Waiting on Wednesday is the weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I am eagerly waiting for...
Frostbite: The Graphic Novel
(Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel 2)
by Richelle Mead (Author), Emma Vieceli (Illustrator), Leigh Dragoon
Release Date: April 14 2012
I spend about thirty minutes yesterday in utter bliss while reading Vampire Academy: The Graphic Novel 1. Gorgeous artwork, follows the book very closely, and omg how hot is it to see Dimitri shirtless! I love love LOVE how Emma draws him! Oh and Christian Ozera hasn't looked better. So for those in need of a V.A. fix while waiting for The Golden Lily, I seriously encourage you to buy this!
Summary from Goodreads:
It's winter break at St Vladimir's, and a massive Strigoi vampire attack has put the school on high alert.
This year's trip away from the academy to the wintery peaks of Idaho has suddenly become mandatory. But Rose's troubles seem to follow her wherever she goes - dealing with the pain of knowing that her relationship with her tutor Dimitri can never be, things get even more complicated when one of her closest friends admits his feelings for her.
The glittering winter landscape may create the illusion of safety but Rose - and her heart - are in more danger than she ever could have imagined...

I really liked The Goddess Test, and after reading this blurb for the next book I'll definitely be looking out for it! Haha poor Henry! I can't wait to read what happens.
Summary from Goodreads:
Kate Winters has won immortality.
But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.
Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.
As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.
Henry’s first wife, Persephone.
