Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings,
to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet
to read. It's
based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Summer camp is a traditional teenage rite of passage, but when you add supernatural powers to the typically high dosage of adolescent hormones - you get an even more combustible mix. Sixteen-year-old werewolf twins Kate and Logan Danvers are none too thrilled at being shipped off to a supernatural youth leadership conference in West Virginia.
From the moment they arrive at the camp, the twins sense something is off and they react in their usual manner - Logan reserving judgement and surveying the setup, while Kate charges forward determined to get answers. Kate and Logan quickly ascertain that most of the conference attendees have already formed hostile factions, leaving the twins and a few other misfits to band together.
What seems like teen hormones in overdrive becomes something much more dangerous, even deadly. Add in a strange magic-warded cabin in the woods and a local history rife with curses and macabre legends, and it becomes clear this was a really, really bad place to build a camp for teenage supernaturals.
Can't wait to read this one as I never did read it when it was a serial novel. I'm terrible about reading those, plus as I mentioned before, I like to be able to read everything all together and not have other reads in between or at the same time. So basically, I've been waiting for this one without even realizing it! Lol.
TITLE: Wolf's Bane
AUTHOR: Kelley Armstrong
PUBLISHER: Kla Frickle Inc
GENRE: YA Paranormal
RELEASE DATE: October 15, 2019
When Catherine Cooper settles in the Hamptons on the heels of a nasty split from her long-time husband, the luxurious coastal community seems like the perfect place to get back on track in style. But as Cat soon discovers, starting fresh on the East End can be deadly...
Cat Cooper never imagined selling off her in-demand marketing firm would mean going from the pinnacle of success to a walking hot mess. Gouged from an unexpected divorce, Cat suddenly finds herself struggling through a new career as a business-savvy life coach for the hopelessly adrift in East Hampton and contending with Heather Holland--a spiteful neighbor who will do anything to bully her out of town. But her second act may very well continue behind bars when Heather's dead body turns up next to a shattered punchbowl...and Cat's pinned as the murderer.
But given Heather's mean girl reputation, any one of the guests at her invite-only luncheon could have committed the crime before planting Cat's punchbowl next to the body. Determined not to trade designer duds for an unflattering prison jumpsuit, Cat sides with her best friend Gilley to scour chic boutiques and oceanfront mansions in search of the criminal who framed her. With a stoic detective looking to get her in cuffs, it's up to Cat to catch the real killer and land on her feet once again...
I somehow missed news of this spinoff! And even better, it's combining both Psychic Eye and Ghost Hunter with Cat and Gilley and I am SO excited!! Though I think I ought to get caught up with Psychic Eye before diving into this one right away...just in case!

I am not familiar with either of these books, but I have seen Armstrong all over. I hope both books are winners for you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Wolf's Bane, but I loved Armstrong's Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising series so I might have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteBoth are new to me, but I hope you enjoy them! They have such lovely covers!

I'm not good at keeping up with serial novels either. I really like what I've read by Armstrong so far and think I would like Wolf's Name. Coached to Death sounds like a lot of fun. I have a soft spot for cozies. :-) I hope you enjoy both of these, Jessica!
