Here is another update for the Books to Watch list. Jenn Bennett’s Run Devil Run sounds like a great addition to the urban fantasy genre. Nicole Maggi’s Shift also sounds really good. I’m definitely interested in learning more about the mythology. You can view my previous Books to Watch posts here.
