Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that you’re excited about. This start of a new series looks like a fun mash-up of fairy tales, fae, and it has an urban fantasy vibe as well. Here’s what I’m waiting on:
Free Agent (Grimm Agency #1) by J.C. Nelson. Release date: July 29 2014 (Penguin/Ace). Girl with a gun on the cover is always a good sign for me! I love the tie-in to the Brothers Grimm. Here’s the description from Goodreads:
When it comes to crafting happily-ever-afters, the Agency is the best in the land of Kingdom. The Fairy Godfather Grimm can solve any problem—from eliminating imps to finding prince charming—as long as you can pay the price…
Working for Grimm isn’t Marissa Locks’s dream job. But when your parents trade you to a Fairy Godfather for a miracle, you don’t have many career options. To pay off her parents’ debt and earn her freedom, Marissa must do whatever Grimm asks, no matter what fairy-tale fiasco she’s called on to deal with.
Setting up a second-rate princess with a first-class prince is just another day at the office. But when the matchmaking goes wrong, Marissa and Grimm find themselves in a bigger magical muddle than ever before. Not only has the prince gone missing, but the Fae are gearing up to attack Kingdom, and a new Fairy Godmother is sniffing around Grimm’s turf, threatening Marissa with the one thing she can’t resist: her heart’s wishes.
Now Marissa will have to take on Fairies, Fae, dragons, and princesses to save the realm—or give up any hope of ever getting her happy ending…
Doesn’t this sound awesome? Let me know what you’re waiting on, too!
Oh I love anything to do with fairy tales! This sounds great! Nice pick! My WOW
Evil fae. That alone makes it worth considering at least.
Hmmm, fantasy/fairy tale 😀 I’ve never heard of this book, but I love the genre, and OMG the cover it is PURPLE! My favorite ^_^ Hope you love this one when you read it, Tammy!
Check out my WoW post!
I certainly hope you enjoy it. And when I saw the purple on the color, I did a completely undignified dance around my computer, even though I couldn’t show it to anyone.
Thanks for stopping by, JC!
This sounds so legit! I love things like this! Adding it!
