Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's WoW selection is...
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore. From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before. ~From GoodReads
Why I'm Waiting ~
I"ve loved all of Stiefvater's books that I've read. She has a writing style all her own. I'm excited she's writing a new series.
Expected publication: September 18th 2012 by Scholastic Press
I love Maggie Stiefvator too! I haven't read her fae series yet though but I'm looking forward to this one. It sounds really different.

This does sound great - very unique. I've only just read Shiver, which I really loved.
ReplyDeleteI like Stiefvater's style too, would love to see her take on something a little darker and this sounds like it would be. Nice and creepy works for me!

I'm not a huge fan of the The Wolves of Mercy Falls series and I own Scorpio Races but I haven't read it yet. I guess I'm still a little bias because of the Shiver books that I haven't read Scorpio Races and Lament but I'll keep a look out for this one. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for another book by her! And this one sounds awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this one too! I'm having some trouble with the werewolves series but I'll get through it eventually, and this actually sounds more interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so good. I can't wait to read more from Maggie Stiefvater. Great pick!

I'm waiting for this one too! I wasn't the biggest fan of the Wolves of Mercy Falls series, but I can't deny that her writing style is lovely and I just hope I'll enjoy the story itself more with this one. Such a cool cover too! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm a new follower here! One of my friends tweeted about one of your giveaways. Nice to meet you!
I can't wait to read The Raven Boys. It sounds so so good and that cover is too awesome for words.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little nervous for this one. I love her writing.. but I really need to be in the mood for it. I still havent' gotten through forever. I had to put it down. I think that's more just because I'm still scared I will hate the ending though.
ReplyDeleteI love Maggie Stiefvater novels, and this one sounds like it is going to be another awesome one! Thanks for sharing, amazing choice!
