Can't Wait 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.

 

Book 2 in The Malice Compendium series by New York Times bestselling author Megan Shepherd, featuring dark magic and family secrets with a contemporary horror tone.

Immediately following the events of Malice House (Book 1), Haven and her newly found sister are on the road, trying to discover the contours of her family's curse. But while they hunt, they are also hunted by the most vile creature from the previous book: a vile, aging salesman who can compel people to do anything with but a whisper and who wants to rewrite the entire world in his image.

 

 

 

 

 

I still need to read the first book of this series that I didn't even realize was turning into a series! Lol! I was excited for Megan's first adult book and horror at that!

The much-anticipated continuation to Scions, the prequel to the Starcrossed series, the #1 international bestseller.

Presumed dead, Daphne and Ajax try to steal away what happiness they can living as Outcasts, when they discover that the Fates aren’t done with them yet. Ajax may have escaped death, but his fate is sealed, and it’s only a matter of time before it catches up with him.

Like mice in a maze, they are led back to New York City where Daphne must find a way to keep the Fates from killing Ajax. But returning to the city puts them both in grave danger, and they must seek the help in the unlikeliest of places. Daedelus, the reluctant Heir to the House of Athens, and Adonis, a prince of the House of Rome, both of whom are their mortal enemies.

But their biggest challenge will come from someone who loves them both. Tantalus, who has been busy plotting to start the war he knows he is destined to win, but who tragically finds himself caught between his devotion to his brother, and his obsession with Daphne.

 

 

I still need to read the book that came out prior to this one, but from the looks of things that one jumps back to present day while this one will jump back to the past with Daphne and Ajax just falling in love and such! I feel a bit confused skimming some of the blurbs but I'll get around to it eventually! Lol!
