Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine
 and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Aerie is the second novel in Maria Dahvana Headley’s duology, Magonia, which was one of my favorite reads last year. As a fan of Headley’s writing and highly anticipated, Aerie ended up being an enjoyable read, if somewhat of a lesser loved one. 

Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh brings to YA a lyrical and atmospheric read set on the Isle of Man during the early 1900’s where mystery and romance collide in this haunting tale of magic and legend.

Of Sand and Malice is a prequel to Bradley P. Beaulieu’s novel Twelve Kings in Sharakhai introducing readers to a younger Ceda, the fierce heroine who just happens to be a pit-fighter by day and runner at night. Once again, the desert city of Sharakhai is brought to life and this time, Ceda finds herself dealing with an otherworldly desert creature preying on those closest to Ceda.
