 "Waiting On" Wednesday 
 is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine 
that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My next eagerly anticipated book is:

The Beautiful Ashes
Broken Destiny #1
by Jeaniene Frost
Paperback, 304 page
Expected publication: August 26th 2014 by Harlequin HQN  

In a world of shadows, anything is possible.  Except escaping your fate.

Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.

Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…

My Thoughts
I love Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series (When does Ian get his own book?) and Night Prince series (Vlad...yum), so I am looking forward to this completely new series of hers.  It is labeled as new adult rather than adult, so I'm excited to see what this one is about.  And I love the cover!

    Great choice! I am actually reading Jeaniene Frost for the first time. I'm listening to the audio book to Halfway to the Grave. I absolutely love it. Bel and Shel received The Beautiful Ashes at RT but there was a major mishap with the printing (the publisher submitted the wrong version for the printing of the ARC) so they returned it and are awaiting the updated copies.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Jeanine Frost is awesome. I hope you love it when it comes out. I have read the first two books in her Night Huntress series and loved them.

    In the beginning, I enjoyed reading the Night Huntress series, but burnt out pretty quickly. This one sounds really good though.

    I like the cover... except for that hair over her right eye. It's kind of wonky... I couldn't really look at anything else.

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

By
One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
