“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm picking:
The Shadow Prince
(Into the Dark #1) by
Bree Despain
Expected publication:
March 11th 2014
by EgmontUSA
From Goodreads:
Haden Lord, the
disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world to
entice a girl into returning with him to the land of the dead. Posing
as a student at Olympus Hills High—a haven for children of the rich and
famous—Haden must single out the one girl rumored to be able to restore
immortality to his race.
Daphne Raines has dreams much bigger
than her tiny southern Utah town, so when her rock star dad suddenly
reappears, offering her full tuition to Olympus Hills High’s prestigious
music program, she sees an opportunity to catch the break she needs to
make it as a singer. But upon moving into her estranged father’s mansion
in California, and attending her glamorous new school, Daphne soon
realizes she isn’t the only student in Olympus who doesn’t quite belong.
Haden
and Daphne—destined for each other—know nothing of the true stakes
their fated courtship entails. As war between the gods brews, the
teenagers’ lives collide. But Daphne won’t be wooed easily and when it
seems their prophesied link could happen, Haden realizes something he
never intended—he’s fallen in love. Now to save themselves, Haden and
Daphne must rewrite their destinies. But as their destinies change, so
do the fates of both their worlds
Why I'm Waiting:
I really enjoyed The Savage Grace series by Bree Despain, so I look forward to reading this one. It looks unique and different.
I've only read the one book by the author and I thought it was pretty interesting. This sounds pretty good as well :) Great pick!

Oh very nice! I read an ARC of this one on Edelweiss and it was awesome! At the time, it was a free--ie, no request needed--read. Not sure if it still is or not.
