New releases for week of Dec. 16

  If you need any proof that December is a stinky month for new releases, this is the week you'll get it. I had to really scrounge around to find a handful of interesting releases. So here you go.
  Sisters Pamela and Mary O’Shaughnessy, who write under the pen name Perri O’Shaughnessy, offer fans of Nina Reilly a prequel with their 12th novel in the series, "Show No Fear."
  In “Show No Fear,” Nina is a busy single mom working as a paralegal and attending law school while fighting for custody of her son and tracking a medical malpractice lawsuit for her mother. She finds herself in the middle of her first murder investigation after a woman falls to her death off a bridge and witnesses disappear. Nina teams up with homicide cop Paul van Wagoner to discover the truth behind this “accident.”
  Also hitting shelves: “Blood Sins (Blood Trilogy, Book 2)” by Kay Hooper; “Sea of Love” by Jamie Ponti; “The Girls Next Door” by Paul Ruditis; and “Encyclopedia of the End: Mysterious Death in Fact, Fancy, Folklore, and More” by Deborah Noyes.
