"Waiting On" Wednesday (#50) Breaking Butterflies by M. Anjelais

“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:

Breaking Butterflies by M. Anjelais

Expected publication: August 26th 2014 by Chicken House  

From Goodreads: 
The closest he will ever come to happiness is when he's hurting her. Will she let him? A beautiful and twisted story of first love and innocence lost -- written when the author was just eighteen.

Sphinxie and Cadence. Promised to each other in childhood. Drawn together again as teens. Sphinxie is sweet, compassionate, and plain. Cadence is brilliant, charismatic. Damaged. And diseased. When they were kids, he scarred her with a knife. Now, as his illness progresses, he becomes increasingly demanding. She wants to be loyal -- but fears for her life. Only the ultimate sacrifice will give this love an ending.

Why I'm Waiting:
This looks like a tragically beautiful story.  What will the ultimate sacrifice be?

This week's Question:

Have any pets? Tell us or show us!

Why, yes, I do have pets. I have two elderly dogs, one of which is pretty sick right now. They were my babies for so long, I know I'm going to miss them terribly when they leave us.  It is a huge challenge to take care of their extra needs along with the baby and all his needs.  But I do love them.
