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.
Today San Diego Comic Con kicks off, and I thought I’d feature one of the books that will be given away at the convention, one I’m hoping to nab…err…politely ask for:-) I’m not sure whether or not the author will be there, I need to go back through the program list and see. But that would be pretty cool! Feast your eyes on the pretty cover:
From the award-winning author of the acclaimed novel Poecomes an edgy and bone-chilling new novel.
When Fiona Quinn is approached in a bar by a man who calls himself Scratch and claims he’s the devil, she figures it’s just some kind of post-modern ironic pickup line. But since he offers to pick up the tab, what the hell. A few drinks in, Scratch offers something much stranger—a wish in exchange for her immortal soul. Fiona has been wondering if her boyfriend is having an affair. What if she could become invisible, see what he’s really up to? It can be done, but for a price—in addition to her soul, Fiona must perform a special favor for Scratch whenever the time comes. Fiona finds the whole thing so hilarious that she agrees.
Bad idea. Not only does Fiona soon discover that she really was talking to the devil incarnate, but she’s now been initiated into a bizarre support group of similar “dead souls”—those who have exchanged their immortal spirits on a whim, and must spend their waking hours in absolute terror of that favor eventually being called in…and what exactly is required from each of them in order to give the devil his due.
With Fenn’s “wicked raw and proudly untamed” talent (Bloody-Disgusting.com), Dead Souls is a terrifying venture to the dark side that will haunt you long after you’ve turned the last page.
Dead Souls by J. Lincoln Fenn. Releases in September 2016 from Gallery Books. OMG this sounds SO. GOOD. I love “deal with the devil” stories, and I love seeing some fantastic reviews already on Goodreads. This is one of Simon & Schuster’s booth giveaways on Thursday, so watch my Twitter feed to see if I was lucky enough to get a copy!
Let me know what you’re waiting on this week:-)
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I have an eARC of this from Netgalley and agree with you, it sounds awesome. Have a blast at Comic Con and can’t wait to hear all about it!
