"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: Windwitch Author: Susan Dennard Series: The Witchlands, book #2 Publisher: Tor Teen Publication Date: January 3, 2017
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery," a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
Windwitch continues the tale begun in Truthwitch, with a focus on Merik--cunning privateer, prince, windwitch, and reader favorite.
So, I wasn't as taken by Truthwitch as some were, but I still get the appeal. However, I get the appeal of a book that features Merik even more, though. ;0) I feel like I should re-read the first book soon...I'll settle for this excerpt from Windwitch, though. =)
What are you desperately waiting for this Wednesday? Let us know in the comments or share a link to your own WoW post!
Title: Truthwitch Author: Susan Dennard Narrator(s): Cassandra Campbell Series:The Witchlands, book #1 Length: 14 hrs 41 mins Publisher: Listening Library Publication Date: January 5, 2016 Source: ARC received from publisher, purchased audio Purchase:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Audible
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a “witchery,” a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble—as two desperate young women know all too well. Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It’s a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.
Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her—but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safi’s hotheaded impulsiveness.
Safi and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and ship’s captain) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.
I know, I know. What took me so long, right? The hype. It scared me. No way could it be that good. Of course, I said the same about Six of Crows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But, sometimes I find that the audio version is even better, makes for an even more enjoyable reading experience. And in this case, I think it was the better choice because no way would I have read it with Cassandra Campbell's accents and emotions. It was really quite good.
I've only read the first book in Dennard's other series, and to be honest, it was kind of fun but not very impressive. So, I lowered my expectations for this novel initially. But then the hype. Hype can go either way for a novel, but in this case, I think it's pretty well deserved.
That cover is so fiercely awesome, guys...I can't even. And then to read Susan talk about the fierce friendship in this book and what it means to her....YAAAAASSSS! The friendships in this book are what I think make the book so special. There just aren't enough books that focus on friendship over romance, but this one so does.
The magic system presented in this novel is equally awesome, though. So many individual powers, so many ways to use them. I just read another book -- though, for the life of me, I cannot remember which one -- where one of the characters was able to discern whether someone was telling the truth, and I loved how that ability was employed. In this novel, the power is explained in a more realistic way, showing that the ability is not infallible but that it does have its uses.
And that unseen villain! There are tons of enemies in the story, but just the mentions of the big baddie leave me with a sense of foreboding and loss. I'm actually hoping that one of these guys turns into more of a frienemy...or dare I say, maybe even a love interest? It wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility, and I just love a great redeemable villain. ;P
It's kind of weird because I feel like the middle of this book was the strongest portion for me. Usually, that's the area that drags, but not in this story. In fact, the whole story had me captivated from beginning to end. And after that ending, I'm very much interested in picking up the next book. This is one of those times where a series' potential definitely lives up to the hype.
GIF it to me straight:
About the author:
Susan Dennard has come a long way from small-town Georgia. With a masters degree in marine biology, she got to travel the world—six out of seven continents, to be exact (she’ll get to Asia one of these days!)—before she settled down as a full-time novelist and writing instructor.
She is the author of the Something Strange and Deadly series (from HarperTeen) as well as the forthcoming Witchlands series (Tor, 2015). When not writing, she can be found hiking with her dogs, exploring tidal pools, or earning bruises at the dojo.
"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 selections are...
's Pick:
Title: The Heir Author: Kiera Cass Series:The Selection #4
Publisher: HarperTeen Publication Date: May 5th, 2015
Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won Prince Maxon’s heart. Now the time has come for Princess Eadlyn to hold a Selection of her own. Eadlyn doesn’t expect her Selection to be anything like her parents’ fairy-tale love story. But as the competition begins, she may discover that finding her own happily ever after isn’t as impossible as she always thought.
Normally I can be a pretty picky reader. So I was surprised by how much I've been enjoying The Selection books. I've been eating them up like candy. They are just fun and paired with some of the tear jerkers I've read lately, it makes for a perfect balance.
Thankfully I don't have too long to wait for The Heir. They probably could have just left the series as is. Which is what I thought they would do originally, but I'm still going to be all over this shit and I'm once again dragging my buddy reader Jess with me. lol. :)
And these covers.. they are gorgeous. I think this one might be my favorite. It looks so Spacey.

