Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share the books we’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. There are only two Wednesdays left in 2013 after today, and one of those is Christmas! It’s hard to believe this year went by so fast. But luckily for us readers, there will always be a steady supply of new books to read. This week I’m waiting on:
Peacemaker by Marianne de Pierres. Release date: April 29 2014 (Angry Robot). Those Angry Robots are at it again. They have the coolest covers and the wackiest mash-ups of genres of almost any publisher I know. If you live in Australia, you may recognize de Pierres’ name, since she’s written some books for Random House Australia (Night Creatures series), plus she lives there! Check out this story description:
When an imaginary animal from her troubled teenage years reappears, Virgin takes it to mean one of two things: a breakdown (hers!) or a warning. When the dead bodies start piling up around her and Nate, she decides on the latter. Something terrible is about to happen in the park and Virgin and her new partner are standing in its path…
Virgin Jackson is the senior ranger in Birrimun Park – the world’s last natural landscape, overshadowed though it is by a sprawling coastal megacity. She maintains public safety and order in the park, but her bosses have brought out a hotshot cowboy to help her catch some drug runners who are affecting tourism. She senses the company is holding something back from her, and she’s not keen on working with an outsider like Nate Sixkiller.
Not sure how I feel about a character’s name being “Virgin,” but perhaps it will all make sense when I read it. What do you think? Let me know your WOW link in the comments!
Great pick, I can’t wait to read this one as I loved her Parrish Plessis series which came out nearly ten years ago! I’ll be geeting a copy of Peacemaker as soon as I can, although I’m in agreement about the MC’s name – we shall have to wait and see 🙂
This looks so good! I see we have the same taste in reads!
This sounds definitely intriguing! Virgin is a strange name though. lol I haven’t yet read her Night Creatures series but I’ve heard it’s fantastic. Great pick!
Weird that the MC is called Virgin–certainly not the first name I would think of when writing a book.Other than that, Peacemaker looks really badass, hope you enjoy it.
I know, I can’t believe Christmas is so soon! Love the snow btw, very festive 😀
My Waiting on Wednesday
I’ve never heard of this book or author! It’s got a comic book feel to it – very cool! I hope you get to read this one sometime soon, Tammy, and you enjoy it!
