“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:
These Ruthless Deeds (These Vicious Masks #2) by
Tarun Shanker & Kelly Zekas
Out: 3/14
From Goodreads:
England,
1883. Still recovering from the loss of
her beloved sister, Evelyn is determined to use her powers to save other gifted
people from those who would harm them.
But when her rescue of a young telekinetic girl goes terribly wrong,
Evelyn finds herself indebted to a secret society devoted to recruiting and
protecting people like Evelyn and her friends.
As
she follows the Society’s orders, healing the sick and embarking on perilous
recruitment missions, Evelyn sees her problems disappear. Her reputation is repaired, her friends are
provided for, and her parents are newly wealthy. She reunites with the dashing Mr. Kent and
recovers the reclusive Mr. Braddock (who has much less to brood over now that
the Society can help him to control his dangerous power). But Evelyn can’t help fearing the Society is
more sinister than it appears…
Why I’m Waiting:
I
read the first book, These Vicious Masks (review), last year as an ARC so I’ve
had even longer to wait for this one. I’m
ready to learn more about Evelyn and this Society and what sinister motives
they may have. I had a great time
reading book one and want to know more about this world.
What
are you waiting on? Tell me below what
you think of this title and leave a link to your WoW as well so I can check it
out.
This cover is so striking and the blurb -- I have got to get to reading book 1! Here's mine: http://editingeverything.com/blog/2017/01/04/waiting-on-wednesday-passing-strange/
ReplyDeleteI know and the cover for book 1 was even better! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI read These Vicious Masks last year, but I had no idea the sequel was coming out next year. Great choice.

I have been keeping an eye on it as I didn't want to lose track of the series (trying to be better about that).
DeleteI just grabbed the first one from Book Outlet and am hoping I enjoy this series. Sounds like you are super excited to continue so I hope I feel the same.
ReplyDeleteOh yay on grabbing it at a deal! Isn't the cover pretty! I love the raised edges really adds a little something to it.
DeleteI feel like there's just so many first books in a series I still need to get to. These Vicious Masks is one of them too.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW!
OMG I know what you mean! I am so behind in some series I had hoped to be caught up on by 2017.
DeleteGaaahhh, I want to read this one so desperately! I was a tiny bit surprised that the pub did not do print or electronic ARCs. Oh well! Longer wait for us. I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, Eve. =)
Check out my WoW post!
I know I had an ARC of book one and was hoping I'd get book 2 as well. Sigh just means I have to wait longer.
DeleteHmmm...I haven't read this series before, but it sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
