Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that I am eagerly anticipating.
This week's Waiting on Wednesday pick is: Jealousy by Lili St. Crow (Strange Angels #3)
Publication Date: July 29, 2010
Synopsis:
Dru Anderson might finally be safe. She’s at the largest Schola on the continent, and beginning to learn what it means to be svetocha–half vampire, half human, and all deadly. If she survives her training, she will be able to take her place in the Order, holding back the vampires and protecting the oblivious normal people.
But a web of lies and betrayals is still closing around her, just when she thinks she can relax a little. Her mentor Christophe is missing, her almost-boyfriend is acting weird, and the bodyguards she’s been assigned seem to know much more than they should. And then there’s the vampire attacks, the strange nightly visits, and the looks everyone keeps giving her. As if she should know something.
Or as if she’s in danger.
Someone high up in the Order is a traitor. They want Dru dead–but first, they want to know what she remembers of the night her mother died. Dru doesn’t want to remember, but it looks like she might have to–especially since once Christophe returns, he’ll be on trial for his life. The only person who can save him is Dru.
The problem is, once she remembers everything, she may not want to…

I just finished reading Betrayals, the second book in the series, and I thought Jealousy was already released, but it looks like its date was pushed back. The last book sort of ended on a cliffhanger, so I cannot wait to see what happens in this book.
If you want to share your Waiting on Wednesday, please feel free to leave a comment, and I will check it out.

happy reading!
Oh my gosh, I have to read Jealousy!!! Betrayals was awesome because, hello, Christophe and Dru hug!!!! :D :D :D Not as good as a kiss, but still. Maybe there's one in Jealousy!!!
ReplyDeleteKirthi, I'm hoping for a kiss between Christophe and Dru, too!
ReplyDeleteThe cover alone made me want to buy this book when I first saw it--then I realized it's the third book in the series. Still love the cover though and one of these days, I'm going to pick up the series. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteIf you have time, check out my pick.

I love this series! Can't wait for the next one :)
ReplyDeleteMust disagree with previous commenters though, I'm a Graves girl XD
Oh, gotta love the paranormals! Sounds like a great series. I haven't picked this one up yet. Unfortunately, my pictures weren't coming up, so I couldn't see the cover. I'll try reloading. But thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThis series is on my wishlist :)
