The Faster They Live, the Harder They Fall . . .

Raised by con artists, Ellie Watt has a lot of crazy childhood memories-but none crazier than being scarred with acid by the demented crime boss Travis Raines. Now Ellie is a full-grown woman who lives for revenge, and Travis is a full-blown drug lord who kills for pleasure. The sadistic bastard has kidnapped her good friend Gus as well as her mother, whom he’s been holding as prized possessions in his heavily guarded lair. And Ellie has only one chance in hell of getting them out alive-using two dangerous men who love her to death . . .

One is Camden McQueen, a talented tattoo artist who’s made a permanent mark on Ellie’s heart. The other is Javier Bernal, her fiery ex-lover who’s busted more than a few heads in his time. From the crime-ridden streets of Mexico City to the predatory jungles of Honduras, this unlikely trio forms an uneasy alliance in the deadliest game of all-a gun-blazing battle to the finish that will pit enemy against enemy and lover against lover. And Ellie must choose the right man to trust . . . or die.

Karina Halle’s Website / Facebook / Twitter

The daughter of a Norwegian Viking and a Finnish Moomin, Karina Halle grew up in Vancouver, Canada with trolls and eternal darkness on the brain. This soon turned into a love of all things that go bump in the night and a rather sadistic appreciation for freaking people out. Like many of the flawed characters she writes, Karina never knew where to find herself and has dabbled in acting, make-up artistry, film production, screenwriting, photography, travel writing and music journalism. She eventually found herself in the pages of the very novels she wrote (if only she had looked there to begin with).

Karina holds a screenwriting degree from Vancouver Film School and a Bachelor of Journalism from TRU. Her travel writing, music reviews/interviews and photography have appeared in publications such as Consequence of Sound, Mxdwn and GoNomad Travel Guides. She currently lives on an island on the coast of British Columbia where she’s preparing for the zombie apocalypse with her fiance and rescue pup.

    I can’t say I’m looking forward to any of these except for MEET ME AT THE RIVER. The rest… I haven’t heard of, but I really do like the covers for THE LUMINARIES and LEMONY SNICKET — so unique! Also, I love how all the covers for the Artists’ trilogy match together so nicely.

  2. Sapir

    Wow. It always surprises me to see how many books are being released in one week!! I really want to read Fault Line. I’ve heard great things about it. Anywhere But Here looks good too.

    Thanks for posting this list, Giselle!! It’s really helpful 🙂

    I need – like, really NEED to get my hands on the Darkest Minds books. Gah! I want them, so bad. Also really want to read the For Darkness Shows the Stars series. I can’t believe their still writing those House of Night books O.O or that they already have 7 freaking Bane Chronicles books! *rolls eyes*

  4. Jack

    I’m really excited for The Luminaries, especially since it’s shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Pluckily, I got a lovely hardcover for review, so should be reading it soon. Bold Tricks and Fault Line look interesting too. I’ll have to check them out. Plots of great new releases! Thanks Giselle! 🙂
