Waiting on Wednesday #168

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES BY SARAH J. MAAS

Goodreads Description:

A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

I am all kinds of curious about this book. Yeah, I haven't read anything by Sarah yet, but I do own her books. I just need to get started ;p Okay, after I know how the romance thing works out :p Sigh. But this book. This book sounds so exciting. And that cover is stunning. I cannot wait to read this book. <3 And just crossing all my fingers it will be amazing. With no love triangle at all. I cannot wait to read it :) UPDATE. I wrote all those things above weeks ago. But now I have to update it. Because, damn. I have heard SO MANY good things about this book! And damn it. I want it so so much. Sigh. I really cannot wait for this book. And I wish I could read it right away. <3 It seems all kinds of perfect. So excited.
What are you waiting for on this thorny Wednesday?
