Awesome, awesome week!  Harlequin Australia held their inaugural Blogger Summit this week to which I was lucky enough to be invited. Not only did i get to put name to faces at Harlequin that i had previously only communicated by email, I got to meet bloggers from all over Australia, get some awesome ARCs and meet Rachel Vincent who was the special guest.



I am a huge Rachel Vincent fan so this was incredibly exciting and I was kinda glad it was in Sydney because I got to bring all of my Rachel Vincent books to be signed.


Yes! That is a copy of With all my Soul you may have spied above :-P  So extremely excited to find this in the goodie bag we were given.Had to restrain my self from doing a happy dance on my chair.  I love this series and while I don't want it to end.  I can't wait to dive back in for one last swim in this world. As mentioned, also got some other exciting goodies mentioned below.

Lastly, thank you so much to Harlequin Australia for holding such an awesome event and letting me be a part of it!


For Review (thanks to Harlequin Teen Australia): 



ARC of the Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2) by Julie Kagawa




Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.

Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.



Wicked Kiss (Nightwatchers #2) by Michelle Rowen


MY KISS CAN KILL. 

I used to be ordinary Samantha Day, but that's changed. Now, after one dark kiss from a dangerous boy, I can steal someone's soul...or their life. If I give in to the constant hunger inside me, I hurt anyone I kiss. If I don't...I hurt myself. 

Bishop is the one whose kiss I crave most, but if I kiss him, I'll kill him. Then there's another boy, one I can't hurt. One whose kiss seems to miraculously quell my hunger. They're both part of a team of angels and demons that's joined forces in my city to fight a mysterious rising darkness, an evil that threatens everyone I know and love. I just wonder if I'll be able to help Bishop-or if I'm just another part of the darkness he's sworn to destroy.... 

NIGHTWATCHERS 

When angels and demons must work together, something beyond evil is rising...



With All My Soul (Soul Screamers #7) by Rachel Vincent


What does it mean when your school is voted the most dangerous in America? It's time to kick some hellion butt...

After not really surviving her junior year (does "undead" count as survival?), Kaylee Cavanaugh has vowed to take back her school from the hellions causing all the trouble. She's going to find a way to turn the incarnations of Avarice, Envy and Vanity against one another in order to protect her friends and finish this war, once and forever.

But then she meets Wrath and understands that she's closer to the edge than she's ever been. And when one more person close to her is taken, Kaylee realizes she can't save everyone she loves without risking everything she has....



For Review(via Netgalley): 


Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead


In a futuristic world nearly destroyed by religious extremists, Justin March lives in exile after failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims. But Justin is given a second chance when Mae Koskinen comes to bring him back to the Republic of United North America (RUNA). Raised in an aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the military’s most elite and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced reflexes and skills.


When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which humans are merely game pieces on their board.



Gameboard of the Gods, the first installment of Richelle Mead’s Age of X series, will have all the elements that have made her YA Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series such megasuccesses: sexy, irresistible characters; romantic and mythological intrigue; and relentless action and suspense.



So what was in your mailbox this week?
