Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we show off books that we want to read but have not been published yet.
Title: Infamous
Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon
Release Date: 1 February 2012
Goodreads: Go to school. Get good grades. Stay out of trouble. That’s the mandate for most kids. But Nick Gautier isn’t the average teenager. He’s a boy with a destiny not even he fully understands. And his first mandate is to stay alive while everyone, even his own father, tries to kill him.
He’s learned to annihilate zombies and raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance, so why is learning to drive such a difficulty? But that isn’t the primary skill he has to master. Survival is.
And in order to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison. He is on the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever known.
Or he’ll be the one who ends the world. With enemies new and old gathering forces, he will have to call on every part of himself to fight or he’ll lose everyone he cares about.
Even himself.
Why I want it: Have you not noticed how much I love Sherrilyn Kenyon, Nick and Simi? If not, then go read my reviews of the other two in the series, Infinity and Invincible. And if you haven't read those two, I suggest you do. Because Nick's world is amazing, fully imagined, and has a manga and 20 something (adult) books to go along with it.
What are YOU waiting on this week?
I love these covers. I've still got to get around to Invincible first though, I bought it a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW this week
Wicked pick! I have the first one sitting on my shelf waiting to be read and I keep thinking about buying the second one whenever I see it.
ReplyDeleteThis series is very high on my "must read" list, so it's good to know the third book is on its way (but only in 2012! :( ). Thanks for featuring it, I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteNot seen this before. Sounds really good. Hope the wait isn't tooo long.
