"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
The book I'm waiting on this Wednesday is Strange and Ever After by Susan Dennard.
Release Date: 7/22/14
Synopsis:
In the conclusion to the trilogy that Publishers Weekly called “a roaring—and addictive—gothic world,” Eleanor Fitt must control her growing power, face her feelings for Daniel, and confront the evil necromancer Marcus...all before it’s too late.
He took her brother, he took her mother, and now, Marcus has taken her good friend Jie. With more determination than ever to bring this sinister man to justice, Eleanor heads to the hot desert streets of nineteenth-century Egypt in hopes of ending this nightmare. But in addition to her increasingly tense relationships with Daniel, Joseph, and her demon, Oliver, Eleanor must also deal with her former friend, Allison, who has curiously entangled herself in Eleanor’s mission.
With the rising dead chomping at her every move and Jie’s life hanging in the balance, Eleanor is convinced that her black magic will see her through to the bitter end. But there will be a price. Though she and the Spirit Hunters have weathered every battle thus far, there will be consequences to suffer this time—the effects of which will be irreversible. And when it’s over, only some will be able to live a strange and ever after.
Susan Dennard will leave readers breathless and forever changed in the concluding pages of this riveting ride.

Why I'm Waiting:
I have absolutely adored this series. It's a unique concept, and Dennard is an amazing author. I love all of the characters and can't wait to see what is in store for them in this finale. Also, the covers for this series are gorgeous! I can't wait to add this to my collection.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I read the first book in the series and I have mixed feelings about it but I really liked how it ended so I do want to pick up the next installment. I think I will soon. Maybe before Strange and Ever After comes out. :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone is jumping on the ball gown cover bandwagon! I love it though! This does look interesting, but I haven't read the other books in the series. Thanks for sharing :)
