Touch by Jus Accardo
tbp: Nov. 1, 2011
Description:
When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home.
Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized.
Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they’re caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.
A secret Kale will kill to protect.

Annabelle Lee #2
tbp: March 27, 2012
Description:
As best as she can determine, Annabelle’s attack by a group of fairies has infected her with paranormal ability she did not previously possess, including being able to mentally move objects and heal wounds. Her new abilities appear to have few negative side effects, aside from creepy dreams. But would that change if she stopped injecting herself with the mystery drug delivered to her by the even more mysterious Tucker, one of the Invisibles?
Leery of trusting criminals with her health, Annabelle wishes she had someone she could talk to about the changes in her life. Enter Hitch, FBI agent and Annabelle’s ex, who’s back in Donaldsonville on an off-the-books investigation. Hitch suspects that there’s a government-funded illegal lab that’s developing a controversial fairy-killing spray that could adversely affect the existence of every living thing in the delta — including humans. And Hitch and Annabelle will have to find a way to work together if they're going to find a way to shut it down.
I just got the first one, Dead on the Delta for $3.99 for my ereader for the Pocket book's big sale. So, I need the second one when it comes out too! :)
So, what is on your wishlist this week?
I have Dead on the Delta waiting to be read amongst my pile as well - I love the cover of Blood on the Bayou - the red and orange. Plus there's a cat! :-)

ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up about the deal on Zombies vs Unicorns! yay! Surely buying ereader books counts as not buying 'proper' books before Christmas? Hmm, a loophole? :P
He wears shoes in the shower? Methinks he has a foot odor problem. But with those piercing blue eyes, I'd overlook it :)
