Waiting on Wednesday #16


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Redemption by Veronique Launier
Release Date: September 8, 2012

Guillaume: For five hundred years I've existed as a gargoyle. Perched atop an old Montreal church, I've watched idly as humanity wanders by. With the witch Marguerite gone, there is no one left to protect, nothing to care about. I never planned to feel again. But then a girl released me from my stone restraints, allowing me to return as a seventeen-year-old human boy. I must find out all I can about this girl's power . . .
Aude: Getting attacked twice in as many days is strange in itself, but even stranger is the intriguing guy I keep running into. There's something so familiar about him, like a primal drum rhythm from my dreams. But spending time together only raises more questions--about my heritage, a native Mohawk prophecy . . . and an unearthly magic threatening our city..
I saw this on NetGalley not too long ago and I thought it was such a cool concept. It sounds really interesting and I also find the cover to be kinda cool, too! Such a shame it’s release isn’t until September. I guess I’ll have to wait a few more months before making my own opinions about it.
What are you Waiting On?

  2. I'm not a fan of that cover, but I like the idea of Mohawk identity making an appearance. Also: set in Canada? All kinds of bonus points. Great pick!

    If you'd like, you can check out my WoW here.

  3. I remember seeing this cover somewhere, maybe on Netgalley too, but I never read the synopsis. But now that I read it, it sounds really interesting and unique, so I might just have to check it out.
    Great pick!
