CONTEMPORARY NEW RELEASES:

1. The Finish Line (The Ravenhood Book 3) by Kate Stewart <— SURPRISE!! LIVE!!! TRILOGY CONCLUSION ALERT & SO MANY HERE LOVE THIS SERIES!!

Cristina: I got the email from Kate Stewart that there will be a third book in the Ravenhood series! And it’s not a bonus epilogue, but a full length novel! YES!!!!! LOVED that series! It’s most likely my favorite of the year!

Shaleen: The Ravenhood duet!!! Yep!! It pretty much ruined me too, in the best way possible. A must read.

Pia: Reading about your dreams Maryse reminds me of my latest read – The Ravenhood Duet by Kate Stewart. The heroine has the most explicit dreams as well. I know you have read severel Kate Stewart books, and you really have to read this one. IT HAS RUINED ME FOR ANY FUTURE BOOKS

I have read so many of her books – Drive and Heartbreak Warfare have been my favorites so far. But this one tops everything she has ever written. I finished it last night, and don’t know how I will be able to start another book – I just want to stay in Triple Falls and in Cecilias life. I could quote the entire book, but this one stood out:

“I do what thieves do, I stole you”.
