This week I'm waiting on...
My Love Lies Bleeding by Alyxandra Harvey
The Blakes are rather different to your usual neighbours. They are vampires and some of the members of the family date back to the twelfth century. One of the children, Solange, is the only female born vampire known and, as such, she poses a direct threat to the vampire queen. Her best friend Lucy is human, and when Solange is kidnapped Lucy and Solange's brother, Nicholas, set out to save her. Lucy soon discovers that she would like to be more than just friends with Nicholas. But how does one go about dating a vampire? Meanwhile, Solange finds an unlikely ally in Kieran, a vampire slayer on the hunt for his father's killer. Recently I spotted a post about this one over at Wondrous Reads, and I had a revelation: I haven't read much vampire fiction lately.
No, really. Hard to believe, I know. I can hardly believe it myself. After gorging myself on every YA vampire novel I could find until last year, I've barely picked up one of the suckers in 2009. Which means my thirst is raging again over My Love Lies Bleeding. The best part? It sounds so completely different from any other vampire novel I've read.
ETA for this one is January 4th 2010 in the UK. Readers in the US will be able to pick this up as Hearts At Stake from December 22nd 2009, but I'm digging the UK title so I'm prepared to wait... impatiently.

I love the sound of this one, and the UK titles really rolls of the tongue, I wonder why they changed it? Roll on January is all I say!
I have already read this one and it's awesome! I hope you enjoy it when you read it :D
I'm currently reading this and its great! I agree I prefer the UK name and cover x
Awesome pick! I'm really excited to read this, but I agree about the UK title!
:)
I want to read this book so bad but Im jealous of the UK title and cover. It's so much prettier than the US version.
I prefer the UK name and cover too! I'm eagerly awaiting Sasha's review - and yours! :)
it IS hard to believe that you haven't read much vampire fiction lately! You can't walk 5 feet into a bookstore without crashing into an Undead Books display!
This looks great! I hadn't heard of it before.
I'm really looking forward to this one, though I prefer the US cover.
Sounds fun. Nice cover! Let me read it when you're done. Thanks :)
I really want to read this one too. Would it be wrong to pre-order this when I have 30 books in my TBR pile? I agree that it does sound very different to other vampire novels.
I've been wanting to read it, too! And nope, Becky, I think it's a okay.
So many great new books on the rise
