Waiting on Wednesday: A Darkness Strange and Deadly and Afterparty

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

Here are my WoW picks this week (click title for the Goodreads page):


Publisher: HarperTeen
Pre-Order: Amazon | Book Depository
Following an all-out battle with the walking Dead, the Spirit Hunters have fled Philadelphia, leaving Eleanor alone to cope with the devastating aftermath. But there’s more trouble ahead—the evil necromancer Marcus has returned, and his diabolical advances have Eleanor escaping to Paris to seek the help of Joseph, Jie, and the infuriatingly handsome Daniel once again. When she arrives, however, she finds a whole new darkness lurking in this City of Light. As harrowing events unfold, Eleanor is forced to make a deadly decision that will mean life or death for everyone.






Sequel to the compelling book of Susan Dennard! Gorgeous cover as ever and I hope there's more zombies!  I want to know more about Daniel and Eleanor, I wonder if there's gonna be a love triangle. Anyways, Aim for the knees folks! :)


Release date: January 7th, 2014
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Pre-Order: Amazon | Book Depository
A toxic friendship takes a dangerous turn that leads to a rooftop tragedy in this riveting novel from the author of Where It Began.

Emma is tired of being good. She’s always done what’s expected of her, and she’s starting to feel antsy. That’s why meeting Siobhan is the best thing to happen to her, before it’s the worst. Because Siobhan is dangerous, and fun, and alluring, and experienced... In other words, she’s everything Emma isn’t.

And then things go terribly wrong.

There’s Dylan, the boy who comes between them. And it’s true that their high-stakes pacts are spinning out of control. But there’s even more to the story—and everything comes to a head at an infamous afterparty where debauchery rages on the rooftop, and an intense, long-awaited confrontation results in a terrifying freefall…

One look at the cover and I just can't help but drool.  Two words: gorgeous and contemporary! This past few weeks I undergo my contemporary YA phase so this book would seem a great choice. I bet this book is going to consume me...

    1. Thank you! Ihope you start on the series soon! It was really good and I guess I must confess that one of the things the lure me to these books beside the good blurbs are their drool-worthy covers (Hahaha, that just sounded gross).

    1. I think so too! I'm really excited to read it and 2014 is just too long to wait. I hope I would receive an ARC. *crosses fingers*.

      Thanks for taking the time to check on our WoW post. I checked yours and you've got a good pick too although honestly I haven't read the first book yet I think it's an interesting read. :)

      I know! 2014 is just *groan* too far yet but I'm willing to wait and cross my fingers to receive an ARC of the book. I wish... ;)

  6. I'm really curious about Afterparty it sounds really good! I wasn't a HUGE fan of the first Strange and Deadly book so I'll wait for some feedback to see if I'm reading the sequel or not >.<

  7. Love the cover of Afterparty and the story looks good too. And I've been hearing lots of good things about A Darkness Strange and Lovely that it's high time I get it.
