Waiting on Wednesday

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.


After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance. But Rory's brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she's become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades— the city's secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it's too late.

In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated The Name of the Star, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.



Still need to read the first one, but I have high hopes that I will enjoy it! So still can't read this description myself, but am hoping to read The Name of the Star very soon! Or soonish!

    This book is new for me but if Cassandra Clare says it's good then I'm in. I have to add it on my to-read list. Great pick :)

    Hahaha, that pictures and then the title 'The Madness Underneath' just made me laugh out loud! I'm fascinated by the Ripper, not in a scary way, but more in a disgusted way! Thanks for sharing and stopping by!
