Waiting on Wednesday
A weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that people are eagerly anticipating.
My choice for Waiting on Wednesday this week is:
The Winner's Crime
by Marie Rutkoski
Publication: March
3rd 2015 by Farrar Straus Giroux, 352 pages
Book two of the
dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of
country for love.
The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.
As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

Miss Mayhem
by Rachel Hawkins
Publication: April
7th 2015 by Putnam Juvenile, 352 pages
Life is almost back to normal for Harper
Price. The Ephors have been silent after their deadly attack at Cotillion
months ago, and best friend Bee has returned after a mysterious disappearance.
Now Harper can return her focus to the important things in life: school,
canoodling with David, her nemesis-turned-ward-slash-boyfie, and even competing
in the Miss Pine Grove pageant.
Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. The Ephors have decided they’d rather train David than kill him. The catch: Harper has to come along for the ride, but she can’t stay David’s Paladin unless she undergoes an ancient trial that will either kill her . . . or connect her to David for life.
