Waiting on Wednesday 8

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. where we feature upcoming releases that we are highly anticipating.

I've never been truly sure what to think of the Blue Bloods series but I cant stop reading them.

To fulfill the Van Alen Legacy, Schuyler travels to Alexandria to search for Catherine of Siena and the Gate of Promise. But Schuyler quickly discovers that everything she believed about the Gate to be wrong. Meanwhile, Jack makes the difficult decision to return to New York to face his twin and former bondmate, Mimi. But instead of a bitter reunion, he is faced with a choice for which there is no good option

Mimi, with a most unexpected travel companion in Oliver Hazard-Perry, jets off to Egypt, too, to search for Kingsley Martin, her long lost love. With all roads leading to Hell, Mimi learns that not all love stories have happy endings. But she'll have to put her own feelings aside if she's going to save her crumbling Coven

I'm sorry its late! I wasn't around a computer at all yesterday.


Ironside and Valiant By Holly Black

I'm really excited to read these. I love the darker take on faeries that both Holly Black and Melissa Marr use. It make them and their world all that much more intriguing and tempting.

Summary:

On the night of Skye's seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites--like fire and ice--Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye's life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move--only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can't help falling for, and Devin, who she can't stay away from, the consequences of Skye's choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.(Goodreads)

Review: Personal Demons By Lisa Desrochers

Summary: 

Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance—-even her closest friends—-and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can’t seem to stay away from him. 

What she doesn’t know is that Luc is on a mission. He’s been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie’s soul. It should be easy—-all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn’t stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can’t be far behind. And sure enough, it’s not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn’t long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie’s soul.

But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.(Goodreads)

Review and Rating: 4.5

I really liked this book but I had to take of a little for the (few) predictable parts. Yes this is a book about angels and demons but its not like the other cliche plots currently out there. The characters are well written and have depth. Frannie is realistic and strong unlike a lot of other female lead characters and Luc is written with a realistic male voice which is quite rare and it makes his character all that much more enjoyable. This book is hot, engrossing, and well paced leaving you unwilling to put it down. It will pull you in from page one and have you dying to read the sequel just like me!
