"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
Rebel Seoul by
Axie Oh
After a great war, the
East Pacific is in ruins. In brutal Neo Seoul, where status comes from
success in combat, ex-gang member Lee Jaewon is a talented pilot rising
in the ranks of the academy. Abandoned as a kid in the slums of Old
Seoul by his rebel father, Jaewon desires only to escape his past and
prove himself a loyal soldier of the Neo State.
When Jaewon is
recruited into the most lucrative weapons development division in Neo
Seoul, he is eager to claim his best shot at military glory. But the
mission becomes more complicated when he meets Tera, a test subject in
the government’s supersoldier project. Tera was trained for one purpose:
to pilot one of the lethal God Machines, massive robots for a
never-ending war.
With secret orders to report on Tera, Jaewon
becomes Tera’s partner, earning her reluctant respect. But as respect
turns to love, Jaewon begins to question his loyalty to an oppressive
regime that creates weapons out of humans. As the project prepares to go
public amidst rumors of a rebellion, Jaewon must decide where he
stands—as a soldier of the Neo State, or a rebel of the people.
Pacific Rim meets Korean action dramas in this mind-blowing, New Visions Award-winning science fiction debut.

“Naasir stretched lazily before settling back into his previous
position. “I’m old enough now, and I want someone to play with like you
play with Janvier and Raphael does with Elena. Even Dmitri plays with
Honor.” This seemed to fascinate him. “The rules are secret in each
game. I want to have secret rules with a woman who . . .” A long pause.
“A woman who knows me, understands what I am, and who wants to have
secret rules with me.”
Archangel's Shadows by Nalini Singh
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
The debut romance that
Katie McGarry calls "fun [and] full of heart" with "a hero who stole my
heart!” Part Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," part Paramore's "Still Into
You."
It’s summer romance and second chances, the songs that stay in your head, and the boy you’ll never forget.
Two
years after rock-song-worthy heartbreak, Virginia Miller is looking
forward to a fun, carefree summer. Her friends just landed a spot on a
battling bands reality show, and Vee is joining them for her dream
internship on tour. Three months with future rockstars seems like an
epic summer plan. Until she learns she’ll also be sharing the bus with
Cam. Her first love, and her first heartbreak. Now Vee has more than
just cameras to dodge, and Cam’s determination to win her forgiveness is
causing TMZ-worthy problems for both of them. With cameras rolling,
she’ll have to decide if her favorite breakup anthem deserves a new
ending. And if she’s brave enough to expose her own secrets to keep
Cam’s under wraps.

"As you dream, know that you are loved."
"’Course I am. I’m yours.”
Archangel's Legion by Nalini Singh
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
Jane has lived an
ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia—an adjunct professor and deep
sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make the world feel
expansive and to turn life into an adventure. But Aunt Magnolia was lost
a few months ago in Antarctica on one of her expeditions.
Now,
with no direction, a year out of high school, and obsessed with making
umbrellas that look like her own dreams (but mostly just mourning her
aunt), she is easily swept away by Kiran Thrash—a glamorous, capricious
acquaintance who shows up and asks Jane to accompany her to a gala at
her family's island mansion called Tu Reviens.
Jane remembers her
aunt telling her: "If anyone ever invites to you to Tu Reviens, promise
me that you'll go." With nothing but a trunkful of umbrella parts to
her name, Jane ventures out to the Thrash estate. Then her story takes a
turn, or rather, five turns. What Jane doesn't know is that Tu Reviens
will offer her choices that can ultimately determine the course of her
untethered life. But at Tu Reviens, every choice comes with a reward, or
a price.

This week I'm waiting on:
Kennedy Rhodes turns
down an acceptance to an elite private school, instead choosing to stay
at her high school and jump at the opportunity to date the boy of her
dreams. Three years later, Kennedy walks in on that same boyfriend
cheating with her best friend—and wishes she had made a different
choice. But when Kennedy hits her head and wakes up in the version of
her life where she chose to attend the private school, she finds that
maybe it’s not as perfect of a world as she once thought.
