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, quite possibly, to make our shelves look all pretty too :)
What I'm waiting on...
THE FALCONER
The Falconer #1

SUMMARY
Heiress. Debutant. Murderer.
A new generation of heroines has arrived.
Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844
Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined for a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery killed her mother.
Now it’s the 1844 winter season and Aileana slaughters faeries in secret, in between the endless round of parties, tea and balls. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, she sheds her aristocratic facade every night to go hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways.
But the balance between high society and her private war is a delicate one, and as the fae infiltrate the ballroom and Aileana’s father returns home, she has decisions to make. How much is she willing to lose – and just how far will Aileana go for revenge?

Dress Up That Cover #4
She sounds like a better-looking Hoggle!!
ReplyDeleteI am all for this book and am now excited for it. And I hadn't even HEARD of it before! But mixing pre-20th century Scotland with fantasy and you have got yourself a potential winner! Thanks for sharing!!
I hadn't heard of this, but it looks great! Putting it on the list.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the cover of this around, but I never realized it's based in Edinburgh (I live there, so that's super cool). I definitely need to add this to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I kind of like the UK cover better, but they both look badass so I don't care. Hope you enjoy it! :)
