Hello my lovelies! How was your week? Good I hope!
Two books for me this week!

For Review from the author

Awakened: Book One of the Guardian Legacy by Ednah Walters
A big thank you to Ednah! I've been hearing some good things around the blogosphere about this one and I can't wait to get started on it.

(from Goodreads)

Orphaned as a child and raised by an eccentric grandfather, Lil is concerned with surviving high school and is unaware she's a Guardian—a being with super powers charged with killing demons and protecting humanity. But when she meets Bran, a mysterious boy with amazing abilities, his psi energy unlocks her latent powers. 

But Bran has a secret that can destroy their growing relationship. He's part demon. But in her heart, Lil knows Bran is not evil. So when her grandfather is kidnapped by a powerful nature-bender and Bran is the only one who knows where he's being kept, Lil convinces the other Guardians to trust him, not knowing her grandfather is just the bait. And the truth that she discovers in the demonic enclave may just destroy everything she believes in, unless she makes the right choice—love and sacrifice.

Bought

Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
The cover is even more wonderful in person! Woo hoo zombies!

(from Goodreads)

In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.

So, what's in your mailbox?
