Waiting on Wednesday was hosted by Jill atΒ Breaking the Spine, to spotlight upcoming releases that weβre eagerly anticipating.
Today my pick is House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas, out March 3 from Bloomsbury:
Bryce Quinlan had the perfect lifeβworking hard all day and partying all nightβuntil a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. Sheβll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths.
Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purposeβto assassinate his bossβs enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, heβs offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach.
As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent Cityβs underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passionβone that could set them both free, if theyβd only let it.
With unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and page-turning suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by #1Β New York TimesΒ bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedomβand the power of love.
I feel like a new Sarah J. Maas book is always exciting, but this first book in a new series really sounds like my kind of book. I love stories about demons and angels (hello, Supernatural!!) and I am really excited to get into this world and get to know these characters!
What are you waiting on this week?
