In My Mailbox is an amazing weekly meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren that features the books we have received during the week. It's so much fun because we get to see what our fellow bloggers stumbled upon this week and add even more to our piles of books! Without further ado, this week I received the following books:
Vampire Empire: The Greyfriar - (For Review - Thank you, Prometheus Books) - Vampire predators run wild in this exciting steampunk adventure, the first in an alternate history trilogy that is already attracting attention. In 1870, monsters rise up and conquer the northern lands, As great cities are swallowed up by carnage and disease, landowners and other elite flee south to escape their blood-thirsty wrath. One hundred fifty years later, the great divide still exists; fangs on one side of the border, worried defenders on the other. This fragile equilibrium is threatened, then crumbles after a single young princess becomes almost hopelessly lost in the hostile territory.
Vampire Academy - (Bought) - St. Vladimir's Academy isn't just any boarding school—it's a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St. Vladimir's—the very place where they're most in danger. . . .
Virals - (Bought) - Megan’s twin sister Remy died in an accident nine years ago, and she’s been haunting her ever since. Knowing how crazy that sounds, Megan keeps this secret to herself and tries to lead a normal life. But when she takes a summer job at Land of Enchantment to keep an eye on her new boyfriend and his lovesick best friend, Samantha, she meets fellow employee Luke who can see Remy, too. Things get even twistier because Megan’s new friend Ari is sporting a massive crush on Luke, who seems to be developing a massive crush on Megan…making for a love triangle that’s positively possessed.

I got Vampire Empire this week too. I haven't started it yet, but I am excited to :)
ReplyDeleteI need to read Vampire Academy!!
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to Virals because I'm a huge Bones fan. Also: I really want to know what you think of Vamp Academy. I haven't read any of them yet, and wonder if it's fluffy good?
ReplyDeleteVampire Empire sounds really cool! I've only read the first 2 in the Vampire Academy series, I still have the 3rd just waiting to be read. It's an okay series I think. Can't wait to see what you think of it. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLike Anna said above, I'm interested to see what you think of Virals because I love the TV series Bones.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
Excellent mailbox this week, Melissa! I love Bones too and really need to read Virals. (I love everything else I've read by Kathy Reichs.) I agree with you about the cover for VA. I can totally see what you mean! ;)
