“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine.
My pick for this week is:
by Bethany Frenette
Expected Publication: October 23rd 2012 by Hyperion
Audrey Whitticomb has nothing to fear. Her mother is the superhero Morning Star, the most deadly crime-fighter in the Twin Cities, so it’s hard for Audrey not to feel safe. That is, until she’s lured into the sweet night air by something human and not human—something with talons and teeth, and a wide, scarlet smile.
Now Audrey knows the truth: her mom doesn’t fight crime at night. She fights Harrowers—livid, merciless beings who were trapped Beneath eons ago. Yet some have managed to escape. And they want Audrey dead, just because of who she is: one of the Kin.
To survive, Audrey will need to sharpen the powers she has always had. When she gets close to someone, dark corners of the person’s memories become her own, and she sometimes even glimpses the future. If Audrey could only get close to Patrick Tigue, a powerful Harrower masquerading as human, she could use her Knowing to discover the Harrowers’ next move. But Leon, her mother’s bossy, infuriatingly attractive sidekick, has other ideas. Lately, he won’t let Audrey out of his sight.
When an unthinkable betrayal puts Minneapolis in terrible danger, Audrey discovers a wild, untamed power within herself. It may be the key to saving her herself, her family, and her city. Or it may be the force that destroys everything—and everyone—she loves.
Why do I want to read this book? One word. Superheroes. Superheroes in MINNEAPOLIS. Ok, that’s three words. But I think you get the gist.
So what are you looking forward to this week?
Haven’t seen this one before but it looks really good. Also love the cover for it. Thanks for sharing

What an awesome cover! This sounds really good. First of hearing of it. Great choice!
Superheroes? Yes! Even the cover has this superhero X-Men factor feel. Great choice!

I love how realistic this is. I know it’s fiction and fantasy, but the “Mommy is the strongest.. oops, there still are monsters out there and she might not be able to protect me from everything, F*ck!” thing? So very relatable.
