Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. I know it’s been quiet lately here on the blog, but I’m now back from San Diego Comic Con and ready to start posting again. I had an amazing time, and a recap is coming soon, but I literally got home Sunday around 5:00 p.m. and immediately had to go back to work the next day, so not much will happen between now and the weekend.
However, at the Harper panel this past weekend, I was introduced to this book, and I cannot wait to read it:
Black Dog by Caitlin Kittredge. Releases in October from HarperVoyager. You guys, I am so into urban fantasy at the moment. Having just finished the wonderful California Bones, I’m searching out new UF books to read. This one looks like it will be just the thing:
The first installment in a fabulous dark urban fantasy series—think Kill Bill with demons and gangsters instead of martial arts—from the award-winning author of the Iron Codex trilogy and Vertigo comic Coffin Hill
Ava has spent the last hundred years as a hellhound, the indentured servant of a reaper who hunts errant souls and sends them to Hell. When a human necromancer convinces her to steal her reaper’s scythe, Ava incurs the wrath of the demon Lilith, her reaper’s boss.
As punishment for her transgression, Lilith orders Ava to track down the last soul in her reaper’s ledger . . . or die trying.
But after a hundred years of servitude, it’s time for payback. And Hell hath no fury like an avenging Ava.
What do you think? Will you be adding this to your TBR? Let me know what your WoW is!
I think this book looks fabulous too. I’m ALWAYS on the lookout for new UF series, so I grabbed this one the second it popped up on edelweiss 😉
Can’t wait to hear about SDCC!!
I just saw it on Edelweiss too, and I’ll most likely try to snag it, even though I’m trying not to request so much!
Hope that one lives up to it’s premise. I would gladly read it if it does because it sounds kinda maybe really cool.
I hope so too, it does sound really good, right?
ooo…this sounds so good! It reminds me of The Demontrapper’s Daughter a bit for some reeason which I loved! It’s going on my TBR list anyway! Thanks for sharing because I hadn’t heard of it. Happy reading.

There have been so many books with this title, I was a little mixed up at first! I think I’ve heard of this one, and it looks great. I hear you about urban fantasy, I think this is the longest I’ve gone without reading one and I’m getting the UF itch!
Sounds like this one is right up your alley! I came home with the Comic Con cold and this hot muggy weather is not helping. You must be exhausted!
Sorry you got sick, Lucy! Yes, I am pretty tired still. I can’t wait for the weekend:-)
Wow this one sounds intense and exciting! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Here’s My WoW 🙂
You had me at “Kill Bill with demons and gangsters,” lol! This sounds really interesting and exciting. Thanks for sharing! My WoW.
You had me at Kill Bill! 🙂 This one is new to me, but I’ll have to add it to my TBR list.
WOW

100 years of servitude. Payback time! Sounds good 🙂
I’ve read books written from the perspective of werewolves, were-panthers, even the occasional were-bear, but never hellhounds! This one sounds fabulous – and I’m always on the hunt for more UF.
Oh wow this sounds amazing! Kill Bill with demons and gangsters?? Yes please!
I almost got this at Comic Con but ended up trading it for another book that I really wanted. Pretty sure my friend got a copy though so I’ll have to hit her up for it.
You had me at Kill Bill. This is getting added like right now.
Annnnd…don’t mind me. I’m new to this whole blogging thing.
Awesome pick! I haven’t heard of this one yet. I have to go check it out!
Come check out my blog and maybe even hit the follow button? It’d be greatly appreciated! http://bundles-of-books.blogspot.com
