The official patter:
"Secrets prove deadly in this new novel from Tasha Alexander featuring Lady Emily Hargreaves. Some very prominent people in London are waking up to find their doorsteps smeared with red paint, the precursor to the revelation of a dark secret – and worse – by someone who enjoys destroying lives
Newly returned to her home in Mayfair, Lady Emily Hargreaves is looking forward to enjoying the delights of the season. The delights, that is, as defined by her own eccentricities—reading The Aeneid, waltzing with her dashing husband, and joining the Women’s Liberal Federation in the early stages of its campaign to win the vote for women. But an audacious vandal disturbs the peace in the capital city, splashing red paint on the neat edifices of the homes of London’s elite. This mark, impossible to hide, presages the revelation of scandalous secrets, driving the hapless victims into disgrace, despair and even death. Soon, all of London high society is living in fear of learning who will be the next target, and Lady Emily and her husband, Colin, favorite agent of the crown, must uncover the identity and reveal the motives of the twisted mind behind it all before another innocent life is lost."
Why have I been waiting so long to start this series? Because it's so awesome I will cry when I have to wait for new books (or so everyone tells me).
Mastiff by Tamora Pierce

To Buy
The official patter:
"The Legend of Beka Cooper gives Tamora Pierce's fans exactly what they want—a smart and savvy heroine making a name for herself on the mean streets of Tortall's Lower City—while offering plenty of appeal for new readers as well."
I really should admit this, though I'm scared to find the reaction. I've never read any Tamora Pierce. This is a situtation that I will fix, please don't throw rotten fruit and or vegetables at me please.
Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George
Published by: Bloomsbury
Publication Date: October 25th, 2011
Format: Hardcover, 240 Pages
To Buy
The official patter:
"Tuesdays at Castle Glower are Princess Celie's favorite days. That's because on Tuesdays the castle adds a new room, a turret, or sometimes even an entire wing. No one ever knows what the castle will do next, and no one-other than Celie, that is-takes the time to map out the new additions. But when King and Queen Glower are ambushed and their fate is unknown, it's up to Celie, with her secret knowledge of the castle's never-ending twists and turns, to protect their home and save their kingdom. This delightful book from a fan- and bookseller-favorite kicks off a brand-new series sure to become a modern classic."
Just sounds like a ton of fun. Kind of a kids version of that crazy lady who kept buidling onto her house so the ghosts wouldn't get her.
Forest Born by Shannon Hale
Published by: Bloomsbury
Publication Date: October 25th, 2011
Format: Hardcover, 416 Pages
To Buy
The official patter:
"Hale adds a fourth entry to her Books of Bayern series with this exciting, stand-alone title focused on teenaged Rin, who follows her brother, Razo, from their forest home to the city’s royal court. Characters from the series’ previous titles all hold major roles in the ensuing adventures in which Rin joins a battle to protect Bayern from evil forces. As usual, Hale’s vivid, poetic language; romantic and action-filled plot twists; and friendship themes create a rich, satisfying read. But it’s Rin’s sensitively drawn struggle to recognize and accept her own power that will stay with readers most."
There was fan outcry when the 4th in the beloved Bayern books didn't have an illustrated cover and instead had pictures. Ick, pictures. Where was the wonderful Alison Jay artwork? Thank God for special editions eh? They can write wrongs, unless it's Star Wars and just makes more and more wrongs.

The official patter:
"The incredible conclusion to the Inheritance Trilogy, from one of fantasy's most acclaimed stars.
For two thousand years the Arameri family has ruled the world by enslaving the very gods that created mortalkind. Now the gods are free, and the Arameri's ruthless grip is slipping. Yet they are all that stands between peace and world-spanning, unending war.
Shahar, last scion of the family, must choose her loyalties. She yearns to trust Sieh, the godling she loves. Yet her duty as Arameri heir is to uphold the family's interests, even if that means using and destroying everyone she cares for.
As long-suppressed rage and terrible new magics consume the world, the Maelstrom -- which even gods fear -- is summoned forth. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and god, lovers and enemies. Can they stand together against the chaos that threatens?
Includes a never before seen story set in the world of the Inheritance Trilogy."
Been meaning to start book one and look! I now don't have to wait ten years to finish the trilogy!
I'm really excited about Crimson Warning! That is one of my absolute favorite series. Did I see right that you haven't started it? The first three books are definitely ones you'll want to read at once but after that things settle down a little more and each extra book is just a bonus. I'd start the series ASAP!
Also, I didn't know the last book of the Inheritance trilogy was coming out tomorrow, glad I saw your post! I have the first two books but was kinda waiting around to have all of them before starting.
