Waiting on Wednesday

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. 

New York Times bestselling author Renée Ahdieh returns with the second installment of her new sumptuous, sultry and romantic series, The Beautiful.

Following the events of The Beautiful, Sébastien Saint Germain is now cursed and forever changed. The treaty between the Fallen and the Brotherhood has been broken, and war between the immortals seems imminent. The price of loving Celine was costly. But Celine has also paid a high price for loving Bastien.

Still recovering from injuries sustained during a night she can’t quite remember, her dreams are troubled. And she doesn’t know she has inadvertently set into motion a chain of events that could lead to her demise and unveil a truth about herself she’s not quite ready to learn.

Forces hiding in the shadows have been patiently waiting for this moment for centuries. And just as Bastien and Celine begin to uncover the danger around them, they learn their love could tear them apart.  

Naturally, this vampire lover is DYING to read The Damned! I was crushed when I heard it was being pushed back a month. I mean I get there are times when this has to happen, but still...it was agonizing for this particular release! Especially since I was already rejected again for a digital ARC on Edelweiss! Why must the world be against a VampireGirl getting to read a vampire book a few months early?! Why world, why?!!

And since I wrote this post early and am not sure what the state of things are...I realllllllly hope Amazon Prime gets back to delivering books on RELEASE DAY instead of DAYS after it because OMG I NEEEEEEEEEED this one YESTERYEAR!!
