Being a force of nature doesn’t keep you safe.
Hunter Garrity is used to watching his back. The kids at school sense something different about him. And they’re right.
Hunter has powers that have nothing to do with how hard he can throw a punch.
Maybe that’s what Clare Kasten is picking up. She’s shy, quiet, and intense, but she’s sought him out. There’s no telling what she wants from him.
But Hunter knows enough to sense a secret when it’s close. And getting close to Clare is a danger he’s ready to face…

Forget about Once Upon a Time . . .
Built on top of the gates of Hell, Grimm City is the Devil’s capital on earth. A place where every coffee shop, nightclub and shopping mall is the potential hunting ground for a ghost, a demon, or any of the other supernatural entities that inhabit the Grimm City world.
Death’s seventeen-year-old apprentice, Nathaniel, comes into his own as he leads an uprising against the Devil with the help of a half-dead wraith and a giant hit-man. What results is a bloody, brutal revolt that calls upon the loyalties of both the living and the dead.
Based not only upon the Brothers Grimm well-known fairy tales, but also upon their “unknown” sagas and essays, Death's Apprentice is the first novel to be based upon the entire Grimm canon. Such a comprehensive, in-depth adaptation of the works of the Brothers Grimm has never been published before!
Fearless (Elemental #1.5): Why? Because I loved Storm. I loved Storm. I loved Storm. I loved Storm. Oh, hi there. Brain glitch. Sorry. I loved Storm! I feel hard for the characters and story Brigid brought to life and now I want more, damnit! Fearless is a novella set between Storm and Spark, focusing this time on Hunter. Who I am REALLY interested in probing even further. Who is Clare? Why isn't it August yet? And do you see his hand totally beckoning me closer on the cover?
Death's Apprentice: Every supernatural nasty from the deepest pits of Hell with VIP access to the city? COUNT. ME. IN. This sounds SO good! I love that it will draw heavily from the Brothers Grimm and well, who DOESN'T want to read about an apprentice of Death? Okay, maybe you to the left and you in the back corner hiding under a chair, but everyone else... sounds awesome, right? I want!
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
Fearless - Fantastic pick :D I can't wait for this one either - I loved Storm so much! :D <3
ReplyDeleteOh gosh hun both of those books sound absolutely fabulous! STORM STORM STORM STORM. <3 And wow. I adore Fairy Tales, ESPECIALLY Fairy Tales with a dark twist. ;) DEFINITELY adding Death's Apprentice to my list! HEE.
ReplyDeleteBrodie, are you sure Hunter's beckoning to you? From this angle, I think it might be at MEEEE :-P
ReplyDeleteDear goodness, 2012 is an awesome year for books!
PSH. You're to his right. I'm to his left. See? His hand is totally inclined toward ME :P
Delete2012 is going to financially ruin us all haha.
Wow, Death's Apprentice sounds really good! I've just added it to my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteWait... so let me get this straight. YOU liked Storm? Nu-UH. And NO WAY.
ReplyDeleteUh, and also? F E A R L E S S!!! ME WANTY! *GRABBY GRABBY*
Uh, Death's Apprentice? AMAZING. It sounds whole new flavours of epic! Like Bertie Botts kind of new flavours of epic O____O
True story: My cousin and his best friend gave me a rotten egg flavoured jelly bean... and one that was meant to be dog food, and one that was meant to ne nappy flavoured (it tasted like talcum paper). Fine.
But the rotten egg one? I nearly threw up O____O
SERIOUSLY. Where the hell is everyone getting that from? I loved it? THAT'S NEWS TO ME. *stops stroking book* *clears throat*
DeleteEwwwww gross! hahaha. Why does it not surprise me, though? That you have friends who would buy them for you and that you would ACTUALLY eat them. That is disgusting LOL <3
Death's Apprentice...um.... *WANTS*. It sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to fall in love with the boys from Storm, but I am excited to meet them. I am reading it shortly as I now finally have them! YAY!
Why are there so many hot boys on the Elemental series's covers? *sways from the hotness* Anyway, I haven't heard of Death's Apprentice but it sounds really cool! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteOhh hun great picks. I've seen the Elemental books around EVERYWHERE this last month and they look fantastic reads. ~ Donna

Did we have a cover change already? *blinks at FEARLESS* Not that I'm complaining! I'm still annoyed that I haven't had time to work it in, when I've wanted it for oh so long. *geh* Ohh, DEATH'S APPRENTICE sounds *awesome*, thank you for introducing me!
ReplyDeleteNo cover change! That I'm aware of. Hunter is gracing the covers of both Fearless and Spirit - Fearless being a novella set between Storm and Spark. Spirit being the actual third book... double the Hunter! I'm not complaining :D
DeleteSOO excited for Death's Apprentice!
I have Storm now! I can't wait to start it and see what all the fuss is about. ;) Anyway, great WOW picks! I hadn't heard of Death's Apprentice but it sounds amazing. Will definitely be adding to the TBR!
ReplyDeleteWow, Hunter looks hot. :P Aaand I just bought Storm. :) Can't wait to dive in.
ReplyDeleteThat Grimm City Novel sounds great, too :D
My WoW
Hmm... both of these look good! I think the second one especially will be up my alley - all the fairy tale things about it appeal. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteIf you’d like, you can check out my WoW here.
I still need to read Storm! I keep seeing raving reviews. And Death's Apprentice looks AWESOME! Adding it to Goodreads ASAP, can't wait to read it! Fab picks (as usual), Brodie! :)

