Waiting on Wednesday x3

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I've been a fail doing WoW so I decided to pick three books this week.

Jessica Rules the Dark Side (Jessica, #2)
Author: Beth Fantaskey
Other books in the series: Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side
Release Date: January 9 2012
Synopsis: When Jessica Packwood found out she was a Romanian vampire princess, she had the shock of her teenage life. Turns out that was the easy part. Now, married to Prince Lucius Vladescu, she has to claim her throne and convince a vampire nation she’s fit to be their queen. But Jess can’t even order a decent meal from her castle’s Romanian staff, let alone deal with devious undead subjects who would love to see her fail. 

And when Lucius is accused of murdering a vampire Elder and imprisoned without the blood he needs, Jessica finds herself alone, fighting for both their survivals. 

Desperate to clear her husband’s name and win his release, Jess enlists the help of her best friend Mindy Stankowicz and Lucius’s mysterious Italian cousin, Raniero Lovatu. But both of them are keeping some dark secrets. Can Jess figure out who to trust – and how to rise to power – before she loses everything, including the vampire she loves? 

Full of romance, mystery, and danger, the highly anticipated sequel to Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side shows that sometimes a princess has to earn her “happily ever after” – with a \
sharpened stake in hand.

Doesn't that sound amazing? Jessica's guide was laugh-out-loud funny and Lucius is so sexy so I'm super excited to read this. But I can't believe we have to wait till 2012 to get it!




 Born at Midnight (A Shadow Falls Novel)


Author: C.C. Hunter
Release Date: March 29 2011
Synopsis: Don’t miss this spectacular new series that will steal your heart and haunt your dreams,  Welcome to Shadow Falls camp, nestled deep in the woods of a town called Fallen…

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever.  Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.”  Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.

Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either.  Or does she?  They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason.  As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas.  Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past.  Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart. 

Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…

Wow, what a gorgeous cover! I've been hearing many good things about this book in the blogosphere so I'm 
super excited to read it. Plus, with a half-fae, a werewolf, camp, it's got to be good. 

Hades (Halo, #2)
Author: Alexandra Adornetto
Release Date: April 30 2011
Other books in the series :Halo 

Whoa, another fabulous cover! Halo was sweet, fun and addicting so I expect nothing less from Hades. Except a darker ride, since there is more black on the cover with fire like hell and Hades rules hell... anyway, I can't wait. 

Those are just a few of my picks. What are you waiting for?
