"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted
over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly
anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
Publication
Date: February 2, 2016
Hardcover,
400 pages, HarperTeen
Genres:
YA, Fantasy
In the kingdom of Lovero, nine
rival Families of assassins lawfully kill people for a price. As a highly
skilled member of one of these powerful clans, seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana
has always trusted in the strength of her Family. Until she awakens to find
them murdered and her home in flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy,
must be responsible—and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret
relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct—and
given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.
Racked with guilt and shattered
over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea sets out to even the score, with her heart
set on retaliation and only one thought clear in her mind: make the Da Vias
pay.
With shades of The Godfather and
Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers
is a story of love, lies, and the ultimate vengeance.
My Thoughts
Yep. Another YA fantasy series. But I’m okay with that.

This was one of mine too (I only managed to narrow it down to four!), I cannot wait to read this!
