Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.

The third novel in Serena Valentino's (Fairest of All, Beast Within) "VILLAINS" trilogy, featuring the story of the Little Mermaid from the perspective of the sea witch Ursula.

I still need to read the first two of the trilogy. I guess Maleficent had just been a movie adaptation kind of read. Still fits into this series in a way, though it was written by another author if I do recall! Still, this series will be fun! I just know it!

TITLE: Poor Unfortunate Soul
AUTHOR: Serena Valentino
PUBLISHER: Disney Press
GENRE: Fairy Tale Retelling YA(ish?)
RELEASE DATE: July 26,2016

Lana used to know what was real.

That was before when her life was small and quiet.
Her golden step-brother, Ben, was alive, she could only dream about bonfiring with the populars, their wooded island home was idyllic, she could tell the truth from lies, and Ben’s childhood stories were firmly in her imagination.

Then came after.

After has Lana boldly kissing her crush, jumping into the water from too high up, and living with nerve and mischief. But after also has horrors, deaths that only make sense in fairy tales, and terrors from a past Lana thought long forgotten: Love, blood, and murder.

I really enjoyed her first thriller, so I'm excited for her next one! Plus this cover is creepy! And I like the creepy!
