Talon
by Julie Kagawa
Genre: YA / Fantasy / Romance
Synopsis
THE DRAGONS OF TALON: Once hunted nearly to extinction, they are now poised to take over the world.
THE ORDER OF ST. GEORGE: The legendary dragonslayers will stop at nothing to wipe dragons from the face of the earth.
These mortal enemies are locked in secret and deadly combat, with humanity none the wiser.
To take her rightful place in the Talon organization, young dragon Ember Hill must prove she can hide her true nature and blend in with humans. Her delight at the prospect of a summer of “normal” teen experiences is short-lived, however, once she discovers that she’s also expected to train for her destined career in Talon. But a chance meeting with a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught.
As Ember struggles to accept her future, St. George soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian is tasked with hunting her down. But when faced with Ember’s bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything the Order has ingrained in him—and what he might be willing to give up to uncover the truth about dragons.

I added this to my list back in November of 2017. I remember being so excited to get a copy. How did it end up buried in the stacks? At least it wasn’t lonely as there were many others buried there. LOL I hope to start this soon.

The Not-So Dead
by Isaiyan Morrison
The Dead Series, #1
Publication date: January 21st 2020
Genres: Fantasy, Horror, Young Adult
Synopsis
All Faye wants is another chance at being normal: hanging out with friends, playing video games, reading the latest Manga… As a wraith, her craving for a normal existence seems forever out of reach. When she makes the move to the small town of Hueman, Texas with her not-so dead nomadic family, she prays this fresh start will be the one that sticks.
Until… one of her kind is murdered by a mysterious man in a black mask.
With only Carter, an unlucky human witness, by her side, Faye must find a way to prevent the body count from rising and protect her family’s secret identity. As the man in the black mask lurks in the shadows waiting to strike again, her choice becomes a matter of life and death.
In the face of true evil, being normal is overrated.

We All Looked Up
by Tommy Wallach
Genre: YA / Contemporary / Science Fiction
Synopsis
Before the asteroid we let ourselves be defined by labels:
The athlete, the outcast, the slacker, the overachiever.
But then we all looked up and everything changed.
They said it would be here in two months. That gave us two months to leave our labels behind. Two months to become something bigger than what we’d been, something that would last even after the end.
Two months to really live.

I added this to my list back in March of 2015. The cover is fabulous and I immediately started thinking about what I would do with only two months to leave my mark.

Guardian: The Choice
Synopsis
When wildlife prodigy Sam and her crush—quirky handsome Jake—are attacked by a dragon assassin, Sam discovers her secret past. A past connected to a supernatural giant cat and a powerful faerie.
Sam is quickly pulled into a brewing battle between magical creatures. And an ancient monster forces her and Jake to choose—save their loved ones or save two worlds. Sophisticated ninja dragons, a kong-sized gorilla, and mysterious beasts offer help—but are they friends or enemies?
To survive the hardest choice she’s ever made, Sam will have to unlock the hidden power inside her. And she will have to decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for love—which could cost her everything.
Ready or not, Sam is about to find out if she has what it takes to be a guardian…

Guardian: The Quest
Synopsis
Sam and Jake must capture a magical golden dragon—or Jake dies. Can Sam can save the man she loves? And will she have to die to do it?
Everyone wants the golden dragon, including the powerful Evil One, who has been hiding for centuries and has sworn to destroy all of life. No one can be trusted. Enemies surround Sam and Jake. And Death Matches and ancient secrets test the guardians as never before.
Sam fears that whatever she does, she won’t be able to save Jake…nor stop the Evil One.
Guardian: The Quest is the exciting book two of a magic-filled fantasy four book series starring a powerful heroine, a tough brawny hero, and a slew of not-so-friendly magical beasts.
Check out the Excerpt
“Manticore,” I murmur. “He’s beautiful.”
“Do you need glasses, Sam?” Jake shakes his head.
“Well, he is,” I insist. “If you ignore that we have to fight him.”
“You’re right! Why didn’t I see that?” Jake flips a hand. “He’s kind of beautiful in a I’m going to tear you to pieces and chomp your limbs off kind of way.”
“Hello!” I say loudly. “We’re your friends!”
The manticore keeps walking and snarls at me.
“You do have a way with wild animals!” Jake winks at me.
“Shut up. We could die here you know.”
“Good point.”
The beast is a deformed Lesser which must have been away from KiraKu’s water and air too long—even longer than Biggie, given the mutation it went through. Lessers are the basis for all mythological creatures in human legends, but the ones we’ve met so far were able to talk with reason. This creature appears disturbed, with no visible vulnerabilities. Worse, I don’t want to kill it. It makes me even angrier at Kert.
Uncle Biggie calls in his singsong voice, “Be nice now, wittle kitty. All’s gonna be okay now.”
The manticore stops and snarls, wagging its head as if to shake Biggie’s soothing voice out of its ears. Several years ago I watched Uncle Biggie calm down a whole warehouse of nervous wild animals in minutes, so I’m hopeful.

