This week I’m waiting on:

Lenobia’s Vow by P.C. and Kristin Cast.

Lenobia’s Vow is the second novella of the House of Night Series. It’s set to be released on January 31.

Goodreads description: The second in the enthralling new mini-series of novellas from the #1 bestselling authors of the House of Night, Lenobia's Vow tells the gripping story behind the House of Night's enigmatic riding instructor – and one of Zoey’s closest allies against evil.

 The House of Night is an international publishing sensation; with almost 12 million books in print, and an incredible 120 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, the series has taken the world by storm. Now, the excitement continues as the Cast mother-daughter duo shares the back stories of a few of the House of Night's most important – and mysterious – characters. The second of the House of Night Novellas brings us Lenobia, the strong, beautiful horseback riding instructor, who guides Zoey through some of her darkest hours, and has a dark secret buried in her own past...

In a small southern town at the turn of the century, young Lenobia is developing into a beautiful young woman with ideas of her own. But when she is Marked as a fledgling vampyre, her world turns upside down, and she is drawn to the musical streets of New Orleans. There, she learns of the city’s dark underbelly, ruled by powerful black magic. As Lenobia experiences her first love – and loss – and discovers a passion for horses to sustain her, she must come face-to-face with Darkness itself. And she may not escape without scars.

Waiting On Wednesday (3)

I know it’s only Tuesday but I really, really, really want to share this with you guys!

Most of you have probably already read the House of Night series. I’ve re-read those books, like, so many times. I’m excited for the newest book, Destined, to come out on October 25 (I think that will be my WoW next week…), but what I really can’t wait for is the HoN comic book.



I love comic books/graphic novels. They’re really great if you’ve read the actual book first, because then whenever you want to re-read it, all you have to do is get the shortened version from the comic book.

I’m confused though. I saw the preview for volume #1 ( Click here ) and it apparently starts out at the beginning of Betrayed, which is the second book in the series. I don’t know why they don’t start with Marked.

Anyways, this comic comes out November 9, and Volume #2 comes out December 14. They’re both super cheap. As in, less than $5. This makes me happy.

You can pre-order here.

This week I'm waiting for Hades by Alexandra Adornetto, available in the U.S. on August 30th.
Hades (Halo, #2)Goodreads description:  Bethany and Xavier are even closer since battling Jake Thorn and his evil influence (in Halo) and Beth and her angel siblings must still protect Venus Cove from the Dark Forces.

When a party game – a séance – inadvertently releases Jake from the Underworld, he disguises himself and tricks Beth into taking a ride on his motorcycle. When the highway opens up and swallows them, Beth learns too late that she’s now a prisoner in hell. What happens to angels there? As her archangel brother, Gabriel, her sister Ivy, Xavier, and her best friend, Molly search for her, Beth must weigh Jake’s bargaining for her freedom: one night with him, and she will be released back to Earth.
Can Jake be trusted in this wager? And is he also using Beth to engineer the fall of the archangel Gabriel? Xavier has already lost one love – when Jake tricks him into thinking that Bethany is dead, his grief and anger result in a betrayal that will leave Bethany – and readers – wondering if he is so good after all.

It will be up to Beth to use everything she’s learned about her powers as an angel – and about love – to free herself and those she loves from the clutches of Hades.

Right now I'm re-reading Halo, the first in this series. Which means a review is soon to come.
