Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear
Description:
Wish. Love. Desire. Live.
Sixteen-year-old Noli Braddock's hoyden ways land her in an abusive reform school far from home. On mid-summer's eve she wishes to be anyplace but that dreadful school. A mysterious man from the Realm of Faerie rescues her and brings her to the Otherworld, only to reveal that she must be sacrificed, otherwise, the entire Otherworld civilization will perish.
Why?
- Oooh, faerie land! Mysterious man! Sacrificing a woman to save all the Otherworld! Who wouldn't want to read this book?
- I love anything where a girl tries to escape her bad home/school life, but it back fires in some way. Will she live to learn a lesson? Who knows
- The title is kind of a play on words, I'm sure. We normally don't think of darkness as "innocent", so it makes me wonder what it might mean.
- The cover is kind of cool. Looking both magical (the sparkles) and steampunk at the same time.
Happy Reading!
