Waiting on Wednesday (times two!) (74)

WOW is hosted by Breaking the Spine

Dark Star
Bethany Frenette
October 23rd, 2012
Audrey Whitticomb has nothing to fear. Her mother is the superhero Morning Star, the most deadly crime-fighter in the Twin Cities, so it’s hard for Audrey not to feel safe. That is, until she’s lured into the sweet night air by something human and not human—something with talons and teeth, and a wide, scarlet smile. 

Now Audrey knows the truth: her mom doesn’t fight crime at night. She fights Harrowers—livid, merciless beings who were trapped Beneath eons ago. Yet some have managed to escape. And they want Audrey dead, just because of who she is: one of the Kin. 

To survive, Audrey will need to sharpen the powers she has always had. When she gets close to someone, dark corners of the person’s memories become her own, and she sometimes even glimpses the future. If Audrey could only get close to Patrick Tigue, a powerful Harrower masquerading as human, she could use her Knowing to discover the Harrowers’ next move. But Leon, her mother’s bossy, infuriatingly attractive sidekick, has other ideas. Lately, he won’t let Audrey out of his sight. 

When an unthinkable betrayal puts Minneapolis in terrible danger, Audrey discovers a wild, untamed power within herself. It may be the key to saving her herself, her family, and her city. Or it may be the force that destroys everything—and everyone—she loves.
This one seems like fun. I can't remember the last time I read a superhero book...love the cityscape cover!

The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #2)
Michelle Hodkin
October 23rd, 2012
Two days after Mara walks into a police station in Miami at the close of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, she is committed for psychiatric treatment for what her parents believe is a mental breakdown. But what seems like a hallucination to everyone else is a chilling reality for Mara. Someone from her past has discovered her strange, disturbing secret and that someone wants her to pay. But she's about to discover that the price is more than she can bear.

Dark and thrilling, suspenseful and passionate, The Evolution of Mara Dyer will have readers breathlessly turning pages to find out what will become of Mara Dyer next.
I recently read the first book - and loved it - so now I'm very excited for the sequel! I love how well this cover goes with the first book.

What are you waiting on this week?

    I'd forgotten about the sequel to Mara Dyer. It sounds good! I also think Dark Star sounds promising. I will be adding it to my TBR list.

    Oh, yeah! Double shot! Both of these look really good. Of course, I'm interested to see what happens with Mara and the super hero book? Love those (great cover, too!).

    The first sounds good. The cover reminds me of some tv show Jessica Alba use to do.

    Both sound good, but I am especially excited for Mara Dyer #2. I just read the first Mara and was hooked immediately- definitely one of my favorite reads!
