Waiting on Wednesday (1)

PhotobucketI think I'll jump on the 'Waiting on Wednesday' bandwagon this week, though I won't link my post to the actual host blog, Breaking the Spine.



Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1)This week, I'm anticipating the release of Bloodlines by Richelle Mead.  I LOVED her Vampire Academy series...the final book left me ecstatic for one guy, but heartbroken for the other.  Well, the guy left behind by Rose Hathaway is the love interest of Sydney the Alchemist in this new series.

BLOOD DOESN'T LIE

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding.

To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning.  (Goodreads)
The cover doesn't really do much for me, but I guess I'll just try not to look at it too much. ;)  Bloodlines will be released on August 23rd.

Welcome to the bandwagon! I was actually really surprised to see this on here. My pick was the same one this week. I've been talking to a couple people who have read it already and absolutely loved it, so I'm really excited. I do have to agree with you on the cover, though. I'll just cover it with a brown paper bag and doodle my own cover! ;)

Yeah, I was surprised to see that you chose the same book this week! How funny! The cover is pretty terrible, but I just won't look at it. I like your idea of doodling your own cover. ;)

Maybe I will literally make my cover lines of blood! How clever I am!

Lisa said...

I didn't realize it was going to be so closely linked to the Vampire Academy series...
