Upcoming Releases - September 20 - 26

I didn't get to do this one yet again last week as I was too busy organizing Blogmania and BlogFest as well as working long hours, so Tuesday kind of rolled on right by and on Wednesday I realized that I had completely forgotten about posting it.  Oh well!  Such is life. 

I had also been on a library ban for the past few months as I really need to reduce my TBR pile, yet I had no choice but to go there today to pick up a DVD I needed for my class.  Unfortunately, the DVD section is right by the "New Releases" section and while I really thought I had the willpower to avoid it, once I was inside, I was like a kid in a candy store.  While I adore librarians, they are evil for putting the new releases in such tempting spots!!! (lol)   At least I emerged with only one DVD and four books, the others I put back on the shelf with a great show of determination and regret.  Anyone else have this problem?

From shipwrecks to castle dungeons, from betrothals to hidden conspiracies, Addy finds herself in a world where she's not the only one with a dangerous secret.  When she discovers the truth, Addy must take matters into her own hands.  The stakes?  Her chance at true love...and the life she's meant to live.

Mackie would give anything to live among us, to practice on his bass or to spend time with his crush, Tate.  But when Tate's baby sister goes missing, Mackie is drawn irrevocably into the underworld of Gentry, known as Mayhem. He must face the dark creatures of the Slag Heaps and find his rightful place, in our world, or theirs.
