Waiting on Wednesday #732

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

IF LOOKS COULD KILL BY JULIE BERRY

Goodreads Description:

From Printz Honor–winning and New York Times bestselling author Julie Berry, a true-crime-nailbiter-turned-mythic-odyssey pitting Jack the Ripper against Medusa. A defiant love song to sisterhood, a survivors’ battle cry, and a romantic literary tour de force laced with humor.

It’s autumn 1888, and Jack the Ripper is on the run. As London police close in, he flees England for New York City seeking new victims. But a primal force of female vengeance has had enough. With serpents for hair and a fearsome gaze, an awakened Medusa is hunting for one Jack.

And other dangers lurk in Manhattan’s Bowery. Salvation Army volunteers Tabitha and Pearl discover that a girl they once helped has been forced to work in a local brothel. Tabitha’s an upstate city girl with a wry humor and a thirst for adventure, while farmgirl Pearl takes everything with stone-cold seriousness. Their brittle partnership is tested as they team up with an aspiring girl reporter and a handsome Irish bartender to mount a rescue effort, only to find their fates entwine with Medusa’s and Jack’s.

Format: 448 pages, Hardcover
Expected Publication: September 16, 2025 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Pre-Order: Blackwells and Amazon US and Amazon UK

Whoops. Another book from last month that I forgot to share about. But that I already own and am so excited to read, eee :D Hoping to read it early next year. <3 I think it sounds all kinds of exciting. I have also been a fan of Julie and her books for years now. So this was a must have for me. Hope to love it :)
What are you waiting for on this deadly Wednesday?
