"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
#1 New York Times bestselling novelist Maggie
Stiefvater dazzles in this mesmerizing portrait of an irresistible
heroine, an unlikely romance, and a hotel—and a world—in peril.
JANUARY
1942. THE AVALLON HOTEL AND SPA offers elegance and sophistication in
an increasingly ugly world. Run with precision by June Hudson, the
hotel’s West Virginia born-and-bred general manager, the Avallon is
where high society goes to see and be seen, and where the mountain
sweetwater in the fountains and spas can wash away all your troubles.
June
was trained by the Gilfoyles, the hotel’s aristocratic owners, and she
has guided the Avallon skillfully through the first pangs of war. Now,
though, the Gilfoyle family heir has made a secret deal with the State
Department to fill the hotel with captured Axis diplomats. June must
convince her staff—many of whom have sons and husbands heading to the
frontlines—to offer luxury to Nazis. With a smile.
She also must
reckon with Tucker Minnick, the FBI agent whose coal tattoo hints at
their shared past in the mountains, and whose search for the diplomats’
secrets disrupts the peace June is fighting so hard to maintain. Hers is
a balancing act with dangerous consequences; the sweetwater beneath the
hotel can threaten as well as heal, and only June can manage the
springs.
As dark alliances and an elusive spy crack the polished veneer of the Avallon, June must calculate the true cost of luxury.

Eeee. New Maggie Stiefvater book :D I am SO excited about this book. It sounds different and it sounds so good too. I am lucky enough to have an eARC of it from PRH International. <3 I'm hoping to read it in January :) I think I will love this story. I do love reading books based on the war, despite how sad they are.
What are you waiting for on this secretive Wednesday?
