Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun wait to highlight upcoming books that you’re exited about with other bloggers and readers. First of all, I’m really in love with this cover, check it out:
Borderline by Mishell Baker. Releases in March 2016 from Saga Press. I have a special place in my heart for sideways landscapes on book covers, and the addition of those sketchy wings makes this even better. This is the first in a series called The Arcadia Project, and it sounds sooo good:
A year ago, Millie lost her legs and her filmmaking career in a failed suicide attempt. Just when she’s sure the credits have rolled on her life story, she gets a second chance with the Arcadia Project: a secret organization that polices the traffic to and from a parallel reality filled with creatures straight out of myth and fairy tales.
For her first assignment, Millie is tasked with tracking down a missing movie star who also happens to be a nobleman of the Seelie Court. To find him, she’ll have to smooth-talk Hollywood power players and uncover the surreal and sometimes terrifying truth behind the glamour of Tinseltown. But stronger forces than just her inner demons are sabotaging her progress, and if she fails to unravel the conspiracy behind the noble’s disappearance, not only will she be out on the streets, but the shattering of a centuries-old peace could spark an all-out war between worlds.
No pressure.
I can’t wait to get my hands on this one! Let me know what you’re waiting on this week:-D
Hmm, interesting pick – can’t say I’ve heard of it or Baker, but it could prove to be an interesting mash-up of genres. Nice.
I think she may be a debut author. She’s very nice on Twitter!
Nice pick! I’m going to have to check this one out. At first it sounded really depressing, but now I’m intrigued by the parallel reality with fae. And I love that cover too!

Oh yeah, I guess the “losing her legs” part sounds depressing, right? Very curious to see how that’s handled.
This could be good. I like the sound of combining myth and fairy tales. I do think that is a fantastic cover though, too!
I just love the cover, although if it weren’t for the wings, it would have a very contemporary feel to it, right?
What an unusual premise! I agree with Mogsy, at first this sounded like a huge downer but 1) I love the fae and 2) I’m liking the hint of humour in the blurb. I’ve never heard of Mishell Baker – debut author?
Danya @ Fine Print recently posted…Waiting on Wednesday: Vol. 35
Yes, I think she is a debut author. I should check!
I’m with Mogsy and Danya so won’t repeat their thoughts. I do love the fae so as soon as I read ‘Seelie Court’ I was intrigued!
