"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's WoW selection is...
's Pick:
Title: Devil and the BlackbirdAuthor: Jennifer Mason-Black
Series: n/a
Publisher: Amulet Books
Publication Date: May 17, 2016
“Devil-at-the-crossroads” folklore finds its way to YA via this moody, magical tale.
Blue Riley has wrestled with her own demons ever since the loss of her mother to cancer. But when she encounters a beautiful devil at her town crossroads, it’s her runaway sister’s soul she fights to save. The devil steals Blue’s voice—inherited from her musically gifted mother—in exchange for a single shot at finding Cass.
Armed with her mother’s guitar, a knapsack of cherished mementos, and a pair of magical boots, Blue journeys west in search of her sister. When the devil changes the terms of their deal, Blue must reevaluate her understanding of good and evil and open herself to finding family in unexpected places.
In Devil and the Bluebird, Jennifer Mason-Black delivers a heart-wrenching depiction of loss and hope.
Cover lust. I have it. Also, you tell me there's a devil in the story, and I am so in. Plus, sister stories are always worth a read, having two sisters of my own and never really understanding either of them completely. Also also, I can't say no to characters named Blue. So, to sum up, this book sounds all kinds of made for me. :D

This is interesting! Definitely one to watch for.
ReplyDeleteThis definitely sounds interesting. A little Magical Realism going on I'd say. And I'm also a sucker for a book about sisters. And one of them is named Cass? I'm interested. *adds to Goodreads*

I'd never heard of this one before, but the idea of crossroads demons coming into ya, a little mermaid type exchange and some sister loving? all of it sounds incredible, so thank you for introducing me!
