I hate waiting
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.
As a living descendant of Artemis the Huntress, private investigator Nikki Glass knows how to track someone down. But when an Oracle shows up, warning the descendants about wild dog attacks in Washington D.C., Nikki is afraid it might be a trap. The Olympians believe the “dogs” are jackals, controlled by a blood-crazed descendant of the Egyptian death-god Anubis. Whatever. . . . If Nikki hopes to muzzle Dogboy, she’s got to catch him in the act. But when she stakes out a local cemetery, she ends up face-to-snout with a snarling pack of shadow-jackals whose bite is worse than their bark. These hellhounds are deadly—even for an immortal like Nikki. “Dog” spelled backwards may be “god,” but that won’t stop Nikki from teaching these old gods some new tricks. Like playing dead.
Can't wait to read this one!! Totally loved the first one and how Jenna weaves the Greek mythology into the book!! And Artemis was soooooo my fave goddess when I first learned about them in 7th grade!!

AUTHOR: Jenna Black

WARNING DO NOT READ AHEAD TO THE COVER DESCRIPTION IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IF I DIE!!!
I died on a Thursday-killed by a monster intent on stealing my soul. The good news? He didn't get it. The bad news? Turns out not even death will get you out of high school... Covering up her own murder was one thing, but faking life is much harder than Kaylee Cavanaugh expected. After weeks spent "recovering," she's back in school, fighting to stay visible to the human world, struggling to fit in with her friends and planning time alone with her new reaper boyfriend. But to earn her keep in the human world, Kaylee must reclaim stolen souls, and when her first assignment brings her face-to-face with an old foe, she knows the game has changed. Her immortal status won't keep her safe. And this time Kaylee isn't just gambling with her own life....
OOOOohhhh I sooooo wanna read this asap!! I looooove Rachel's books, whether they are YA or adult, her worlds blow me away and her characters are just freaking awesome!

Before I Wake. You just killed me. I tried to ignore it, so that I wouldn't obsess over it too much but every once in a while someone brings it up and there I am again, searching for spoilers in Vincent's forum. XD
