Waiting on Wednesday: A Witch's Handbook of Kisses and Curses by Molly Harper

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:

Nola Leary would have been content to stay in Kilcairy, Ireland, healing villagers at her family’s clinic with a mix of magic and modern medicine. But a series of ill-timed omens and a deathbed promise to her grandmother have sent her on a quest to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to secure her family’s magical potency for the next generation. Her supernatural task? To unearth four artifacts hidden by her grandfather before a rival magical family beats her to it.

Complication One: Her grandfather was Mr. Wainwright and the artifacts are lost somewhere in what is now Jane Jameson's book shop. 

Complication Two: her new neighbor, Jed Trudeau, who keeps turning up half naked at the strangest times, a distraction Nola doesn't need. And teaming up with a real-life Adonis is as dangerous as it sounds, especially when he’s got the face of an angel and the abs of a washboard—can Nola complete her mission before falling completely under his spell?

Coming out on May 28, 2013


Why?

1. I love Molly Harper's writing!  It always has me rolling on the floor laughing.
2. Let's be honest, the book sounds pretty interesting... I mean, it sounds like it might be a vampire/witch thing, but what if it is something else?  hmmm... Could be opening up a whole can of supernatural worms here!
3. Though the cover does look a bit like a penny bodice ripper, it does have something to it... kind of mysterious and knowing at the same time.  I like it!

So what are you waiting for?


Happy Reading!
