In My Mailbox 2/13

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:

FOR REVIEW

The Liar Society by Lisa & Laura Roecker

Kate Lowry didn't think dead best friends could send e-mails. But when she gets an e-mail from Grace, she’s not so sure.

Kate,

I'm here…sort of. Find Cameron. He knows. I shouldn't be writing. Don't tell. They'll hurt you.

FOR REVIEW

Griffin Rising by Darby Karchut

(ARC) - (Thank you, Darby)

For centuries, rumors have abounded of a lowly caste of supernatural beings known as the Terrae Angeli. Armed with the power to control Earth, Fire, Wind and Water, these warriors secretly serve as guardians for mortals in danger.

But for one young angel-in-training, Griffin, life is hell as a cruel master makes his apprenticeship a nightmare. On the verge of failing, a new mentor, Basil, enters his life and changes it forever. It is their father-and-son relationship, sometimes turbulent, often hilarious, always affectionate, that sings through the story like a pure note.

EARNED FROM RANDOMBUZZERS

The Nightmarys by Dan Poblocki

Timothy July is having nightmares. About his brother, who is in a coma after being wounded in Iraq; about his best friend, Stuart, who is behaving like a jerk; about the old biology specimens in jars lining the walls of his classroom; and about Abigail, the new girl who seems to be a magnet for trouble. Or perhaps she is the cause.

Suddenly Timothy’s nightmares are coming true. His brother, his face decaying, approaches Timothy on the street. Stuart ends up in the hospital, terrified that monsters are stalking him. And the specimen jars are tormenting not only Timothy but his teacher as well.

I'm pretty pleased with my week in books! Three is a good number for me, and I'm loving the variety...pretty rad, eh? As a quick aside, please take note of this post, in which I'm desperately seeking about 10 weeks worth of guest bloggers (because you're all dang awesome), and I'll be MIA for awhile. Anyhoo...leave me a link to your mailboxes, and I'll be sure to check them out!
