Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:

Inspire
Cora Carmack
Series: The Muse #1
Publication date: December 15th 2014
Kalliope lives with one purpose.
To inspire.
As an immortal muse, she doesn’t have any other choice. It’s part of how she was made. Musicians, artists, actors—they use her to advance their art, and she uses them to survive. She moves from one artist to the next, never staying long enough to get attached. But all she wants is a different life— a normal one. She’s spent thousands of years living lie after lie, and now she’s ready for something real.
Sweet, sexy, and steady, Wilder Bell feels more real than anything else in her long existence. And most importantly… he’s not an artist. He doesn’t want her for her ability. But she can’t turn off the way she influences people, not even to save a man she might love. Because in small doses, she can help make something beautiful, but her ability has just as much capacity to destroy as it does to create. The longer she stays, the more obsessed Wilder will become. It’s happened before, and it never turns out well for the mortal.
Her presence may inspire genius.
But it breeds madness, too.

Inspire sounds like it might be good. I haven’t heard of most of these ones.

I’m not getting any of these, but the covers are pretty gorgeous 😀 Thank you for sharing. <3
Kathy @ I Write, I Read, I Review
Inspire and Revenant will both be going on my Christmas list. 🙂 I loved Cara Cormack’s Losing It series, so seeing her branch into another genre is cool and something I want to support. As for Revenant, I’ve read the rest of the books in the series it’s from, so I don’t want to miss this one.
Chyna @ Lite-Rate-Ture
I’m not very excited for Inspire…Cora Carmack has been nothing but disappointment to me huhu I don’t think we suit each other. :((

This week I don’t have anything preordered and none of the books are really that appealing for me, which is good, given my strict self-impossed ban I’m now on!
Rachel @ A Perfection Called Books
Ooh I’m really curious about Cora’s new book! I love the cover, it looks so mysterious and awesome 😉 Thanks, Giselle!
