Books of 2011

I'm reading Throat by R.A. Nelson which released a few weeks ago. So far it's pretty solid and I'm quite enjoying the little romance going on. For those who love YA vampires (who here doesn't?), you might want to check this one out.

Here's the synopsis:

Quote :

Seventeen-year-old Emma has a curse.

Her epilepsy, with its embarrassing, unpredictable seizures, has cost her friends and derailed her dreams; she can't even legally drive. The curse is ruining her life - until the night it saves her.

Emma is shocked to wake in a hospital, weak from blood loss, after a lost night on a lonely road. She pieces together a brutal attack by a man - no, monster - a vampire named Wirtz. His feeding was cut short by Emma's grand mal seizure, enabling her to escape. But the curse did more than save her. Now Emma has all the strange and amazing powers of a vampire... without the need to drink blood or fear the sun.

Is Emma some new kind of human? Or is she a neues Blut, a Freshblood, someone only recently turned? One thing is certain: Wirtz is merciless, feared even by his own kind, and won't leave a job undone. Emma must now prepare for a fight to the death - with no idea when it will come.

Acclaimed author R. A. Nelson takes readers on a supernatural thrill ride set at a NASA Space Center and filled with adventure, romance, science, intrigue - and the lore and wars of the undead.

ooOoo that sounds good.

That does sound good. Really good. All the pros of being a vamp and none of the weakness. Awesome.... But i'll have to wait awhile- i'm still traumatized with the whole seizure thing and i dont think i could stomach reading about it if it actually describes an episode.

Awakened came out Jan. 4th, as did Unearthly and some others butt I might need to get a job as well *fake tear, fake tear*
