Out of My Pocket #21 / In My Mailbox #26
I haven't bought books in a while, so this is going to be a joint OoMP and IMM because both books I *bought*, only one came in the mail. ;)

Dawnbreaker (Dark Days #3)by Jocelynn Drake
The dawn brings new terror for the creatures of the night . . .Those of her race fear Mira for the lethal fire she bends to her will—a power unique among nightwalkers, both a gift . . . and a curse.The naturi despise Mira for what she is—as they prepare the final sacrifice that will destroy the barriers between the worlds. And once the naturi are unchained, blood, chaos, and horror will reign supreme on Earth.Mira can trust only Danaus, the more-than-mortal vampire slayer, though he is sworn to destroy her kind. And now, as the day approaches when titanic forces will duel under cover of darkness, destiny draws them toward an apocalyptic confrontation at Machu Picchu. But all is not lost, for a wild card has been dealt to them: a rogue enemy princess who can change the balance of power and turn the dread tide. (Goodreads.com)
I have been on a wild goose chase for this book. The store near me said it had 12 copies in stock and we couldn't find them anywhere! I have a friend who's the manager of the fiction floor (including Sci-Fi/Fantasy) and she had her employees scour the store for the books to no avail. I happened by the smaller store near me and they had just ONE copy in stock. Of course, I bought it then and there, even though I had no money on me. Heh.IMM/OoMP:
Incarceronby Catherine Fisher
Incarceron -- a futuristic prison, sealed from view, where the descendants of the original prisoners live in a dark world torn by rivalry and savagery. It is a terrifying mix of high technology -- a living building which pervades the novel as an ever-watchful, ever-vengeful character, and a typical medieval torture chamber -- chains, great halls, dungeons. A young prisoner, Finn, has haunting visions of an earlier life, and cannot believe he was born here and has always been here. In the outer world, Claudia, daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, is trapped in her own form of prison -- a futuristic world constructed beautifully to look like a past era, an imminent marriage she dreads. She knows nothing of Incarceron, except that it exists. But there comes a moment when Finn, inside Incarceron, and Claudia, outside, simultaneously find a device -- a crystal key, through which they can talk to each other. And so the plan for Finn's escape is born ... (Goodreads.com)
You know, honestly I don't know much about this book only that it has seemed interesting to me each and every time I have seen it posted on a blog or talked about online. And since I was preordering two books that come out January 7th on the Book Depository, I thought, why not add this one? (And two others, which will ship next week!). Free shipping, cheaper prices than here in Canada AND I get paperbacks and cooler covers. Heh. I ? the Book Depository!
