For those of you who don't know, Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where book bloggers devote a post to an upcoming book release they are particularly looking forward to reading.
THIS WEEK'S PICK:
UNDERWORLD BY MEG CABOT
Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.
Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera isn’t dead.
Not this time.
But she is being held against her will in the dim, twilit world between heaven and hell, where the spirits of the deceased wait before embarking upon their final journey.
Her captor, John Hayden, claims it’s for her own safety. Because not all the departed are dear. Some are so unhappy with where they ended up after leaving the Underworld, they’ve come back as Furies, intent on vengeance…on the one who sent them there and on the one whom he loves.
But while Pierce might be safe from the Furies in the Underworld, far worse dangers could be lurking for her there…and they might have more to do with its ruler than with his enemies.
And unless Pierce is careful, this time there’ll be no escape.

I love everything that Meg Cabot writes, and I really enjoyed Abandon when I read it last year. So basically I can't wait to read Underworld to find out what happens next to John. Plus the fact that Meg Cabot is one of my favorite authors ever doesn't hurt.
Underworld by Meg Cabot will be published May 28th, 2012 by Point.
I was very intrigued by John in the first book. I am curious to see what happens in this next one. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI really, really liked Abandon and can't wait to find out what happens in Underworld, either. The cover is absolutely gorgeous as well. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW!
I've really got to pick up a Meg Cabot book sometime, always here good reviews on her novels.
