Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we discuss what books we can't wait for! My pick for today is:
Hexed by Michelle Krys
Publisher: Random House Children's
Expected Publication Date: June 10, 2014
Synopsis from Goodreads:
If high school is all
about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. Sure, her quirky mom
owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won’t stop trying to be her friend,
but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a
social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. Who wouldn’t
want to be her?
Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it’s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie’s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn’t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that’s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she’s a witch too.
Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie’s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life—and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.

Why I'm Waiting:
I totally forgot to put this on last week's Top Ten Tuesday which was about 2014 debuts I'm excited about. *facepalm* A book about witches and sorcerers. Yes, this sounds like something I would love very much. What does the Bible do? What makes it so important? And who is this sexy guy, Bishop?? I hope he's swoony. I feel like the main character is going to be funny as well. Maybe that's because I follow the author on Twitter and she is seriously hysterical, but I think there's going to be some pretty witty, laugh out loud moments in this book. Also, does that cover model not look like Taylor Swift? Another one to add to Brittany's Celebrity Dopplegangers on YA Covers post!
Have you heard of this one? Are you excited to find out who this Bishop character is? What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
Sounds really interesting! Would love to see how The Bible plays out, haha! And it's true! She does look like Taylor Swift. I saw the dopplegangers post, and was amazed at how many celeb look-a-likes there were on YA covers.
ReplyDeleteI know right?? Are publishers planning that? Lol.
DeleteI'm really looking forward to this book too...it sounds so good and the fact that the author is so funny on Twitter makes me want to read it even more. The synopsis already makes it sound like it's full of humor. Great pick! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteYes! And we both love witty, snarky MCs. Hopefully this one delivers!
DeleteThat is totally a witchy T. Swift on the cover. And I am so looking forward to Hexed and also now to following Michelle Krys on twitter. :)
