and sheer violence in the blink of an eye. The annihilation that the Redeemers seek may well be in Cale's hands - but his soul is far stranger than they could ever know.

 

I actually recieved this unasked from Penguin for review. Biazzarely I have read the first book in the seriers a couple of years ago but don't remember much about it...but I haven't read any fantasy for a while so this could break my fantasy fast! :)
