Waiting on Wednesday {7}

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by the lovelies at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that are eagerly anticipated.

Title: Antigoddess

Author: Kendare Blake

Publication Date: September 10, 2013

Old Gods never die…

Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

The Goddess War is about to begin.

 
This seems wonderfully right up my alley!  I've loved the various book based off of mythology that I've read: action, modern, ancient, romance, thriller... They usually have a little bit of everything, but even if they don't I tend to enjoy it.  September has a lot of good looking releases, and this is just one of the many!

 Title: Dearly, Beloved {Gone With The Respiration #2}

Author: Lia Habel

Publication date: September 25, 2012

No description out as of yet, but I will be updating this with one as soon as its available.  I just had to share the cover with all my readers {Lia Habel posted it on her blog last week}!  I loved the first book, Dearly, Departed {you can read my review here}.  It was absolutely wonderful, and not at all what I expected.  I cannot wait to read the second one!

Title: The Mephisto Kiss

Author: Trinity Faegan

Publication Date: September 25, 2012

The eyes never lie. No one’s eyes are darker than Eryx. Not even the Devil’s.

When Jax and Sasha first see Jordan Ellis, they know she is no ordinary teenager. She’s the daughter of the President after all, but she’s also Anabo – a descendant of Eve.

What they don’t know is that Eryx plans to kidnap Jordan and force President Ellis to pledge his soul. If Eryx’s plot succeeds, the consequences would be catastrophic.

But the Mephisto brothers do know about Jordan’s secret identity. And for one of them, she could be the match that leads to their soul’s salvation.

Now it’s a desperate race against time to save Jordan and prevent Eryx’s haunting eyes from discovering her true identity.

Okay, I ate up The Mephisto Covenant.  I thought it was a stand-alone when I bought it.  I need this book now.  Also, isn't the cover gorgeous?  It was revealed Friday on Cari's Book Blog {hey, nice name! *winks*}, and I like to share the covers I anxiously await with my readers.  You can go to this post on Trinity Faegen's blog and read an excerpt!  I know I don't really get ARCs {ever}, but I think I might die if Trinity decided to send one of this book my way *huge wink*.

 Title: The Girl in the Clockwork Collar

Author: Kady Cross

Publication date: May 22nd, 2012

In New York City, 1897, life has never been more thrilling - or dangerous.

Sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne and her "straynge band of mysfits" have journeyed from London to America to rescue their friend Jasper, hauled off by bounty hunters. But Jasper is in the clutches of a devious former friend demanding a trade-the dangerous device Jasper stole from him...for the life of the girl Jasper loves.

One false move from Jasper and the strange clockwork collar around Mei's neck tightens. And tightens.

I enjoyed the first of this series, although I think I might have liked The Strange Case of Finley Jane a little more than the longer first book... which I'm hoping means with each of these books, I will be enjoying the author's style more and more.  The first book seemed a bit too predictable for me, and I enjoy being shocked in a book.  I don't think there were a whole lot of "no way!" moments for me while reading The Girl in the Steel Corset, and I'm hoping this one has much, much more!  Oh, and I love Jasper in this, partially because I get the mental picture of Jackson Rathbone when I read about him...

Waiting on Wednesday: Destined

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by the lovelies at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that are eagerly anticipated.

Title: Destined

Author: Aprilynne Pike

Publication date: May 1st, 2012

Laurel now knows the truth: Yuki is a rare Winter faerie, the most powerful—and deadly—of all, and she is working with Klea to conquer and destroy Avalon. With Tamani, David, and Chelsea by her side, Laurel prepares for a fight she never thought she would have to face.

Filled with heart-pounding action, sweeping romance, and higher stakes at every turn, Destined is the series conclusion that readers have been clamoring for—with a twist that will leave them breathless.

Tamani looked at her gravely, and reached up to touch her hair behind her ear. He hesitated for an instant, then his hands found the sides of her face, pulling her to him. He didn't kiss her, just held her face to his, their foreheads resting together, their noses almost touching.

She hated how much it felt like good-bye.

I've been reading these since the first one came out and I stumbled across it in Borders.  When the last one came out, I'm not sure why, but I was under the impression that it was a trilogy.  However, I know that this is the last installment, and I'm so looking forward to finding out how this all ends!

I've been waiting to read this since I first finished Bumped, which feels like such a long time ago!

Title: Thumped

Author: Megan McCafferty

Publication date: April 24th, 2012

It’s been thirty-five weeks since twin sisters Harmony and Melody went their separate ways. And now their story has become irresistible: twins separated at birth, each due to deliver twins…on the same day!

Married to Ram and living in Goodside, Harmony spends her time trying to fit back into the community she once believed in. But she can’t forget about Jondoe, the guy she fell for under the strangest of circumstances.

To her adoring fans, Melody has achieved everything: a major contract and a coupling with the hottest bump prospect around. But this image is costing her the one guy she really wants.

The girls’ every move is analyzed by millions of fans eagerly counting down to “Double Double Due Date.” They’re two of the most powerful teen girls on the planet, and they could do only one thing to make them even more famous:

Tell the truth.

I can't wait to pick this up the day it comes out.  Or maybe on my trip to Portland shortly thereafter, at the amazing Powells bookstore.  I am saving up all my pennies from here on out {and before} with the notion just to splurge on books...

I read the first of this series last year, and have been dying to know what's going to happen to Romeo...

Title: Romeo Redeemed

Author: Stacey Jay

Publication date: October 9th, 2012

Cursed to live out eternity in his rotted corpse, Romeo, known for his ruthless, cutthroat ways, is given the chance to redeem himself by traveling back in time to save the life of Ariel Dragland. Unbeknownst to her, Ariel is important to both the evil Mercenaries and the love-promoting Ambassadors and holds the fate of the world in her hands. Romeo must win her heart and make her believe in love, turning her away from her darker potential before his work is discovered by the Mercenaries. While his seduction begins as yet another lie, it soon becomes his only truth. Romeo vows to protect Ariel from harm, and do whatever it takes to win her heart and soul. But when Ariel is led to believe his love is a deception, she becomes vulnerable to Mercenary manipulation, and her own inner darkness may ultimately rip them apart.

I really enjoyed Juliet Immortal, and have been looking forward to reading the follow up to it, hoping the author had plans for one... and now that I know she does {even having a synopsis!}, October seems so far away...
