Waiting on Wednesday #104

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.

Cassie's Waiting On: 

Venturess (Mechanica #2) by Betsey Cornwell

Publication Date: August 1, 2017

Synopsis:

Young inventor Nicolette Lampton is living her own fairy tale happy ending. She's free of her horrible step-family, running a successful business, and is uninterested in marrying the handsome prince, Fin. Instead, she, Fin, and their friend Caro venture to the lush land of Faerie, where they seek to put an end to the bloody war their kingdom is waging. Mechanical armies and dark magic await them as they uncover devastating secrets about the past and fight for a real, lasting happily-ever-after for two troubled countries—and for themselves.

I know that this might not be the most popular of WoWs, but I honestly really enjoyed the first book in this series.  I'm excited to see where the story will go and what's Ms. Cornwell has in store for the characters that I liked so much! Plus, I LOVE the cover of this one!

Jocelyn's Waiting On: 

Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart 
Publication Date: September 5th, 2017 

Synopsis:

The story of a young woman whose diabolical smarts are her ticket into a charmed life. But how many times can someone reinvent themselves? You be the judge.

Imogen is a runaway heiress, an orphan, a cook, and a cheat.
Jule is a fighter, a social chameleon, and an athlete. 
An intense friendship. A disappearance. A murder, or maybe two. 
A bad romance, or maybe three.
Blunt objects, disguises, blood, and chocolate. The American dream, superheroes, spies, and villains. 
A girl who refuses to give people what they want from her.
A girl who refuses to be the person she once was.

I know that We Were Liars produced some pretty die-hard fans for E. Lockhart, but I actually haven't read it! So, after hearing some great things about her mystery novels, I am definitely ready to give her style of writing a try with Genuine Fraud!