Today on the blog, I have the pleasure of featuring Susan Dennard's debut novel Something Strange and Deadly, which was just released on Tuesday from HarperTeen. For my stop on the Something Strange and Deadly Blog Tour, hosted by Shane at Itching for Books, I'm reviewing the book and dream casting the novel for you guys. There's also a giveaway for a SIGNED copy of the novel at the end of this post! But first, here's a little about the author:
Susan Dennard is a reader, writer, lover of animals, and eater of cookies. She is a writer turned marine biologist turned writer again. Among the traits she shares with her heroine Eleanor are a weakness for Shakespearean quotes, a healthy appetite for baked goods, and an insatiable curiosity. Sadly, Susan does not get to wear a corset or wave a parasol on a daily basis. She lives in Germany with her French husband and Irish setter, and you can learn more about her crazy thoughts and crippling cookie-addiction on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, or Goodreads. Something Strange and Deadly is her debut novel.
Title: Something Strange and Deadly Author: Susan Dennard Series: 1st book in the Something Strange and Deadly series Publisher: HarperTeen
The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia…
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she’s just read in the newspaper—
The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.
And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor…from her brother.
Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including their maddeningly stubborn yet handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.
I love zombie novels, be they scary and gory or just tragic and sad. Even better if you combine all of those elements.And that's exactly what Susan Dennard accomplished with Something Strange and Deadly.
Dennard has combined the elegance and industrialization of the Victorian era with the grotesqueness of the walking dead to create a world that was both frightening and intriguing.The first-person narrative allowed me to explore the streets of 19th century Philadelphia right along with Eleanor as she searched for her missing brother.The story was fast-paced and well-evolved, and though it was not suspenseful in the way that I had hoped, there were plenty of zombie-killing sequences to keep me entertained.
Characterization can make or break a novel for me.If I don't feel at least some connection to the characters and what they are going through, I'm more likely to have a less than favorable opinion of the story as a whole.The opposite is also true.Sometimes the characters are so solidly written, so meticulously developed, that I'm able to overlook other elements of the story that might have otherwise bothered me, such as the lack of mystery and suspense.The characters in this novel are in the latter category.
Take Eleanor Fitt of the Philadelphia Fitts, for example:she's a young, well-bred society woman who is to be married off to the first available man who comes along so that her mother may avoid the poor house.But no one asks Eleanor if this is what she wants.She bites her tongue and obeys her mother, biding her time till her brother returns and saves her from this plight.Assuming he does return.The underlying motivation for nearly every one of Eleanor's misguided actions and indiscretions is finding her brother.Elijah makes her feel normal and whole in a world where she does not quite belong.Eleanor has always known she didn't quite fit with high society, but after deep reflection and upon hearing "Miss Fitt" one too many times, the realization of just how much she doesn't belong really hits her.Miss Fitt = misfit.Such a clever moniker for such a clever girl.Quick-witted and sharp-tongued -- "I could keep quiet.But that didn't mean I would." (p. 89 of ARC) -- Eleanor is the kind of person I want beside me when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives.
In keeping with the theme of ostracism, Eleanor enlists the help of the Spirit-Hunters in her search for Elijah.The band of outcasts is hesitant to help Eleanor until they learn that Elijah's disappearance is somehow involved with the reawakened Dead.Joseph, the leader of the Spirit-Hunters, is a gentleman who handles himself with dignity and grace.Daniel, his right-hand man, is the opposite.He may be hot-headed and callous, but he is quite the inventor.(And quite dashing, too!)Jie is a Chinese girl, slightly older than Eleanor, who dresses as a boy, not only so that she may work with the Spirit-Hunters, but also to avoid suffering dresses and corsets and the oppression that comes with being a young women, in her society or in Eleanor's.Together, the three have followed a powerful Necromancer from Chicago to Philadelphia.Tracking down the Necromancer and stopping him is their primary objective, but seeing as how Eleanor has proven herself helpful and her brother does seem to be involved somehow, they agree to assist her in her search.
A slew of bad decisions, a heaping helping of zombie attacks, and a bittersweet romance all make for one exciting read.But the decisions aren't of the cringe-worthy variety, the zombie attacks aren't terribly disgusting, and the romance takes a backseat to the real action.It's really quite good and artfully told, considering this is the author's debut novel.And what a sensational debut it is.I almost wish I had time to re-read it now so that I could pick up on the nuances and details I missed on my race to the finish line the first time around.It's a zombie novel, but it's not of the grossly exaggerated and vomit-inducing type…at least I didn't think so.So, if you can handle a little descriptive grossness and prefer a story that doesn't focus primarily on romance, this book might be for you.
Rating: 1/2
Okay, so, I don't usually dream cast novels myself. Honestly, I don't want the books I love to be turned into movies, so while I'm reading, I'm not envisioning any actors portraying the characters I'm reading about. But I thought it would be fun to give this a try, anyway, so I headed over to IMDb to start sorting through headshots. (It wasn't all work...I did get to search for the perfect Daniel, after all. :D)

Title: Something Strange and Deadly Author: Susan Dennard Series: 1st book in the Something Strange and Deadly series Publisher: HarperTeen Publication Date: July 24, 2012 Source: ARC from publisher Purchase:Amazon | Barnes & Noble
The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia…
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she’s just read in the newspaper—

And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.
My teaser:
"I'd been electrocuted. That's what Daniel had said. I shuddered. Bad enough the Spirit-Hunters had battled a spirit, but then they'd had to bring an unconscious lady home. Merciful heavens, had they met Mama?" -- p. 187 of ARC
Hmmm...I'm guessing Mama isn't too pleasant. Lol.
You guys have no idea how excited I am to be reading this novel right now. I was expecting zombies, but it appears that the Dead can also be the spirits of the dead manifesting themselves in our realm. Quite intriguing!

I work with numbers by day, and I'm a mommy and avid reader by night. I'm a self-proclaimed Spreadsheet Queen, and I'll read anything you put in front of me. I seriously love all the books! And I adore audiobooks, too!

Author: Susan Dennard
Series: The Witchlands, book #2
Publisher: Tor Teen
Publication Date: January 3, 2017

The Truth About Truthwitch? It's Worth the Hype.
