I saw this post on Des’ blog and I thought that it was an amazing idea to share with you what books I was approved for on Netgalley on a weekly basis. For those of you who are regular readers of my website, you will know that I request A LOT of books off of NetGalley. I just can’t help myself. I see a pretty cover and BAM. I suddenly have 25 books that need reviewing.

Anyway, this week I was approved for these amazing bunch of books!

Title: In an Absent Dream

Author: Seanan McGuire

Publication Date: 8th January 2019

Publisher: Tor

Pages: 208

Genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Series: Wayward Children #4

This is the story of a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should.

When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she’s found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.

For anyone…

In a hotel room in Venice, where she’s just completed a routine assassination, Villanelle receives a late-night call.

When Vic discovers her parents didn’t die the way she thinks they did, what little remains of her world is turned upside down and she’s left with the task of finding out what really happened to them. But when her quest to uncover the truth reveals a massive conspiracy by a corrupt magical government, will her efforts to find the truth save the world or take the whole universe down with her?

Title: Middle Game

Author: Seanan McGuire

Publication Date: 7th May 2019

Publisher: Tor

Pages: 538

Genre: Fantasy

Series: N/A

Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story.

Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math.

Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet.

Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.

Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn’t attained.

Series: N/A

A killer stalks the streets of London . . .

When a priest is found crucified in a derelict North London chapel, it makes a dramatic change for DI Charlie George and his squad at Essex Road. The brutal murder could not be further from their routine of domestic violence and stabbings on the estates.

And that’s only the beginning . . .

On Christmas Eve, a police officer goes missing and his colleagues can’t help but anticipate the worst. It turns out they’re right to when eventually the body is found and they discover he’s been stoned to death.

As tensions rise, it’s up to Charlie and his team to venture into the city’s cold underbelly to try and find an answer to the madness . . . before anyone else dies a martyr’s death.

And there we have it! Those are all of the books that I’ve been approved for this week!
