Button by Bewitched Bookworms

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases  that we, book bloggers, can't wait to read.


The book I’m waiting for this week is:

Blood Magic

Tessa Gratton

April 26th, 2011

Random House Books for Young Readers

368 pgs.

First in Blood Magic Series

From Goodreads:


For Nick Pardee and Silla Kennicot, the cemetery is the center of everything.

Nick is a city boy angry at being forced to move back to the nowhere town of Yaleylah, Missouri where he grew up. He can’t help remembering his mom and the blood magic she practiced – memories he’s tried for five years to escape. Silla, though, doesn’t want to forget; her parents’ apparent murder-suicide left her numb and needing answers. When a book of magic spells in her dad’s handwriting appears on her doorstep, she sees her chance to unravel the mystery of their deaths.

Together they plunge into the world of dark magic, but when a hundred-year-old blood witch comes hunting for the bones of Silla’s parents and the spell book, Nick and Silla will have to let go of everything they believe about who they are, the nature of life and death, and the deadly secrets that hide in blood.


Why I can’t wait:


Two teens lose everything and have to investigate their own beginnings. How could you not be curious and how gorgeous is this cover?
