Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers a chance to spotlight upcoming books that we are dying to read.
This week I’m waiting on:
Releasing:
August 2011 by Amulet
Goodreads:
Jael Thompson has never really fit in. She’s changed schools too many times to count. The only family she’s ever known is her father, a bitter ex-priest who never lets her date and insists she attend the strictest Catholic school in Seattle. And her mother—well, she was a five thousand year old demon. That doesn’t exactly help.
But on her sixteenth birthday, her father gives her a present that brings about some unexpected changes. Some of the changes, like strange and wonderful powers and the cute skater boy with a knack for science, are awesome. But others, like the homicidal demon seeking revenge on her family? Not so much.
Steeped in mythology, this is an epic tale of a heroine who balances old world with new, science with magic, and the terrifying depths of the underworld with the ordinary halls of high school.
Why I'm waiting:
Have I mentioned how much I love mythology? No, well I’m quite in love. Also Jael sounds like a heroine that is going to be rocking it! I don’t usually read books by male authors so that’s another draw to this book as I want to expand my horizons in reading.
