“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:
Wicked Like a Wildfire (Hibiscus Daughter #1) by
Lana Popovic
Out: 8/15
From Goodreads:
All
the women in Iris and Malina's family are born with a gleam—a unique way of
manipulating beauty through magic.
Seventeen-year-old Iris sees flowers as fractals and turns her
kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, her twin sister Malina interprets moods as
music, and their cold, distant mother Jasmina bakes scenery into decadent
treats at her confectionery in Old Town Cattaro, Montenegro.
Jasmina
forbids Iris and Malina to share their gleams with anyone, and above all, she
forbids them to fall in love—being discovered could shatter the quiet lives
they've built in their tucked-away, seaside town. But Iris and Malina are tired of abiding by
their mother's rules and rebel in secret whenever they can.
Yet
when a mysterious, white-haired women attacks their mother and leaves her
hovering between life and death, the sisters unearth an ancient curse that
haunts their line—a wicked bargain that masquerades as a blessing, and binds
the twin's fates—and hearts—to a force larger than life. To save each other, they must untangle a
thousand years of lies and reveal their own hurtful secrets. But even the deepest sacrifice might not be
enough.
Wicked
Like a Wildfire is the first book in a sumptuous, bewitching duology about the
power of love, death, magic, and the many faces of beauty.
Why I’m Waiting:
First that cover. It is so pretty. Reading what it is about really has me
excited for this debut. I love that
while it sounds like romance may play a part the story sounds to be focused
more on the bond of sisters which is really sweet.
