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.
Riss Holloway has taken a
leave of absence from her mortal job as Boston’s Chief Magical
Investigator to focus on an unsettling friction brewing in the
Sisterhood—only to be ushered into a tumultuous civil war drawing every
other god and goddess into the chaos as well.
Isn't this cover wicked awesome?! Kasey is a local author of mine that I really enjoy reading! I ventured into our deeply scary and crazy streets of downtown to just to get to her signing last year! Even saw her at RT this year as well and hung out the last night!

Paranormal romance fans
who are looking to up the ante will be drawn to this tale of horror,
fantasy, and romance. For Mab Prowd, the practice of blood magic is as
natural as breathing. It's all she's ever known. Growing up on an
isolated farm in Kansas with other practitioners may have kept her from
making friends her own age, but it has also given her a sense of
purpose—she's connected to the land and protective of the magic. And she
is able to practice it proudly and happily out in the open with only
the crows as her companions. Mab will do anything to keep the ancient
practice alive and guard its secrets. But one morning while she is
working out a particularly tricky spell she encounters Will, a local boy
who is trying to exorcise some mundane personal demons. He experiences
Mab's magic in a way his mind cannot comprehend and is all too happy to
end their chance meeting. But secrets that were kept from Mab by the
earlier generations of blood magicians have come home to roost. And she
and Will are drawn back together, time again by this dangerous force
looking to break free from the earth and reclaim its own dark power.
This one sounds awesome too! I looved the first one and am awaiting on approval from the publisher via Netgalley for an e-ARC! Hoping to get a yes soon, until then I am waiting waiting waiting!

Hey! I saw your button on Cecilia and sandra's blog! I love it, as I love coffee and books! I think you should also be desperately awaiting "shadow of Night" by Deborah Harkness. It's the follow up to "A Discovery of Witches." It's great!!! I'm a follower now.

Wonderful picks! Cover of The Blood Keeper doesn't fit the cover of Blood Magic really... I'm thinking they hired a new designer XD
