The first and last time that I heard of a bruja was on True Blood - and I LOVED Jesus and his storyline. So I must say that I'm pretty excited to read a book surrounding it.
Cassie's Waiting On:
Publication Date: September 20, 2016
Synopsis:
Presented by James Patterson's new children's imprint, this deliciously creepy horror novel has a storyline inspired by the Ripper murders and an unexpected, blood-chilling conclusion...Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life.
Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world.
The story's shocking twists and turns, augmented with real, sinister period photos, will make this dazzling debut from author Kerri Maniscalco impossible to forget.
This sounds like such an interesting read. Just from the synopsis, the cover fits seems to embody this book perfectly. I'm really intrigued to see where the author takes the story, and I'm hoping that Audrey is a strong MC! Fingers crossed that this is a win and I have a new series to take me into 2017 :)
OOoh nice! I'm curious about both of these as well! I have the first one in my TBR pile already, but Stalking Jack the Ripper is one I'm starting to think I'll need too! Great picks!
