Waiting on Wednesday (30)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spines, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Guess who hasn't posted a WoW for two/three weeks. That's right, this girl. If you didn't know, school started for me! The only reliable postings will be on weekends and scheduled promos until I get in the swing of things again. But do not fear, I will eventually catch up!

To get caught up, this week I'm featuring The Queen of Zombie Hearts by Gena Showalter and Unmarked by Kami Garcia! The Queen of Zombie Hearts is the final book in a trilogy that I'm dying to read, and if you're in the NC area, we're reading the first book, Alice in Zombieland, for the book club that I run at The Regulator Bookshop! As for Unmarked, I devoured the first book and need to know what happens next. Plus, Kami will be here in early October! Squee!

Synopsis:

The Queen of Zombie Hearts


I have a plan.

We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us.

Either way, only one of us is walking away.

In the stunning conclusion to the wildly popular White Rabbit Chronicles, Alice "Ali" Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun.

As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control the zombies…and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the woman responsible for killing—and turning—Cole's mother. How can their relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima—even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.

Release: September 30, 2014

Unmarked

He is here... and he could be anyone.

Kennedy Waters lives in a world where vengeance spirits kill, ghosts keep secrets, and a demon walks among us–a demon she accidentally set free.

Now Kennedy and the other Legion members–Alara, Priest, Lukas, and Jared–have to hunt him down. As they learn more about the history of the Legion and the Illuminati, Kennedy realizes that the greatest mystery of all does not belong to any secret order, but to her own family. With the clock ticking and the life of someone she loves hanging in the balance, Kennedy has to ask the question she fears most: what is it about her past that has left her Unmarked?
