Genre Blend New Releases for August 2014

Here are some of the genreblended books coming out in August 2014.  The focus is on blends with a SF, Fantasy or Horror element, but I also include blends from other genres from popular authors or to which I’m especially looking forward. Genres are listed in my best estimation as to the order of prominence to the story. For example, if the first genre listed is SF, that is probably the first audience for the book. What are you most looking foward to?
