August New Releases: Summer Continues to Sizzle

I have been able to keep ahead of some of the new releases of August through ARCs, advanced reader copies, but it's still a challenge with so many amazing titles arriving in this final month of summer.  Here are my top baker's dozen that I've read or hope to read from the riches of new publications, with their publication dates and cover pictures.
