"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on...
Half Bad by Sally Green
* Book will be released March 4, 2014
Check out the description from Barnes & Noble:
"In modern-day England, witches live alongside humans: White witches, who are good; Black witches, who are evil; and sixteen-year-old Nathan, who is both. Nathan’s father is the world’s most powerful and cruel Black witch, and his mother is dead. He is hunted from all sides. Trapped in a cage, beaten and handcuffed, Nathan must escape before his seventeenth birthday, at which point he will receive three gifts from his father and come into his own as a witch—or else he will die. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is tracked, when there is no one safe to trust—not even family, not even the girl he loves?"
This looks like an interesting read. I’m always happy to read new takes on the paranormal so hopefully these witches have some great mythology to bring to the table. Plus the excerpt on the site makes it sound pretty crazy.
This sounds interesting, I'll have to add to my list. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, yeah it looks like it's going to be a different/good kind of witch book.
DeleteI like witch books, so I'm waiting on Half Bad too. I don't care for the cover though. :(
ReplyDeleteNice, yeah the cover's a little weird looking.
DeleteOoh, I've requested this one on Netgalley and am hoping I'll get to read it because it just sounds so good :D But I have to agree with Jenna, the cover isn't doing a lot for me :) Thanks for sharing!

Nice, here's hoping you get approved. :) Yeah, the cover's kind of messy/hard to read.
DeleteI'm only just over 100pages in and it is seriously amazing. You'll love it! Definitely what I've been waiting for in the witch genre, and actually a really good showing of old school prejudices' too. Great pick!

DeleteThis sounds pretty interesting. I haven't read anything lately with witches that really grabbed my attention... so perhaps this is my next one to try!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick :)
