Thirsting for Thursday is, as the title implies, a monthly book release update. On the first Thursday of every month, I will post the new releases I have discovered. Of course, I do not have all of the book releases that are out there, which is why if there's a title you've noticed is missing, you should leave a comment to let me know! Also feel free to let me know if a date has changed for any of these books. While I try to keep up with all the dates, I cannot keep up with every single title.
Update 1: I've changed the (JUNE) links from the author websites/blogs to the book's Goodreads profile. This way, if you find a title that interests you, you can find more information about the book. For example, if you see a book that's interesting, you can see whether it's the start of a new series, or the next installment of an already established series. GR also provides links to buy the book.
Update 2: I've now included back cover summaries with each new title being released this month. I hope this helps you all a bit more! :)

Seattle police detective Joanne Walker started the year out mostly dead, and she's ending it trying not to be consumed by evil. Literally.
She's proven she can handle the gods and the walking dead. But a cannibalistic serial killer? That's more than even she bargained for. What's worse, the brutal demon leaves no tracks. So, if Joanne is to stop its campaign of terror, she'll have to hunt it where it lives: the Lower World, a shamanistic plane of magic and spirits. Trouble is, Joanne's skills are no match for the dangers she's about to face-and her on-the-job training could prove fatal to the people she's sworn to protect....

**Note, this is an e-book**
New England is ideal for vampire Adam Dubois. His cozy home in the Great North Woods reminds him of a happier time when werewolves and witches were stuff of legends, and he was a simple lumberjack.

Hiding secrets is a lonely business, and Cindy Shepherd is lonely with a capital L. Red Rock isn't exactly crawling with available men, but her interest in the mystery-shrouded new vampire in town seems mutual. After all, it's only sex--there's no danger he'll dig deep enough to unleash the demons of her past.
Casual flirtation turns deadly serious when Adam discovers that the vampire plaguing Red Rock is using his mistakes as a road map. When it comes to his life, he knows Cindy has his back. But in order to secure the future, they both must trust each other with more--even if it means sacrificing themselves to save everything they hold dear.

Their dangerous passion will redeem an assassin's honor...
