In My Mailbox: 04/12/11

{ ++ } Kristi over at The Story Siren hosts this fun meme. It's a chance for book bloggers to speak out about the books we've ordered, checked out, or snagged off a library shelf. No matter how you come across those shiny new books, we all know we love to show them off and get pepped up to read them!

{ ++ } I'm a little late this week, but hopefully I can still join in the fun! I bought two new books this week, the third and fourth volumnes in a series I am greatly enjoying: Jessica Andersen's Nightkeeper's series.

When prominent Mayanist Ambrose Ledbetter goes missing, his daughter Sasha tracks his remains down to an ancient temple. Before she can recover from the shock, she is kidnapped. Slick and charming recruit Michael Stone rescues Sasha from her imprisonment and feels an instant attraction. But he doesn't dare get involved, with the threat of his dark side growing stronger and the powers of sorcery on the rise. Both Michael and Sasha will discover a new passion together and one they have to admit to in order to change their worlds...

According to Mayan doomsday prophecy, 12/21/12 marks the end of the world in a global cataclysm that can only be prevented by the Nightkeepers, magical warriors enlisted to fight the rise of the underworld demons. To fulfill the final prophecy the Nightkeepers must find their mates, but when Lucius and Jade are charged with rescuing the Mayan sun god, they try to ignore their growing attraction. Unless they can confront their own demons and accept that love isn't a weakness, even destiny might not be able to save them...

{ ++ } Needless to say, I am quite fascinated by this series, and anxious to start turning the pages of these books when I can!
