Callie's mother died in a drowning accident to which Callie was the only witness.  After that her father moved them away from the coast, to a place he thought would offer healing and recovery.  Callie also suffers from a debilitating lung disease and hasn't been back to the ocean since that terrible day.  Now her father has gotten a job he can't refuse... right on the Florida coast.  And mysteriously, Callie's lung disease disappears when she breathes the ocean air.  But as much as the air has healed her, it also compels her to the waters... and possibly to a fate just like her mother's.


(The Murder Complex #1)

(The Witch Hunter #1)
By: Michelle Krys
Indie is your typical popular, partying cheerleader.  Then someone dies right in front of her... and she finds out there's more to her mother owning an occult shop than just being quirky.  It turns out that the family "Bible" her mother is severely possessive of has been stolen, and a sexy stranger named Bishop shows up to tell her she must get it back.  If she doesn't, every witch on the planet will die... and she's just been informed that that includes her, because Indie is a witch too.

Other Books Coming Out This Week:








I've been such a bad blogger lately!!  Very sorry.  BEA messed me all up with my reading schedule... and with work and summer starting, I've been insane busy!  I plan to get back to my normal amount of blogging ASAP.  June is an awesome month for books.  I can't wait to read The Merciless, it sounds intense!  I also really liked Karen Finneyfrock's first book, so I'm thinking of giving Starbird a chance.  Wicked Games and My Last Kiss also look interesting.  What do you like from this list??


PS- If you haven't read my BEA recap post you can find that here!!
