Dream Angel (Angel #1)

On my eighteen birthday, despite my protest, my mother, Sara, and I move to Tangi, a small town, off the grid, in the deep South of Louisiana. I'd pretty much resigned myself to living out of a suitcase in a cheap hotel, working at some greasy hamburger joint while Sara snags her next boyfriend. I don't worry much about her short-lived flings. Sara's boyfriends usually end up dead. But once I meet the mysterious and alluring Aidan Bane, my life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Aidan has managed to keep his Druid identity a secret in the small community he lives in and from me, but now that I've stumbled upon buried secrets, nobody is safe, especially me, the person Aidan's been clandestinely protecting. As our lives spiral out of control, Aidan and I find ourselves teetering precariously on the edge of a blade, between desire and danger. Darkly romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Dream Angel captures the struggle between defying our hearts and quenching our desires. This is a heart-wrenching tale of ancient evil, betrayal, unprecedented loss, sweltering sensuality, suspense, romance, and unfathomable consequences.**

World War Z

Brooks, the author of the determinedly straight-faced parody The Zombie Survival Guide (2003), returns in all seriousness to the zombie theme for his second outing, a future history in the style of Theodore Judson’s Fitzpatrick’s War . Brooks tells the story of the world’s desperate battle against the zombie threat with a series of first-person accounts “as told to the author” by various characters around the world. A Chinese doctor encounters one of the earliest zombie cases at a time when the Chinese government is ruthlessly suppressing any information about the outbreak that will soon spread across the globe. The tale then follows the outbreak via testimony of smugglers, intelligence officials, military personnel and many others who struggle to defeat the zombie menace. Despite its implausible premise and choppy delivery, the novel is surprisingly hard to put down. The subtle, and not so subtle, jabs at various contemporary politicians and policies are an added bonus.
