A lost colony is reborn in this heart-pounding fantasy adventure set in the near future . . .
Sixteen-year-old Thomas has always been an outsider. The first child born without the power of an Element—earth, water, wind or fire—he has little to offer his tiny, remote Outer Banks colony. Or so the Guardians would have him believe.
In the wake of an unforeseen storm, desperate pirates kidnap the Guardians, intent on claiming the island as their own. Caught between the plague-ridden mainland and the advancing pirates, Thomas and his friends fight for survival in the battered remains of a mysterious abandoned settlement. But the secrets they unearth will turn Thomas’ world upside-down, and bring to light not only a treacherous past but also a future more dangerous than he can possibly imagine.
Antony John was born in England and raised on a balanced diet of fish and chips, obscure British comedies, and ABBA’s Greatest Hits. In a fit of teenage rebellion, he decided to pursue a career in classical music, culminating in a BA from Oxford University and a PhD from Duke University. Along the way, he worked as an ice cream seller on a freezing English beach, a tour guide in the Netherlands, a chauffeur in Switzerland, a barista in Seattle, and a university professor. Writing by night, he spends his days as a stay-at-home dad—the only job that allows him to wear his favorite pair of sweatpants all the time. He lives in St. Louis with his family.

I thin Elemental sounds really good. Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t heard about it yet.
Paranormal Book Fan
Not really interested in any of this week’s releases. I have Undeadly for review, but after all the less than glowing reviews, I can’t say I’m looking forward to it anymore.

I won Middle Ground a few weeks back and I can’t wait for it to come in!! I really liked Awaken and am super excited to read the sequel! Holy Hell, the 6th Experiment in Terror book is coming out!! I have the first 4 or maybe even 5 and I haven’t read them yet. I heard it’s an awesome series though. I didn’t care much for Undeadly. Thanks for sharing the new releases. ♥

I’m most excited for ELEMENTAL! I tried requesting it on NetGalley, but was declined. 🙁 UNDEADLY wasn’t THAT good, so I most definitely won’t be buying it.
Small release week, eh? 🙂
