From checking out other blogs, author websites and book sellers on the Internet these are the books I will look for this month. I am particulary excited about: Where Serpents Sleep by C. S. Harris, New Tricks by John Levitt and Fortune and Fate by Sharon Shinn.

Before too long, he’s cleaned up
her apartment, stocked her refrigerator, and adopted her dog …” - Contemporary Romance–This has received good reviews on other sites and it sounds like a fun book.

Magic to the Bone
- By Devon Monk
- Paperback released November 4
- Publisher–Roc
- “Everything has a cost. And every act of magic exacts a price from its user–maybe a two-day migraine, or losing the memory of your first kiss. But some people want to use magic without paying, and they offload the cost onto an innocent. When that happens, it falls to a Hound to identify the spell’s caster–and Allison Beckstrom’s the best there is.”
- Urban Fantasy–Sounds like an interesting book.
Fortune and Fate

- Twelve Houses world
- Hardcover released November 4
- Publisher–Ace
- “Shinn returns with a new novel set in the same world [Twelve Houses world], where a troubled Warrior Rider named Wen faces her greatest challenge in the last place she ever expected: behind the walls of a great family estate known as Fortune, where Wen has been hired to guard the young heiress. Once there, she will find that fate has other plans for her…”
- Fantasy–I love Sharon Shinn’s writing.
New Tricks

- “Former enforcer Mason would normally be concerned with finding ghosts and vampires stalking the Castro section of San Francisco. Fortunately, Halloween provides the perfect explanation for the abundance of ghouls. But someone is trying to possess his old flame, Sarah. Now, with the help of his magical dog Louie, Mason must uncover the black magician responsible.”
- Urban Fantasy–I liked the first book in this series (Dog Days). The magical dog Louie is a fun character.

Keira just wants to be left alone without many responsibilities to her supernatural clan and, lately, spend some time with sexy Adam Walker – a vampire trying to get his brethren to give up human blood – on his luxurious Wild Moon ranch. But trouble and her paranormal family keep intruding – Gigi, Keira’s great-great-grandmother and the chief of the clan has sent Tucker, Keira’s 1,200-year-old shapeshifter brother to keep an eye on her!”
- Urban Fantasy–I haven’t read the first book, but these books look like they are worth a look.
A lot of interesting books for November!! Thank you for the post, I think you’re becoming my urban fantasy pimp
I just read your review for Dog Days by John Levitt and it does sound interesting… maybe I should give it a go 
If you enjoyed the VR series, I’m pretty sure you’re going to like Virgin River Christmas
The Sebastian St Cyr series sounds really interesting. I haven’t heard of it before, so will have to check it out.
nath–I hope I can continue to find interesting sounding urban fantasy! I did like Dog Days and am looking forward to his new book. When I get to the bookstore in the next few days I plan to get Virgin River Christmas. I’m in the mood for one of Robyn Carr’s books.
bookdaze–The Sebastian St Cyr series is good. C. S. Harris also wrote historical romance as Candace Procter and these books have romance elements, but aren’t romances. Let me know how you like them if you read them.
Got my hand on Dog Days
Just need to read it now 
I haven’t been keeping track of the new releases lately and forgotten that the new Sebastian St. Cyr book is due out. I love this series. I better go looking for this new one. Also I loved the Virgin River series and really want this new one too. Thanks for the reminder!
nath–let me know if you like Dog Days. I’m going to buy New Tricks when I get a chance.
ReneeW–Glad I could be of assistance! I haven’t gotten the Sebastian St. Cyr book yet, but it’s on my list. I finished A Virgin River Christmas last week and thought it was good. Three more in that series are coming out next year so that will be a treat.
