You know I hate it when a hyped book, or currently in my case drama (Rooftop Prince), and it doesn't work. I'm even breaking my 4 rule episode about checking out a new show! I'm going for 7 episodes.
Hopefully these book wishes work out for me! Especially since these are all self published titles. It's funny they've all caught my attention last week.
Chosen by K.F. Breene
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Series: The Warrior Chronicles, book 1
It is said that when war threatens the world, one individual will be selected by prophecy to lead the Shadow Warriors out of the Land of Mist and reclaim the freedom which has been stolen.
~~
Shanti has grown up under the constant threat of war. Since she helped her people defeat a raiding party by using a special power, she’s been a hunted woman. Carrying rare abilities and an uncanny fighting aptitude, Shanti is the only hope of salvation for her people. The problem is, she doesn’t believe in her own divinity, and when she flounders, she nearly fails in the duty hanging so heavy on her shoulders.It seems like any other day when Sanders and his band of misfit boys find a foreign woman clinging to life in the wastelands. Oblivious to the weapon they now have in their possession, they are content to harbor the mysterious woman until she is well enough to continue her journey.
But when the war spreads its arms and lands on her borrowed doorstep, Shanti has no choice but to reveal her secrets, plunging her saviors into danger. If they band with her, they will face certain death. But to trade her to Xandre, the warlord desperate to add her to his war machine, would be to give up their entire way of life.
War is coming. The only choice becomes: Which side do you choose?
While not many of my Goodreads friends haven't read this the few that have love it. In fact, one of them that I trust to find good URBAN FATNASTY (not PNR) raved about this series.
So what do I have to lose? Besides the first book is free.
Elemental Arcane by Phaedra Weldon
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Series: The Eldritch Files, book 1
Samantha Hawthorne lives a rather curious life in New Orleans running a magic and herb shop. As an Elemental Witch in the Big Easy and owner of a wolf Familiar as well as the head of a former Faerie Queen, curious is as quiet as it gets for Sam.
Until children start turning into blood-thirsty Changelings and attack their parents.
When one of these children shows up in front of her shop, Sam and her friends are determined to find out where they’re coming from and where the exchanged children are being kept and put a stop to it. But will they succeed when they find themselves pitted against ninja ghouls, one of the oldest and darkest enemies of the mortal world, and a secret from Sam’s childhood that could unravel her magic?
It's a freebie and I enjoyed preview I had of it. Again, another freebie on Amazon.

But a dark and mysterious power is taking control of mages’ minds, and Sera’s guild sends her in to investigate. To save her city from a magical apocalypse, she must work together with a sexy and deadly mage who represents the very council that sentenced the Dragon Born to death. And if he finds out what she is, she’ll be next…
Mercenary Magic is the first book in the Dragon Born Serafina urban fantasy series.

Dragons! Dragons! Dragons. I really love the idea behind this book. Not to mention the series. So complex! (I've highlighted it in green above. In the synopsis.)
This will be a title I'd be going in blind as none of my GR friends have read it yet. How exciting!
