"Waiting On" Wednesday #14: Silver in the Blood by Jessica Day George


I am a sucker for Romanian lore. While I do not come from a family of travelers, I moved 22 times before the age of 16 and many times people would ask if we were. From there, I just grew to love the myths and stories from this culture. So yeah... SILVER IN THE BLOOD combines that culture with the supernatural. It's going to be sooooo good!

Thank heavens, I do not have to wait much longer. So looking forward to reading this book. Doesn't it look amazing?! Such a beautiful cover. Seriously, all you book cover designers out there deserve mucho luv!



DETAILS:
  • Title: Silver in the Blood
  • Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children's
  • Publishing date: July 7, 2015
  • Author(s): Jessica Day George
  • Series: Silver in the Blood #1

SUMMARY: 

New York Times bestselling author brings dark secrets to life in a lush new YA perfect for fans of Libba Bray or Cassandra Clare.

Society girls from New York City circa 1890, Dacia and Lou never desired to know more about their lineage, instead preferring to gossip about the mysterious Romanian family that they barely knew. But upon turning seventeen, the girls must return to their homeland to meet their relatives, find proper husbands, and—most terrifyingly—learn the deep family secrets of The Claw, The Wing, and The Smoke. The Florescus, after all, are shape-shifters, and it is time for Dacia and Lou to fulfill the prophecy that demands their acceptance of this fate . . . or fight against this cruel inheritance with all their might.

With a gorgeous Romanian setting, stunning Parisian gowns, and dark brooding young men, readers will be swept up by this epic adventure of two girls in a battle for their lives.  

As always thanks to Breaking the Spine for hosting.

  12. I have been pretty excited for this one too, although I keep seeing less than stellar reviews. There is a read-a-long scheduled for this book starting on the tenth if your interested. I am planning on participating myself.
