BOOK HAUL 05/08/12

LOOKIE AT WHAT WAS IN MY MAILBOX!

I was extremely excited to find these 5 wonderful books in my mailbox this week. A quick run-down first, then I'll show each book separately and give a synopsis for each. Ok, we have: Bag of Bones by Stephen King, Lisey's Story by Stephen King, Bound by Night by Amanda Ashley, Bound by Blood by Amanda Ashley, and Succulent Prey by Wrath James White.

BAG OF BONES: STEPHEN KING

SYNOPSIS: Four years after the sudden death of his wife, forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan is still grieving. Unable to write, and plagued by vivid nightmares set at the western Maine summerhouse he calls Sara Laughs, Mike reluctantly returns to the lakeside getaway. There, he finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, whose vindictive purpose is to take his three-year-old granddaughter, Kyra, away from her widowed young mother, Mattie. As Mike is drawn into Mattie and Kyra's struggle, as he falls in love with both of them, he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations and escalating terrors. What are the forces that have been unleashed here -- and what do they want of Mike Noonan? 
----------------------------------------
 LISEY'S STORY: STEPHEN KING (*This book is so pretty without the dust jacket!)

SYNOPSIS: Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a twenty-five-year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went -- a place that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. Perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel, "Lisey's Story" is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.
-------------------------------------------
BOUND BY NIGHT & BOUND BY BLOOD: AMANDA ASHLEY (BKS 1&2)

SYNOPSIS:  BOUND BY NIGHT: The first in a two-part series, "Bound by Night" shares the story of a woman who discovers that a vampire's kiss is forever. Original.
SYNOPSIS: BOUND BY BLOOD: Zack Ravenscroft loves women-all women-and they love him. The irresistibly seductive owner of the hottest casino in Vegas, Zack has tasted every wicked pleasure Sin City can offer. But never in his six hundred years as a vampire has he seen a morsel as delectable as Kaitlyn Sherrad, the mysterious young newcomer in town. Zack knows nothing about her-except that he craves her.

Kaitlyn is half vampire, half human-and all woman. As the cherished daughter of the Carpathian Coven's master, she has been given every luxury a girl could desire. Now her only need is for a prince. But though she's ready to gamble her heart on Zack, a powerful enemy stalks their every move...watches their every kiss...and waits to destroy their undying love.

SUCCULENT PREY BY WRATH JAMES WHITE
