"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:
Chasing Magic by Stacia Kane
Publication Date: June 26th 2012
Publisher: Del Rey
Summary from Goodreads:
A DEADLY HIGH
Magic-wielding Churchwitch and secret addict Chess Putnam knows better than anyone just how high a price people are willing to pay for a chemical rush. But when someone with money to burn and a penchant for black magic starts tampering with Downside’s drug supply, Chess realizes that the unlucky customers are paying with their souls—and taking the innocent with them, as the magic-infused speed compels them to kill in the most gruesome ways possible.
As if the streets weren’t scary enough, the looming war between the two men in her life explodes, taking even more casualties and putting Chess squarely in the middle. Downside could become a literal ghost town if Chess doesn’t find a way to stop both the war and the dark wave of death-magic, and the only way to do that is to use both her addiction and her power to enter the spell and chase the magic all the way back to its malevolent source. Too bad that doing so will probably kill Chess—if the war doesn’t first destroy the man who’s become her reason for living.

What I think:
Well, you know me, I can't resist neither Stacia Kane's amazing writing style nor Terrible... That being said, I simply can't wait for Kane's newest release in her iressistible Downside Ghosts series. What's not to love? Hot hero, dark world, this series has everything I like in a book!
Thankfully, NetGalley approved my request for it and I will be able to read it shortly :)
