2012 Must Reads - UF/Fantasy

So, I've been going over my TBR list and thinking about my Must Reads that are releasing this year. I already posted some YA books I'm eagerly awaiting. Now it's time for my adult UF/Fantasy Must Reads. I included release dates and covers when available, but we all know sometimes things change. Let me know what is on your Must-Read list.

Timeless (The Parasol Protectorate, No. 5) by Gail Carriger

Steampunkish Victoriana with gadgets, vampires, werewolves & ghosts, and this time the whole family goes to Egypt. I think it's the final book in the series. out March 1

Discount Armageddon: An InCryptid Novel by Seanan Maguire

New series, and looks like it is completely different from the Toby Daye or Feed (written under Mira Grant) books. I like the idea of cryptozoology, and the young person trying to get out of the family business. UF; out March 6

Sacrificial Magic (Downside bk 4) by Stacia Kane

I really loved Kane's Downside books 1-3 - gritty, dark, and with a heroine who has lots of demons to deal with. Expect I will spend a lot of time worrying about Chess, and waiting to see how far she'll fall. UF series with romance; out March 27

Blood on the Bayou (Annabelle Lee 2) by Stacey Jay

Another heroine who has yet to hit rock bottom, in a world with poisonous fairies, mysterious criminals, and lots of personal demons. UF; out March 27

Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig

New series with a woman who can tell the future but can't change it, until she gets a really, really good reason to try to fix things - like saving her own life. Fantasy/UF?; out April 24

Deadly Descendant (Descendants 2) by Jenna Black

Series based on descendants of the gods; no romance in book 1, but who knows what will happen next. Dark, good action, and very interesting characters. UF; out April 24

The Killing Moon (Dreamblood 1) by NK Jemisin

New duology; I'm not really sure what to expect, but given my love of the Inheritance trilogy (where I didn't know what to expect either), I'm excited for this. Fantasy, out May 3

The Janus Affair (Ministry of Peculiar Occurences 2) by Philippa Ballantine & Tee Morris

I had so much fun reading book1 in this series. Looking forward to more gadgets, tension between opposites Books & Braun, and lots of conspiracies and dastardly goings-on. Steampunk; out May 29

The Taken (Celestial Blues 1) by Vicki Pettersson

New noir-ish series with mysteries to solve and angels (and maybe other things that go bump in the night). UF; Out June 12

Tin Swift (Age of Steam 2) by Devon Monk

I loved book 1 Dead Iron, with it's mix of characters, western, fantasy, and steampunk. Cannot wait to see what happens next! Out July 3

The Iron Wyrm Affair (Bannon and Clare 1) by Lilith Saintcrow

New Steampunk/alt Victorian series with magic; out Aug 7

Gunmetal Magic: A Novel in the World of Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews

Kate Daniels #5.5; Andrea's book. Andrea has been through a ton of crap, some of it her own making, and I can't wait to see how she gets herself together. UF; out in August

Full Blooded (Jessica McClain #1) by Amanda Carlson

Jessica just became the world's only female werewolf and the supernatural world is gunning for her. Expect lots of action. UF, out Sept 1

Inexplicable (Clockwork Century 5) by Cherie Priest

I have so much fun in Priest's Clockwork Century. This time we'll be back with some characters from Seattle, and I do believe there might be a zombie Sasquatch. Steampunk, out 2012.

[Edited to fix reference to Dreamblood duology, not trilogy.]
