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.


The normal part of Lorelei MacAlister’s life didn’t just slip away quietly the day Jared Kovach came to town. Nope. The normal part of her life shattered. It exploded. It burst into a gazillion shards of fleeting light.

It went out with a bang.

Goodbye normal.

Hello dark and eerie.

While her best friend, Brooklyn, is focusing all of her energy on helping Lorelei hone her abilities, Lorelei is dealing with the reality that Satan’s second in command has taken up residence inside her body. Oh, and the fact that she has a crush on the Angel of Death. But what a beautiful death it is. If those weren’t bad enough, something sinister has come to town and it wants nothing more than to hear Lorelei’s dying breath as it strangles it out of her. Thank goodness the gang has a supernatural champion. But what happens when the only being who can save them switches sides midstream? How can a group of misfits capture one of the most powerful beings ever created? And will they find out how to bring Jared back to them before it’s too late?



This is one series I am actually caught up in! Since it's just 1 book, it's not saying much. But yay! At least I am not behind! Cannot wait to read the next in Darynda's YA series!

    I've heard some really bad things about the first book so I'm not sure about this one. Still I'll wait and see the reviews for it. Great pick.

    I haven't seen it yet, but based on the title which is pretty crazy then the blurb which is great, it sounds like a fantastic read. Seems like plenty of chances for action, one-liners, and great characters. Excellent choice! Here is my WoW. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven. Thank you again for being on my site yesterday - I really enjoyed your interview. You have some comment love over there when you have some time to go check it out :D