ReplyDeleteDeath's Apprentice sounds cool, as well :) Nice picks!!
My WoW
YAY! I can't wait to read your review! The story was amazing, but those damn characters are definitely what made it so special for me! <3
DeleteBRODIE! DEATH'S APPRENTICE! I'd never heard of it before, but OH MY GOD IT SOUNDS AMAZING! I needs a copy! I needs your copy before you get it! Oooooh, this sounds GOOD!
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY for more Elemental goodness! Looking forward to Storm, but also everything that comes after! Eeee!
I need to go [stalk] investigate and see if Australia is publishing Death's Apprentice. If not, HELLO BOOK DEPOSITORY, MY AWESOME FRIEND. I really hope this lives up to the hype I'm building in my head haha.
DeleteI'm SO excited for you to read Storm!
Brodie...did you...Love Storm? Did I get that right? I think that's what you were trying to get across...I still need to read it, argh! Don't kill me. Death's Apprentice sounds pretty damn awesome too
ReplyDeleteThe Cait Files
... er, no. Did you even read my post at all? God, that book was awful. Kickbutt heroine and sexy guys? They're so full of themselves.
DeleteTHE LIE TASTES SO VILE ON MY TONGUE. Except the kickbutt/sexy parts. They're oh so true :D
YO. Death's Apprentice, man. I've never read a more thrilling synopsis. At least not in recent memory because BAM! That one sucks you in and MAKES YOU want to read it THIS moment.
ReplyDeleteYES. YES. YES. Once Upon A Time has me craving fairytale books like crazy and to find one with a darker twist? I'm frothing at the mouth.
DeleteOMG THERE'S A book based on Hunter!!!!!!!! YES! YES! YES!!! WANT!
ReplyDeleteKrazyyme @ Young Readers
LOL, the cover model for Hunter totally does not look like how I imagined Hunter :P BUT I AM SO EXCITED TO READ SPARK!!!! A BOOK WRITTEN FROM HIS POV? YES! YES! YES!
ReplyDeleteAnd ooo, I haven't heard of Death's Apprentice but it sounds INCREDIBLE! <3
Awesome picks, Brodie!
I WANT x 100000000000000000! I'm not exactly a huge fan of the cover of Death's Apprentice BUT after reading the blurb, I'm officially DESPERATE to read it now!!!
ReplyDeleteGahhh and FEARLESS! Gosh, I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER KNEW HUNTER WAS GETTING HIS OWN STORY!!!!! (It wasn't until my friend from school suddenly said: I'M DYING TO READ FEARLESS & then explained that HUNTER WAS GETTING HIS OWN STORY that I realised :S) But woww....I LOVE THE COVER! Except well..that's not exactly how I pictured Hunter in my mind :S But still...ALL the models are HOT!
OOHHHH! Anddd do you watch REVENGE? Anyway...Gabriel on the AU cover of SPARK looks A LOT like Daniel from REVENGE! (aka JOSH BOWMAN! and he's freaking HOT!)<333
Hadn't heard of these before, but they look so good! You've just added some books to my TBR!

I think it's great that Brigid is doing lots of stories in between/before books, it's a great way to keep fans happy while they wait!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really do hope you enjoy the Ruby Oliver series, some people have found it a bit young but I really found it entertaining and each book is even better than the last!
*zooooooooooooms in on the picture of Hunter and squints* I don't think I can see his white streak...
ReplyDeleteBUT IT DOESN'T MATTER because I'm so excited to read it anyways!!! LOL Brodie, your mega-Brigid fangirlness always manages to make me more excited to read her stories than ever before! x) Even though I wanted Becca to end up with Chris, I still wholeheartedly loved Hunter and the way he dared her to be braver and the way he was just plain awesome. And I really want to know who Clare is too! Or maybe I just want him and the shy girl to get a HEA :')
Hehe, amazing picks for your WOW this week, Brodieeeeee! I just added Death's Apprentice to my TBR too! :) <3
BRODIE! I guess you loved Storm too, right? HEHE!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Fearless and I want to read Elemental!
OH AND HEY I CAN'T WAIT FOR SPARK BECAUSE LIKE GABRIEL!
I haven't even started Storm yet as I'm reading Iron King, FINALLY. But IT IS NEXT ON MY LIST <3 I already love Storm, seriously. I'm just THAT hyped up for it (no thanks to you *points accusingly*)
ReplyDeleteNo. But I don't really mind... I'M SO BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT!
