Waiting on Wednesday #66

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Jocelyn's Waiting On: 

Honor (The Breaking Point, #1) by Jay Crownover  
Publication Date: October 18th, 2016 


Synopsis: 

Don't be fooled.

Don't make excuses for me.

I am not a good man.

I've seen things no one should, done things no one should talk about. Honor and conscience have no place in my life. But I've fought and I've survived. I've had to.

The first time I saw her dancing on that seedy stage in that second rate club, I felt my heart pulse for the first time. Keelyn Foster was too young, too vibrant for this place, and I knew in an instant that I would make her mine. But first I had to climb my way to the top. I had to have something more to offer her.

I'm here now, money is no object and I have no equal. Except for her. She's disappeared. But don't worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine.

Like I said, don't be fooled. I am not the devil in disguise… I'm the one front and center.

Whaaaat? Is this New Adult or Adult? I'm seeing some conflicting genres on Goodreads... well whichever it is I'm SO down to read this book! I'm obsessed with dark romance books so I can't wait for this one to come out! 


Cassie's Waiting On: 

Fate of Flames (Effigies #1) by Sarah Raughley 
Publication Date: November 22, 2016

Synopsis:


Fate of Flames (Effigies, #1)Four girls with the power to control the elements and save the world from a terrible evil must come together in the first epic novel in a brand-new series.

When Phantoms—massive beasts made from nightmares and darkness—suddenly appeared and began terrorizing the world, four girls, the Effigies, each gained a unique power to control one of the classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Since then, four girls across the world have continually fought against the Phantoms, fulfilling their cosmic duty. And when one Effigy dies, another girl gains her power as a replacement.

But now, with technologies in place to protect the world’s major cities from Phantom attacks, the Effigies have stopped defending humanity and, instead, have become international celebrities, with their heroic feats ranked, televised, and talked about in online fandoms.

Until the day that New York City’s protection against the Phantoms fails, a man seems to be able to control them by sheer force of will, and Maia, a high school student, unexpectedly becomes the Fire Effigy.

Now Maia has been thrown into battle with three girls who want nothing to do with one another. But with the first human villain that the girls have ever faced, and an army of Phantoms preparing for attack, there isn’t much time for the Effigies to learn how to work together.

Can the girls take control of their destinies before the world is destroyed forever?


I'm so happy that Jocelyn is finally getting on the Jay Crownover bus!! Jocelyn's pick has been pre-ordered for so long for me, and I seriously can't wait to read Honor! But I'm also excited for my pick...it sounds new and different, and is sounds like an amazing start to a series. Plus, isn't that cover awesome?!
