Mailbox Monday


Thank you to Marcia at the Printed Page for hosting Mailbox Monday every week. Another great week for me with 2 more books landing in my mailbox!
Stay tuned for my reviews of these books :-)


Wait Until Twilight by Sang Pak
(from publicist - for review)

A debut coming-of-age novel about a motherless teenage boy who discovers a terrifying secret in his small Georgia town, and finds that sometimes the most gruesome monsters are those inside ourselves. What I need to do, needs to be done before it gets too dark . . . Sixteen-year-old Samuel confronts his own inner monster when he discovers a set of deformed triplets whose mother believes they were immaculately conceived. Soon, the babies have taken hold of his waking and sleeping thoughts, and, unable to escape them, he decides to save them, but their shutin mother and violent older brother want nothing to do with him. Samuel must fight the trouble within him and the trouble he sees around him to determine who he will become in a year that forces him to grow from motherless boy to self-defined man. Set in a small Georgia town, this psychologically complex story of survival and self determination explores the dark, often contradictory worlds of young contemporary life, laying bare the ugly truths and secrets that haunt all of us.

Dancing With Ana by Nicole Barker

  1. Wait Until Twilight sounds like a really interesting book. I was expecting it to be about vampires with that title, but I am wondering if the triplets turn out to be evil.
