It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #1

This is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey. 

"This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!"

So here's what I'm reading!!!

The God King (Heirs of the Fallen #1) by James A. West:

In the heavens above, the three moons crash together, streaming fire and death in their wake; below, the seas rage as the roiling face of the world shatters. After Prince Varis Kilvar steals powers to transform himself into a god, chaos reigns from the king's city of Ammathor to the forbidding walls of the Black Keep. At his heels marches a demonic army torn from the very bowels of the Thousand Hells, and the risen God King uses terror to stake his claim over all lands.

Betrayed and bound to Varis by powers he does not understand, mercenary Kian Valara is forced to masquerade as the world's savior, while a beautiful Sister of Najihar prepares him for his last battle. Victory against a living god is far from certain, but vengeance? For Kian, when the battle rage falls upon his soul and the sword hilt is hot and alive against his palm, vengeance is never out of reach.

I'm about a quarter of the way through this book, and it is so far amazing. I don't typically read anti-fantasy, but I am so glad I gave this a try. West is an amazing writer.The writing in the God King is incredibly vivid and the plot has been thrilling!

Dark Light edited by Carl Hose:

Dark Light is the light that shines through when some of the finest writers in horror use the power of their words for something good. That’s the case with this anthology—42 writers coming together to help support the Ronald McDonald House Charities and all the good the organization does for families every day of the year.

Make no mistake, though. These are horror writers and the stories they’ve written are not pretty. Traditional and non-traditional horror, dark humor, ghosts, serial killers, alternate universes, magic, zombies, and other creatures of the night hide between these pages. Shadows move and dead fingers stroke unsuspecting flesh, razor sharp knives shimmer in the moonlight, and unknown things hide in closets and under the bed. The stories here are as varied as the writers themselves. If you’re a fan of horror, you will not be let down.

Despite the horrific nature of these tales, however, their very existence in Dark Light stands as proof there will always be a light at the end of every tunnel.

Turn the lights down low and enjoy the show.

I have only just started reading this book, but am already in love with it. I honestly can't wait to finish this, and have already begun sacrificing sleep to do so. I will be posting a review for this book on July 13th, so make sure to check back. It'll be part of a blog tour as well! Oh, and the best part of this book; it's an anthology of many authors who are helping raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House!

I recently received this book for review. It sounds interesting, and I'm quite excited to read it. I also really like the cover art.
