Mogsy's Pick:
Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronvitch: October 7, 2014 (DAW)
My urban fantasy crush is Peter Grant, London Metropolitan Police constable and wizard. I love these books! Foxglove Summer is the fifth installment (that is such a lovely title) and it's set to drop this fall, with the US release slightly behind the UK one. At least this time we don't have to wait half a year like I did with the last book.
"In the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper.
Travelling west with Beverley Brook Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more all the shops are closed by 4pm..."

Oh I didn't know this one, but I'll keep an eye on the reviews.
ReplyDeleteI gave up after book 1, I am so critical sometimes
ReplyDeleteIt's not for everyone, I know some UF lovers just couldn't get into Midnight Riot/Rivers of London because the style just wasn't for them :)
DeleteThat's new to me! Not sure it's my kind of read but still hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Never heard of this one before..
ReplyDeleteHere's my Wednesday post.
Ohhhhhhhhhh I didn't realise this one had a release date yet! Super excited for this one after all the twists of book 4.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, awesome title.
Yeah, book 4 ended on a whammy - I kinda saw it coming though, it was hinted at many times...but it still hurt! I can't wait to see what comes out of that :)
DeleteGreat pick! I can't wait to get my hands on this, two weeks earlier than the US I think? Here's hoping this one is as good as the rest :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW!
Yeah, the UK gets it a couple weeks earlier than US, lucky ducks! Well, at least it wasn't six months like with Broken Homes! ^_^
DeleteI still have only read the first one! Ah, I need to get back into the audio books, it helped me catch up old series so well.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love audiobooks for that reason as well. These are such quick reads too.
DeleteHmm, I can't say I've heard of the series, but it looks interesting. I don't read a lot of urban fantasy, but this might be one series to check out.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Waiting on Wednesday
This one looks pretty good! I hadn't heard about this one before but im definitely checking it out! :)
ReplyDeleteNemo @ Blame it on the book
I just borrowed Broken Homes from the library. I'm so excited to get to it! It's great to know that afterwards I won't have to wait long for the next book.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I hope you'll enjoy Broken Homes! The ending was just :O
DeleteThanks, Mogsy! I didn't know another book was coming so soon. That's great! I want to know what happens after the last book, too...
ReplyDeleteOh I know...that ending...ARGH
