Books I'm Looking Forward To Reading

The Oversight by Charlie Fletcher literally had my attention with the first sentence of the summary:

Once the Oversight, the secret society that polices the lines between the mundane and the magic, counted hundreds of brave souls among its members. Now their number can be tallied on a single hand.

As the borders between natural and supernatural begin to break down, brutal murders erupt across London, and the fellowship's enemies draw ever closer.

Will a screaming girl brought to the Oversight's headquarters be the instrument of their final downfall or their last, best hope of defense?

A tale of witch-hunters, magicians, unlikely heroes, and the secrets hidden in the shadows.

Meet the Oversight, and remember: When they fall, so do we all.

My, how ominous! While the last sentence is certainly attention getting, that's not what grabbed my attention. The first sentence kind of reminded me of, well... the Night's Watch from George R.R. Martins, A Song of Ice and Fire. Only, ya know, in this case it just might very well be dealing with magic, witches, and possibly vampires (God, I hope there are vampires and werewolves because that would be just so badass). So, for that possibility, I'm really looking forward to picking up Oversight soon. But, I guess we'll see what happens, hm?

Next on my list of books I'm looking forward to read is The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero. While the summary is certainly intriguing...

When twentysomething A., a European relative of the prominent Wells family, inherits a beautiful, yet eerie, estate set deep in the woods of Point Bless, Virginia, it comes as a surprise to everyone—including A. himself. After all, he never knew he had a "second cousin twice removed" in America, much less that his eccentric relative recently committed suicide by jumping out of his third-floor bedroom window—at the same age and in the same way as his father had before him...

With his companion, Niamh, a mute teenage punk girl from Ireland, A. arrives in Virginia and quickly comes to feel as if he has inherited much more than a rambling home and an opulent lifestyle. Axton House is haunted... A. and Niamh know it... but the presence of a ghost is just the first in a series of disturbing secrets they slowly uncover. What led to the suicides? What became of the Axton House butler who fled shortly after hid master died? What lurks in the garden maze&mash;and what does the basement vault keep? Even more troubling, what of the rumors in town about a mysterious yearly gathering at Axton House on the night of the winter solstice?

From rifling through the book and reading the summary on Goodreads, it looks like the format of the novel is as intriguing and interesting as the summary itself. Full of documents, musings, and letters, I think reading this book is going to be very enjoyable simply because of that. Of course, there is the feel of the mystery—many mysteries!—that is going to be just as fun and another reason I'm also looking forward to reading this book.

Honestly, between Oversight and The Supernatural Enhancements, it's going to be extremely difficult in choosing which to pick up first!
