Happy Birthday, Poe

Tons of visitors are flocking to our turf today. Why? To visit American author Edgar Allan Poe’s grave. Born Jan. 19, 1809, it’s his birthday after all.

To celebrate Poe’s greatest influence on literature, we figured we’d share some hot new mysteries set to release this year. OK, they’re not as irksome as Poe’s, but they’ll keep ya just as engaged.


Wake Unto Me by Lisa Cach (March 2011)
When Caitlyn accepts a slot at a boarding school in France, she thinks it’s the perfect escape to her recurring nightmares. But then she starts having vivid dreams of a mystery dude from the 1500s, which sparks her to start searching for the real reason for her move. Creepy.

Strings Attached by Judy Blundell (March 2011)
It’s 1950 and sixteen-year-old Kit Corrigan has just escaped to New York and landed a minor Broadway role. When her ex’s father (a lawyer involved in the mob) offers to take her under his wings, you can only imagine there’s love, suspense and murder thrown into the mix. Sweet!


Chime by Franny Billingsley (March 2011)
Can Briony keep a secret? Well, it killed her step-mom and threatens all children in the Swampsea. But when the electrifying Eldric arrives, he treats her like gold and secrets Briony doesn’t even know about start to unfold. 

The Time-Travelling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky (April 2011)
Louise Lambert receives a mysterious invite to a vintage fashion sale. Her gown of choice thrusts her into a silent film star alter ego and Louise suddenly finds herself onboard the Titanic. Can she save herself—and the course of history? You’ll have to wait to find out.

Which mystery are you looking forward to reading the most this year? Blog about it, babes.
