Upcoming Releases

Goodreads has listed their July list of Early Reviewers books for this month. Among the books to be go on sale later this year are these few that I'd like to win a copy of.

Envy by Gregg Olsen (Sterling Publishing)
Description: "Dark and addictive, ENVY delivers a frightening look at online anonymity... with tragic consequences." -Jordan Dane, author of IN THE ARMS OF STONE ANGELS

"Olsen will have you on the edge of your seat." -Lee Child

One minute Katelyn's a depressed teen with a loser life. The next, she's lying on a stainless steel slab, eyes glassy, skin frosted over, and very, very dead. Was it suicide? Murder? Who's to blame? Twins Kayley and Taylor Ryan stumble upon the dark truth. Inspired by a ripped-from-the-headlines cyberbullying crime, ENVY is the gritty first volume in EMPTY COFFIN, a new bone-chilling series that takes you to the edge—and pushes you right over.

Harbor by John Ajvide Lindqvist (St. Martin's Press)
Description: “John Ajvide Lindqvist is rightly seen as one of the most exciting writers working in the horror genre at the moment – a rival, indeed, to Stephen King.” —TheScotsman.com

From the author of the international and New York Times bestseller Let the Right One In (Let Me In) comes this stunning and terrifying book which begins when a man's six-year-old daughter vanishes.One ordinary winter afternoon on a snowy island, Anders and Cecilia take their six-year-old daughter Maja across the ice to visit the lighthouse in the middle of the frozen channel. While the couple explore the lighthouse, Maja disappears — either into thin air or under thin ice — leaving not even a footprint in the snow. Two years later, alone and more or less permanently drunk, Anders returns to the island to regroup. He slowly realises that people are not telling him all they know; even his own mother, it seems, is keeping secrets. What is happening in Domaro, and what power does the sea have over the town's inhabitants?
As he did with Let the Right One In and Handling the Undead, John Ajvide Lindqvist serves up a blockbuster cocktail of suspense in a narrative that barely pauses for breath.

If Jack's In Love, by Stephen Wetta (Putnam Books)
Description: A Crime in the Neighborhood, told with the deadpan humor of Nick Hornby-a wonderful novel about a boy genius whose brother may, or may not, be a murderer.

It's 1967. Jack Witcher is a twelve-year-old boy genius living in a Virginia suburb at an address the entire neighborhood avoids. Jack's father has lost his job-again-and he's starting fights. Jack's mother, sweet but painfully ugly, works as a cashier at a local market. Jack's older brother is a long-haired, pot-smoking hippie.

If all of that isn't bad enough, Jack's brother suddenly becomes the main suspect in the disappearance of the town's golden boy. And to make matters even worse, Jack is in love with the missing boy's sister, Myra. Mr. Gladstein, the town jeweler and solitary Jew, befriends Jack; together, they scheme to win Jack Myra's love. But to do that, Jack must overcome the prejudices, both the town's and his own, about himself and his family.
