"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My selection for this week is:
Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins
Publication Date: March 13th 2012
Publisher: Hyperion Book CH
Summary from Goodreads:
Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted.
Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.
Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

What I think:
Rachel Hawkins' Hex Hall series needs no further introduction. It's plainly amazing! It's a fresh take of a universe that combines in it many mythological elements and creatures, from witches to faeries and Spell Bound promises to be as exciting as the previous two books in the series and then some more! Can I read it now please?
I am ashamed to admit, I haven't read this series yet. Though I own it. Hopefully I will get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick!
