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.
At
least Gwen has plenty of help. Her best friend Lesley follows every
lead diligently on the Internet. James the ghost teaches Gwen how to fit
in at an eighteenth century party. And Xemerius, the gargoyle demon who
has been following Gwen since he caught her kissing Gideon in a church,
offers advice on everything. Oh, yes. And of course there is
Gideon, the Diamond. One minute he’s very warm indeed; the next he’s
freezing cold. Gwen’s not sure what’s going on there, but she’s pretty
much destined to find out.
I still need to read Ruby Red, but I love magic and time traveling, Marianne Curley is my fave author who does that! So I am sure to love Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue!

But everything was not normal. Not at all. We were about to enter
a war with two of the most powerful creatures who had ever used magic.
And we were nowhere near ready for this fight.
Allison Beckstrom’s talent for tracking spells has put her up against
some of the darkest elements in the world of magic, but she’s never
faced anything like this.
Magic itself has been poisoned, and Allie’s undead father may have
left the only cure in the hands of a madman. Hunted by the Authority–the
secret council that enforces magic’s laws–wanted by the police, and
unable to use magic, she’s got to find the cure before the sickness
spreads beyond any power to stop it.
But when a Death magic user seeks to destroy the only antidote, Allie
and her fellow renegades must stand and fight to defend the innocent
and save all magic…
And again, I have to read the last one before this one. I am pretty behind on my series as you might have notice! But since this is the final book in the series I am sure it will be HOT! (get it? I see all the red, orange on the cover and it reminds me of fire, although it's likely magic! okay probably not one of my better tee-hees!)
