Waiting on Wednesday (4): The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Frances Long
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week:
The trees swallowed her brother whole. And Jenny was there to see it. Years later, when she returns to the woods where Tom was taken to say good-bye at last, she finds herself lured into a world where stunning beauty masks the most treacherous of evils, and strange and dangerous creatures await—creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with allegiances that shift as much as his moods. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack’s help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where nothing is what it seems, no one is who they say, and she’s faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice—and not just her own. (From Goodreads)
Not only is this cover gorgeous, but the synopsis had me at the very first sentence. “The trees swallowed her brother whole.”?!?!? This book sounds completely dark and amazing.
What book are you waiting on? Let me know, or leave a link to your WoW post in the comments, and I’ll stop by your blog!
