Waiting on Wednesday: A Darkness Strange & Lovely, by Susan Dennard

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine to spotlight upcoming book releases that we're excited for. My pick this week:


Expected release: July 23, 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
Format: Hardcover, 416 pages

Goodreads description:
Following an all-out battle with the walking Dead, the Spirit Hunters have fled Philadelphia, leaving Eleanor alone to cope with the devastating aftermath. But there’s more trouble ahead—the evil necromancer Marcus has returned, and his diabolical advances have Eleanor escaping to Paris to seek the help of Joseph, Jie, and the infuriatingly handsome Daniel once again. When she arrives, however, she finds a whole new darkness lurking in this City of Light. As harrowing events unfold, Eleanor is forced to make a deadly decision that will mean life or death for everyone.


I adored Something Strange & Deadly!!! Read my review here, if you like.  At the end of it, Eleanor really was in a bad spot, and apparently she's left to her own devices. I can't wait to see how she masters that, and how the story will unfold in Paris! Oh, and there's of course Daniel, and their awesome banter. And Susan Dennard once posted a teaser involving an airship!! Plus, look at that stunning cover. Notice the subtle differences to the first one. If you'd read it, you know why she has her arm behind her back...

What do you think of my pick? Are you also impatient? What did you pick this week?

  10. I'm up and down on this one. I liked the first one, but the ending frustrated me. I'll still read this one, but probably not right when it comes out.

    Thanks for stopping by my WOW at YA Sisterhood.
