By Nnedi Okorafor
ISBN:  978-1-101-18821-7
 
Upon beginning this book I had no idea what to expect. Onyesonwu’s life was harsh and trying. Born as a child of rape, raised in a antiquated culture of bigotry and old traditions, she learns about herself in fits of anger, tragedy and triumph. She becomes a sorceress of incredible talent and is challenged and pushed by life and fate in amazing and heartbreaking ways . She finds love, friendships and self discovery along the way.

Me Myself and Why by MaryJanice Davidson

This is the first book in a new trilogy by Ms Davidson and it features Cadence Jones a not so typical FBI agent, who just happens to have a multiple personality disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder.  No, not your usual comedic romance plot lines.  But then again this IS MaryJanice Davidson we’re talking about.  She is the one who was able to turn forced sex (MJD did acknowledge this to be a rape scene) into a semi-series and had them becoming the participants as  semi-recurring characters in her Betsy Queen of the Vampires books.  So if anyone can take a politically incorrect theme and turn it into an interesting story it’s MaryJanice Davidson.

Infinity: Chronicles of Nick

Fourteen year-old Nick is having a really difficult time in high school.  He’s constantly bullied, both physically and mentally by the kids and faculty of the school for well-off kids that he’s attending with a scholarship.  Kyrian Hunter saves Nick’s life when the kid prevents his friends from mugging an elderly couple, thus opening up a whole new world of creatures and people with abilities that he’d known nothing about. 

Kids at the school are becoming living zombies and while working with others to stop them, it becomes evident that Nick is something more.  Different factions are aware of what he is and that he has the potential to destroy the world.

Twice Bitten - Chicagoland Vampires, Book 3

This third book in the Chicagoland Vampires is just as fresh as the first two. Merit, a vampire for less than three months, was made Sentinel of Cadogan House due to her strength and speed, as well as her ability to feel magic and resist glamour.

We deal with shifters in this book as Merit and Ethan are requested by Gabriel, the Apex of the North American Central Pack, to act as security at a meeting of four packs. The meeting will determine if the shifters stay where they are and risk being pulled into a war, or retreat to their home base in Alaska. Most aren’t happy to have vampires included in their business. To the vampires, an alliance with the shifters would be a big deal for what they fear is coming.

Undead and Unfinished - Queen Betsy, Book 9

This latest book in the Betsy, Queen of the Vampires series, is the second book to come out of that household that I wanted to put down, but by the end, was glad I hadn’t.  The other book was Seraph of Sorrow co-written by MJD and her husband, Anthony Alongi.

Betsy’s half-sister, Laura, is the Antichrist, but purposely grew up to be a very nice person with occasional temper issues.  Having been adopted into a minister’s family helped.  But when she begins experiencing pain and constant dreams about Hell, she and Betsy determine it’s time to talk to Laura’s mom, Satan.  Laura and Betsy have to travel through time so that Laura can learn to pop up anywhere at anytime; mom is tired and wants to step aside and turn over the reins of the business of Hell to Laura.
