In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.  Every week I’ll post about what books I have received that week – either through the mail for review, borrowed from the library or bought.

For Review:

Michael Scott – The Necromancer

Sophie and Josh have returned to San Francisco.  They must protect themselves from the Dark Elders, but they’ve not yet mastered the magic they’ll need to do so.  Their trust in Nicholas Flamel is shaken, and their friend Scatty is missing.  Unbeknownst to the twins, John Dee has amassed an enormous army of foul creatures, with which he plans to battle Nicholas and his wife, Peronelle.  In order for his plan to work, he must train a necromancer to raise the Mother of the Gods from the dead.  The twins of legend will make the perfect pupils in his diabolical scheme.

Richard Jay Parker – Stop Me

Forward this email to ten friends.  Each of those friends must forward it to ten friends.  Maybe one of those friends of friends of friends will be one of my friends.  If this email ends up in my inbox within a week, I won’t slit the bitch’s throat.
Can you afford not to send this onto ten friends?
Leo Sharpe’s life is shattered when his wife Laura suddenly disappears.  His desperate need to find her turns to obsession when he becomes convinced she’s the latest victim of The Vacation Killer who has claimed eleven lives already – is Laura going to be the twelfth?  The MO is the same every time – a woman disappears and within hours inboxes around the world receive a threatening email.  A few days later, grim evidence of the victim’s death is delivered to the police.  But in Laura’s case, nothing is sent.  Has the killer spared her life?  Why?  And for how long?  For Leo, the clock is ticking – he needs to do everything in his power to stop the killer before it’s too late.

Library:

Kresley Cole – No Rest for the Wicked

A vampire warrior who yearns for death…  Three hundred years ago, Sebastian Wroth’s brothers forced him to become a vampire – a nightmare in his mind.  Shamed and alone for ages, he longs to die.  Until an exquisite creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead.Â
A beautiful assassin dispatched to destroy him…  When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow – accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions.  Yet whenever she encounters the vampire with his grave eyes, her feelings – particularly lust – emerge multiplied.  For the first time, she’s unable to complete a kill.  The prize is a key powerful enough to resurrect her sisters.  Not understanding the key’s import, Sebastian hinders her against other opponents by using her new feelings to seduce her and earn her love.  But when Kaderin is forced to choose between finally killing Sebastian and reuniting her family, how can she live without either…?
