Waiting on Wednesday (11)

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...
Kiss of Frost
(Mythos Academy 2)
Release Date: November 29 2011
Hurray for Mythos Academy sequel! I can’t wait to read more about Gwen and Logan! At the end of the first book their relationship was left in a bit of a tangle. But now they have sword practice together every single day, and you know what they say about exercise…it gets the blood running ;)

Summary from Goodreads
I’m Gwen Frost, a second-year warrior-in-training at Mythos Acad­emy, and I have no idea how I’m going to sur­vive the rest of the semes­ter. One day, I’m get­ting schooled in sword­play by the guy who broke my heart — the drop-dead gor­geous Logan who slays me every time. Then, an invis­i­ble archer in the Library of Antiq­ui­ties decides to use me for tar­get prac­tice. And now, I find out that some­one at the acad­emy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead. I’m afraid if I don’t learn how to live by the sword — with Logan’s help — I just might die by the sword …

Also eagerly waiting for...
Disenchanted
Release Date: January 2012
Oh! I found this by complete randomness when checking out the cover artist’s blog. I think it sounds really interesting. And I’m just a sucker for a good romantic story. I mean, just read that last sentence from the summary. Doesn’t it make you want to read the kind of hell and torture these poor characters will pass through while denying each other? Ahhh, such is love.

Summary from Goodreads
Some loves are meant to be…others are cursed.

Elizabeth Blackburn doesn’t believe in fate or the supernatural until she moves into Cliffside Manor and begins having nightmares about a woman who was murdered in the house.

Determined to unlock secrets that have remained hidden for centuries, Elizabeth is plunged into an otherworldly mystery that not even she can explain away, not to mention, her uncontrollable attraction to the former owner, Dorian Knight.

As the history of the Knight family curse begins to unravel, tensions heighten and old secrets turn deadly. Even though Dorian wants nothing to do with Elizabeth and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go...even if it kills her.

Review: Bloodspell by Amalie Howard


Bloodspell
Publisher: Langdon Street Press, 2011
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Buy: AmazonB&NTBD

The spell was simple...

Cruentus Protectum (Defend the Blood)

But what do you do if your blood is your enemy?

Victoria Warrick has always known she was different. An outcast at school, she is no stranger to adversity. But when she receives an old journal for her seventeenth birthday, nothing prepares her for the dark secrets it holds -- much less one that reveals she's a witch with unimaginable power.

What's more, when she meets the dazzling but enigmatic Christian Devereux, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. Enemies will hunt her. Friends will turn on her. The terrible curse that makes her blood run black will stop at nothing to control her. And Christian has a sinister secret of his own...

Without knowing whom to trust, can Victoria survive her blood's deadly desires? Or will she lose everything, including herself?
