Laydown Lowdown

It's the last Tuesday in March!!  Easter (and hopefully Spring weather) is just around the corner.  There are enough new releases today to fill any Easter Basket.

Romance is especially blooming this week with many new releases in the genre. One of the highlights this week is the eleventh and latest "Black Dagger Brotherhood" novel, "Lover at Last" by J.R. Ward.  I am certain my one friend is hopping up and down in excitement over this.  Other new releases in romance today are "The Emperor's New Clothes," by Victoria Alexander, "Kiss of Temptation," by Sandra Hill, "Vampires Gone Wild," a compilation headlined by Kerrelyn Sparks, and "Kitty Rocks the House," by Carrie Vaughn.

Hop on over to Mystery and you'll uncover "The Bone Man," by Wolf Haas, "The Golden Egg," by Donna Leon (that's the best part of the egg hunt, right?), and "The Money Kill," by Katia Lief.

Shake your tail over to Science Fiction Fantasy for "The Age Atomic," by Adam Christopher, "Black Feathers," by Joseph D'Lacey, "Hellhole Awakening," by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, and "Angelopolis," by Danielle Trussoni.

If you're looking for a treat bigger than a chocolate bunny, "Deadlocked," the penultimate "Sookie Stackhouse," novel by Charlaine Harris is released in paperback today and I bet it contains a preview of the final novel "Dead Ever After," which is due out May 7th.  The "Sookie Stackhouse," series is a delightful blend of romance, mystery and fantasy so it deserves a paragraph all its own here.

Twitch your little nose and get on over to the Young Adult section for "Period 8," by Chris Crutcher, "Impostor," by Jill Hathaway, "Going Vintage," by Lindsey Leavitt, and "If You Find Me," by Emily Mudoch.
