Waiting on Wednesday



Photobucket



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine to highlight upcoming releases that we are excited for.  Here is our pick this week:




Opal (Lux, #3) 
Expected Release: December 11 2012


No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.(Goodreads)




Why are we excited?

Daemon Black is the sexiest alien I have ever come across.  The ending to the 2nd book, Onyx was sexy, surprising and we cannot wait to see the direction the 3rd book takes.   If you have not read Obsidian and Onyx, do it...NOW!

Ceaseless (Existence Trilogy #3) by Abbi Glines

Ceaseless (Existence Trilogy, #3) 
Published September 18 2012

Can he make her fall in love with him… again?

When Pagan Moore proved worthy of Death’s devotion, he was given the gift of getting to keep her.

But Dank was never promised that Pagan would keep him.

When a soul is created, so is its mate. In every lifetime those souls find each other. They complete the other’s destiny. It’s time for Pagan’s soul to choose if she truly wants an eternity at Death’s side or if she wants the mate created just for her.

Dank didn’t think he had to worry about her choice. He knew where her heart belonged. Until he realized that every kiss, every touch, every moment of their time together would be washed from her memories. He would have to win her heart all over again and prove to her soul that he was where she belonged.

If only her soul’s mate wasn’t right there standing in his way.(Goodreads)


Review: 4.5 Stars 

It is rare that the 3rd book in a trilogy is more enjoyable than the first 2.  In this case, it is!! Ceaseless did not disappoint. It was a more mature and sexy addition to the trilogy.  

I loved the new twist to the story - Pagan already is connected to a soul, Jay her former high school boyfriend.  In order for Dank to keep her for himself, she has to choose on her own who she wants to be with.  To make it fair, The Diety took her memories.  All of them related to Dank.   

"If you want her Dankmar, then you have to win her heart from the soul made to be her mate."

Reading about Pagan's draw to Dank was fabulous.  She couldn't remember him and the connection they had was confusing. 

"It was hard to look away from his eyes.  Something in them was magnetic.  Almost like my body was drawn to him."

My favorite aspect of the book...the passion.  There was some major steam compared to the last 2 books!

"Understand this, Pagan Moore," he began in a deep sexy voice, "if you ever offer to strip for me then you will have my complete undivided, attention."

"Pagan's body was meant to be worshiped, and I would gladly do it for the rest of eternity." 

Overall, this was a great book!  I LOVED it!  Abbi Glines is one of my favorite authors.  If you haven't read her other works, check them out!
