“Waiting
On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that
spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
The Marked Girl by Lindsey Klingele
Out: 6/21
From Goodreads:
Once
upon a time, in a land far, far away (Los Angeles)…
When
Cedric, crowned prince of Caelum, and his fellow royal friends (including his
betrothed, Kat) find themselves stranded in modern-day L.A. via a magical
portal and an evil traitor named Malquin, all they want is to do is get home to
Caelum—soon. Then they meet Liv, a
filmmaker foster girl who just want to get out of the system and on with her
life. As she and Cedric bond, they’ll
discover that she’s more connected to his world than they ever could’ve
imagined…and that finding home is no easy task…
Worlds
collide in The Marked Girl, an exciting fantasy tale turned upside down.
Why I’m Waiting:
The
cover caught my eye at first and then as I read about it I was intrigued. It sounded like something right my up
alley. First book in a new series so it sounds like it could have promise. World displacement stories always
seem to be fun as I enjoy watching the characters try to figure out the new
world and I’d like to think I’d be the person who if I found said person I’d be
open minded and help them, especially if they were super hot just saying.

It's amazing what a good cover and blurb can do to pull one into a book they might not normally be drawn to! The power of books!
Deletelol, I agree with you on that last part;) This sounds like a fun read! Very interesting twist in a time travel kind of story. The cover is very eye-catching too. Thanks for sharing:) Here is my WOW:
