Blood
Infernal: James Rollins
As an escalating scourge of grisly murders sweeps the
globe, archaeologist Erin Granger must decipher the
truth behind an immortal prophecy, one found in the
Blood Gospel, a tome written by Christ and lost for
centuries. With the Apocalypse looming and the very
foundations of our world crumbling, Erin must again join
forces with Army sergeant Jordan Stone and Father Rhun
Korza to search for a treasure lost for millennia, a
prize that has already fallen into the hands of their
enemy. The forces of darkness have crowned a new king, a
demon named Legion, who walks this Earth wearing many
faces. His reach is beyond measure - even the walls of
the Vatican fall before him. To have any hope of saving
the world, Erin must uncover the truth behind man's
first steps out of the Garden of Eden, an event wrapped
in sin and destruction, an act that damned humankind for
eternity.

and now, just when he's met the love of his life and has
a chance at real happiness, she wants more than ever to

Dead
Before Dying: Kerry Schafer
In this supernatural thriller, shot through with biting
wit, Maureen Keslyn checks herself in to Shadow Valley
Manor to recuperate and rehabilitate from her last job.
There, she runs afoul of the stern director and makes
friends with some of the other residents, mostly older,
all harboring either a secret or a grudge. With secrets
of her own, like why she has her own Federal Agent
checking up on her, and how she injured herself in the
first place, Maureen fits right in, even as she sticks
out like a thorn. But Shadow Valley isn't just for rest
- Maureen is working undercover, seeking to find and
eradicate whatever forces are picking off the residents
(and staff) at a grisly clip. With her resources
dwindling one death at a time, and unnatural forces
seething to rise up once more, Maureen's experience
fighting the supernatural will be her only hope to
destroy a clever and powerful evil - and her only chance
at surviving it. She'll need people as paranoid as she
is - from the sheriff, to the undertaker's daughter, to
a cook whose knife skills in the kitchen could prove
deadly out of it - if she is going to bring rest to the
weary, and peace to the dead.

Drought: Graham Masterton
Ex-Marine Martin Makepeace only learned the truth of the
maxim that you don't know what you have until you lose
it, the day his wife walked out on him with their two
kids. Now, the social worker does his best to take care
of those who need it most. But good deeds mean nothing
when the water just - disappears. It hasn't rained for
months, and now, in the height of summer, the taps run
dry. And not, as they first suspect, because of a burst
water main. In the deprived areas where Martin works,
the water's been intentionally cut off. And it's his
job, he discovers, to tell the families he cares for not
to panic. Martin soon has more problems than lack of
water. His daughter is sick with fever. And as riots
over bottled water start, Martin's teenage son is
framed, and arrested, for a terrible crime. Soon Martin
is left with no choice but to take drastic action to
save his family, while corrupt politicians try and use
the situation to their advantage, with calamitous
results.
