Upcoming Releases - August 30 - September 5 (Part 1)

I haven't done this feature in several weeks as I've been away on holidays with limited computer access, so I thought it was time to get back into the swing of things and see what books being released this week I would love to get my hands on.  There are so many great books that I actually didn't get past August 31st for this post, so I decided to separate it into two separate posts for this week.  Take a look:

Halo (Book 1)
by Alexandra Ardonetto
Release Date: August 31, 2010

Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenaged girl who is the least experienced of the trio.  But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone - especially herself - from the Dark Forces.
Is love a great enough power against evil?


Paranormalcy
by Kiersten White
Release Date: August 31, 2010

But Evie's about to realize she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
