"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
THE GLITTERING EDGE BY ALYSSA VILLAIRE
Goodreads Description:
The instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller, perfect for fans of Practical Magic and The Raven Boys!
Rumors
are the lifeblood of Idlewood, Indiana. The locals whisper that the De
Lucas are witches, and that decades prior they cursed the wealthy
Barrion family as revenge for a love gone tragically wrong: now, if a
Barrion falls in love with you, you’ll die. If this isn’t reason enough
for wallflower Penny Emberly to stay away from both families, she
doesn’t know what is. But when Penny’s mom is in an accident that leaves
her on the brink of death, Penny can’t ignore the rumors
anymore—because the Barrion curse is real. And her mom is its latest
victim.
In order to save her mom’s life, Penny must bring
together two bitter enemies on either side of the feud and work with
them to break the curse. For star quarterback Corey Barrion, doing so
would mean finally saving his family from the magic that killed his mom.
And for misfit witch Alonso De Luca, it would mean convincing everyone
in Idlewood—especially Penny—that he isn’t the villain they believe him
to be.
But as the trio navigates Alonso’s unpredictable magic,
the tangled web of Barrion-De Luca history, and an increasingly chaotic
group chat, it soon becomes clear that the curse is not what they
expected. Did a De Luca really curse the Barrions in a fit of jealousy,
or is something even more sinister afoot? Penny will have to conquer her
anxiety, wrestle with her budding feelings for Alonso, and delve into
dangerous, forbidden magic to find the truth and save her mom — even if
it means putting her own life at risk.
