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

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

Breaking the Rules, Ripped and Amour Amour – I can’t wait to get my hands on those books. Especially, Breaking the Rules – Noah is still my favorite boy in the series.

I have heard a lot about Wicked and No Place to Fall. Definitely curious about both of them! 🙂

I can’t wait for Gathering Darkness. So in love with that series, but I’m also looking forward to Wicked. If you’d asked me two days ago I would have said meh, but JLA has been releasing chapters every day this week, leading up to the release and I stupidly clicked on it yesterday. Now I’m hooked.

Hmmm, this week I have a pair of preorders (Wicked and Top Ten Clues) and I’m quite tempted to get Princess of Thorns, since I’ve heard so many good things!
Kayla @ The Thousand Lives
Breaking the Rules! I am beyond excited for that one 😀 Now I just need to remember to download the ebook when it’s released, otherwise it’ll be months before I get around to it.
I’d love to get Zodiac, but I’m on a book ban until after Christmas! It’s number one on my list in case it’s not under the tree 😉
Jeann @ Happy Indulgence
I’m most excited about Amour Amour, both of those authors are freaking amazing! I love their Addicted series. Not so many I want to read here, except for No Place to Fall, Princess of Thorns and Top Ten Clues. Thanks for the feature this week!
Alreem
OMG ,, many good books coming out this week but what makes it even more special is that the new book for Jennifer L. Armentrout WICKED ,, so happy ,, thanx for sharing 🙂
Mel@thedailyprophecy
I can’t wait for Princess of thorns! Her other retelling was pretty good and it’s a fairytale, so I’m always in for that 😀
Chyna @ Lite-Rate-Ture
I’M VERY EXCITED FOR ZODIAC!!! THE BLURB SOUNDS INCREDIBLE! GREAT SELECTION, Giselle <3
Rachel @ A Perfection Called Books
I’m so excited for lots of these books!! I’m almost done Zodiac, it’s pretty good 😀 Thanks for compiling all of these!!
Jennifer Bielman
I feel like I am so out of the loop. I didn’t even know about Wicked and I didn’t know Breaking the Rules was releasing.
