Waiting On Wednesday #7: When You Were Mine, Hemlock and Vicious Deep

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by  

Breaking the Spine. 

This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and make our shelves look all pretty :) 

I have THREE books for this week's meme!!! 

I couldn't resist, lol! and they're all being released around the same time, so I know that I would not be able to give them their individual loving posts in time... so here they are! 

In no particular order ;) 

When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle 

Release Date: May 1st, 2012

"In this intensely romantic, modern recounting of the greatest love story ever told, Romeo’s original intended—Juliet’s cousin Rosaline—tells her side of the tale. 

What’s in a name, Shakespeare? I’ll tell you: Everything.     

Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her—and when he finally does, it’s perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose’s best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit crazy... and who has set her sights on Rob. He doesn’t even stand a chance.     

Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is not how the story was supposed to go. And when rumors start swirling about Juliet’s instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Rob’s heart, but also for his life. 

Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends…."

{It's a Romeo/Juliet kind of re-telling through Rosaline's eyes!!! 
Obviously it's going to be high on the TBR/Wishlist, right???}

Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock 

Release Date: May 8th, 2012

"Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.

Since then, Mac’s life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac’s hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy’s killer: A white werewolf.

Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy’s murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy’s boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.

Kathleen Peacock’s thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love."

{This may be the book to finally swing me over and convince me that I should be on Team Werewolf now! This story just screams mystery and possibly romance(?) Can't wait!!!}

Vicious Deep by Zoraida Cordova

Release Date: May 1st, 2012 

"For Tristan Hart, everything changes with one crashing wave.

He was gone for three days. Sucked out to sea in a tidal wave and spit back ashore at Coney Island with no memory of what happened. Now his dreams are haunted by a terrifying silver mermaid with razor-sharp teeth.

His best friend Layla is convinced something is wrong. But how can he explain he can sense emotion like never before? How can he explain he’s heir to a kingdom he never knew existed? That he’s suddenly a pawn in a battle as ancient as the gods.

Something happened to him in those three days. He was claimed by the sea…and now it wants him back."

{I have yet to find a mermaid book that I like, even though it has been ages since I have read one... I think this might be the one to get me to give mer-people a chance again!}
