Can't
Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings. Waiting on Wednesday has been don for some
time so I am switching it up for now!
Basically books that are not yet out that we are dying to get our hands
on. This week’s pick is:
Society if Wishes (Wish Quartet #1) by Elise Kova
Out: 1/29
From
Goodreads:
First
book in the Wish Quartet, a
new-adult, urban, fantasy series set in a near-future alternate reality.
BE
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.
Josephina
Espinosa makes her living as a hacker-for-hire in the Lone Star Republic, a
remmant of the fractured U.S.A. That is,
until the day she and her best friend are gunned down in a government raid.
With
her dying breath, Jo uses magical lore passed down from her grandmother to
summon a wish-granter. Her wish? To save her friend’s life. Except wishes have costs, and for Jo, the
price is that erasure of her entire mortal existence.
Now,
as the most recent addition to the mysterious Society of Wishes, Jo must form a
new “life” alongside the seven other members, one of which being her savior
himself. Living as an occupant of the
Society lavish mansion should be quite the perk, but while it is furnished with
everything its inhabitants could possibly need, it lacks one thing—freedom.
Her
otherworldly identity crisis takes a backseat, however, when Jo learns that the
friend she sacrificed everything for is headed down the same path to ruin. Jumping in head-first, Jo uses her newfound
magical abilities to protect him, only to realize that the ripples of her
actions have far-reaching consequences.
When the Society’s aloof leader Snow decides to give her a taste of his
own ancient magic, Jo discovers that there are threads woven into the tapestry
of her new reality that reach far beyond the wishes she is now required to
grant. Ones that, if tugged on, could
mean the unraveling of the world itself.
Why I’m
Waiting:
This author is an auto-buy
for me so that is enough of a reason for me.
That said the summary sounds like something I will love. So there we go!

Thanks! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
DeleteDefinitely sounds interesting. Love the "be careful what you wish for" theme and where it looks like it's going. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI know right because who isn't always wishing for something here or there big and small!

I hope you enjoy if you decide to jump into it!
DeleteThis book sounds so interesting and the cover is gorgeous! Probably going to read her Air Awakens series first though! I've heard so many good things about it!
ReplyDeleteOh I need to finish that series. I got so behind when life happened lol but I did read her Loom Saga last year and it was amazing!
DeleteOooo, a collaboration! (Or is Lynn Larsh a penname for Elisa Kova?) I've not read anything by Kova but I've heard really great things about her previous books. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Nope she will be a debut author with this title working with Kova!
DeleteI haven't read anything from these authors, but I do love urban fantasy. I hope you love this new one!
