Waiting on Wednesday

By -

Waiting on Wednesday was started by breaking the spine.

This week we're anxiously awaiting Katie MacAlister's In the Company of Vampires: A Dark Ones Novel.

Paperback: 352 pages
Publisher: Signet (November 2, 2010)

Book summary: When Francesca arrives at GothFaire to save her mother from the trickster god, Loki, things go from bad to worse. Her immortal ex, Benedikt, is there, full of secrets-and with a new girlfriend. Now Fran must battle a power-hungry group who wishes to dominate both the immortal and mortal worlds-and the woman who claimed Ben's heart. It's a good thing Fran's no ordinary mortal...

Now some of you may know Fran and Benedikt from Katie's YA novels, Got Fangs? (2005) and Circus of the Darned (2006) under her pan name Katie Maxwell. Both of Fran's stories are being repackaged and released this November under the title Confessions of a Vampire's Girlfriend. But Fran and Ben are moving up to join MacAlister's adult series (The Dark Ones) with In The Company of Vampires, and as a fan I can't wait to read them. Come November we'll have a lot to be grateful for.

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break do
