Waiting on Wednesday (9)

Updates: Take a look at my new Interview tab! That way it'll be easy for you all to see what some great authors are saying.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

One of my all time favorite reads this year was Everneath by Brodi Ashton. I loved the characters, I loved the world she built around these characters. With that intro, you will all be unsurprised at my choice for this week's WoW. Yes, it's the sequel, coming out next year, Everbound.



Everbound (Everneath, #2)Goodreads Book Description: Two months ago, the Tunnels of the underworld came for Nikki Beckett. That night, Nikki's boyfriend, Jack, made the ultimate sacrifice. All Nikki wants is to save Jack before it's too late. All Cole wants is to find his queen - and he thinks Nikki is the one. Both determined, both desperate, Nikki and Cole form a tense alliance, leading them on a dangerous journey to The Heart of The Everneath.

Why I Am Excited: I can't wait to see where these characters are going-- Nikki, Jack, and Cole are all equally fascinating to me. This feat is difficult for an author to do-- to have a great villain (that admit it, we're kind of rooting for), a terrific female protagonist, and a great love interest. And look at this gorgeous cover. I can't wait!

Why I am Worried: Second books are always hard. It's rare that if the first book made a huge impact that the second is going to be just as good. But Ashton is so good, that I'm sure she's up to the challenge!

    Thanks,

  5. Gosh, these covers are so gorgeous. I almost picked up Everneath once, but then didn't and it was one of the worst decisions ever. Still need to get my hands on it. Great pick!
