Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

My choice for this week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Paperback, 320 pages
Expected publication: March 5th 2013 by St. Martin's Press

Synopsis From Goodreads:

The normal part of Lorelei MacAlister’s life didn’t just slip away quietly the day Jared Kovach came to town. Nope. The normal part of her life shattered. It exploded. It burst into a gazillion shards of fleeting light.

It went out with a bang.

Goodbye normal.

Hello dark and eerie.

While her best friend, Brooklyn, is focusing all of her energy on helping Lorelei hone her abilities, Lorelei is dealing with the reality that Satan’s second in command has taken up residence inside her body. Oh, and the fact that she has a crush on the Angel of Death. But what a beautiful death it is. If those weren’t bad enough, something sinister has come to town and it wants nothing more than to hear Lorelei’s dying breath as it strangles it out of her. Thank goodness the gang has a supernatural champion. But what happens when the only being who can save them switches sides midstream? How can a group of misfits capture one of the most powerful beings ever created? And will they find out how to bring Jared back to them before it’s too late?

I posted my review of the first book in this series, Death and The Girl Next Door, a few days ago. I really want to read Death, Doom, and Detention to find out what is going on with this series. The first book went by so fast, and there was so much going on, that it was confusing at times. I'm hoping the second and third books are better.

What are you waiting on this week?

  4. I read Death and the Girl Next Door last year. I can't say I was in love with it, but I do want to know what is going to happen next. Especially with the way the first book ended.

  5. I really love Darynda Jones but I have yet to try her YA series. Sounds like a lot of fun though. :) Thanks for stopping by!