Dorothy In The Land Of Monsters
Oz Revamped #1
by Garten Gevedon
Publication date: October 11th 2019
Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal,
Synopsis
Shifters, Zombies, and Vampires? Oh my!
My name is Dorothy Gale, and I think I might be dead.
When my dog Toto and I got swept up in a twister, we landed in hell. A very colorful hell. Like a rainbow dripping in blood. Now it looks as though this dreadful underworld plagued with vampires, zombies, and shifters will be the site of my eternal damnation.
They say this terrifying land called Oz isn’t hell or purgatory and escape is possible, but first I must survive the journey down the blood-soaked yellow brick road to the only place in Oz where vampires dare not tread—The City of Emeralds.
With enchanted footwear and the help of my three new friends—a friendly zombie, a massive shifter lion, and a heartless axe murderer of evil night creatures (who also happens to be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen)—Toto and I have a chance to make it to the Vampire Free Zone. When we get there, I must convince the most powerful wizard in this magical land of monsters to send us out of this radiant nightmare and back to the world of the living. They say he’s just as frightening as this monstrous land, that he detests visitors, and even the most horrifying creatures cower in his presence. But I must seek him out. And when I find him, I’ll do whatever it takes to make him send me home.

Shutter
by Courtney Alameda
Genre: Horror / YA
My Review
I remember the first time I came across this book and thought how deliciously creepy the cover was. Of course, I had to see what it was all about. Lucky enough to have won a copy, I wish I could remember who from so I could thank them for a copy of this very creepy book.
I’m all for a tough female protagonist and Micheline fills those shoes so well. And I’d never come across a tetrachromat before. She can see the auras of ghost. As a descendant of Van Helsing, she was born to hunt monsters and ghosts. Her special camera is one of most valuable tools. When a hunt goes terribly wrong, her team is cursed by a soulchain. Breaking the rules, they go off on their own to break the curse before they’re all consumed by it. They have seven days to complete their mission. Good thing they work together like a well oiled machine.
Right from the opening scene I was captured by this story. It had a very eerie vibe and some great characters. I couldn’t help but pull for them as they sought a cure from the curse. There was some edge of your seat action, some deadly creatures and nasty ghosts, and some fun dialogue to break up the suspense.
There’s a bit of romance but it wasn’t the main focus. It just sprinkled a little something nice into what is tagged a horror story. And while the book didn’t necessarily scare me, that takes a lot as I’ve read and watched horror since I was a wee girl, my imagination created some vivid visuals that made for an exciting, eerie experience.

Synopsis
Micheline Helsing is a tetrachromat—a girl who sees the auras of the undead in a prismatic spectrum. As one of the last descendants of the Van Helsing lineage, she has trained since childhood to destroy monsters both corporeal and spiritual: the corporeal undead go down by the bullet, the spiritual undead by the lens. With an analog SLR camera as her best weapon, Micheline exorcises ghosts by capturing their spiritual energy on film. She’s aided by her crew: Oliver, a techno-whiz and the boy who developed her camera’s technology; Jude, who can predict death; and Ryder, the boy Micheline has known and loved forever.
When a routine ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected with a curse known as a soulchain.
As the ghostly chains spread through their bodies, Micheline learns that if she doesn’t exorcise her entity in seven days or less, she and her friends will die. Now pursued as a renegade agent by her monster-hunting father, Leonard Helsing, she must track and destroy an entity more powerful than anything she’s faced before . . . or die trying.
Lock, stock, and lens, she’s in for one hell of a week.
