Waiting on Wednesday (15)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Title: Fated
Author: Alyson Noël
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Release Date: May 22, 2012

The first book in a magnificent new series about a girl who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead by #1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël.

Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met.

There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out to steal her powers. Now Daire must embrace her fate as a Soul Seeker and find out if Dace is one guy she’s meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she’s destined to destroy.

In a perfect world, this is going to be as good as the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs - just YA. Anywho, I'm intrigued and can't wait to get my hands on it.

Available for Preorder: Amazon
Be sure to add it to your TBR list on Goodreads!

  10. I read one or two of her other novels, but didn't like them too much. Very wary, though I hope this one will be great!

  11. It sounds interesting, but so did her Evermore series, and I truly believe that was one of the worst series ever written. I hope this one's better, but I'll check it out from the library first just in case.
