Turn My Swag On

Went to heaven today, also known as Barnes and Nobles. Had a chocolate cupcake induced mouthgasm, then raided the shelves to support my habit. Pretty proud of myself, only left with 9 books. Urban Fantasy,Paranormal YA, Dark Fantasy, & Paranormal Romance, oh my. I am a very happy Bookslut, my wallet...not so much. The new additions to my harem: Sins & Shadows by Lyn Benedict

When one of her employees is murdered in front of her. Sylvie has had enough. After years of confounding the dark forces of the Magicus Mundi, she's closing up shop.

A man claiming to be the god of Justice wants Sylvie to find his lost lover. And if she doesn't agree to help, her family, her friends, and the world will suffer the consequences. Tracked by real-world government agents, hunted by her many enemies of the darkness, and drawn ever deeper into a labyrinth of evil deeds and immortal powers. Sylvie must find her quarry before she finds the truth about herself. Because in her line of work, the truth can set you free... and then it can kill you

I purchased out of character today,usually research before purchase is my motto. But, despite hyper awareness of UF releases,I've heard no buzz about this book. So I'm bumping it to the top of my TBR, cause I'm selfless like that lol and the blurb is fantastic. Eve of Darkness by S.J. Day

Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel... All in a day's work. For Evangeline Hollis, a long-ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain. Thrust into a world where sinners are drafted to kill demons, Eve knows her learning curve must be short. A longtime agnostic, she begrudgingly maneuvers through a celestial bureaucracy where she is a valuable but ill-treated pawn. She's also become the latest point of contention in the oldest case of sibling rivalry in history... But she'll worry about all that later. Right now she's more concerned with learning to kill while staying alive. And saving the soul she'd never quite believed she had.

Storm Glass by Maria V Snyder

As a glassmaker and a magician-in-training, Opal Cowen understands trial by fire. Now it’s time to test her mettle.

The Stormdancers—particularly the mysterious and mercurial Kade—require Opal’s unique talents to prevent it happening again. But when the mission goes awry, Opal must tap into a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening. And the further she delves into the intrigue behind the glass and magic, the more distorted things appear. With lives hanging in the balance—including her own—Opal must control powers she never knew she possessed...powers that might lead to disaster beyond anything she’s ever known.

Need by carrie jones

Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal. Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.
