"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:
Kalliope lives with one purpose.
To inspire.
As
an immortal muse, she doesn’t have any other choice. It’s part of how
she was made. Musicians, artists, actors—they use her to advance their
art, and she uses them to survive. She moves from one artist to the
next, never staying long enough to get attached. But all she wants is a
different life— a normal one. She’s spent thousands of years living lie
after lie, and now she’s ready for something real.
Sweet, sexy,
and steady, Wilder Bell feels more real than anything else in her long
existence. And most importantly… he’s not an artist. He doesn’t want her
for her ability. But she can’t turn off the way she influences people,
not even to save a man she might love. Because in small doses, she can
help make something beautiful, but her ability has just as much capacity
to destroy as it does to create. The longer she stays, the more
obsessed Wilder will become. It’s happened before, and it never turns
out well for the mortal.
Her presence may inspire genius.
But it breeds madness, too. (Blurb via Goodreads)
