Waiting on Wednesday: A Thief of Nightshade by J. S. Chancellor

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: 

Description:


Avalar isn't real—at least it wasn't supposed to be. Aubrey never expected to fall in love with and marry her graduate writing professor, Jullian. His life's work, a grim fantasy titled A Thief of Nightshade encompassed everything Aubrey hated about fairy tales and make-believe. After Jullian goes missing and is eventually presumed dead, Aubrey discovers just how make-believe the world of Nightshade is. Not only is Jullian alive and well in Avalar, he's at the mercy of the Dark Fae, condemned to a fate worse than death, with no memory of Aubrey or his time in her world. In order to save him, she'll have to confront more than just the demons in her past, but the very real ones that await her in a place she never thought could exist. All of them will do everything in their power to stop her.


Coming out on May 1, 2012


Why?

1. Hmmm, fairy tales?  Hell yes!
2. I like how this is set up not only as a dark fairy tale, but it is going to be fun to see if there is a way to resolve it with a "happily ever after".  
3. Look at that cover!  It is mysteriously dark and the fairy is beautiful.  

What are you waiting for?  

Happy Reading!
