Waiting on Wednesday (109)

Waiting on Wednesday
is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine
 that showcases upcoming releases 
that people are very much anticipating.

I love paranormal creatures--especially vampires and werewolves--but I haven't read much about the typically infamous witches. But the following book sounds like it could be a wicked one, especially with witch hunting, wizards, and pirates. Double, double, toil and trouble!

Title: The Witch Hunter
Author: Virginia Boecker
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Publishing Date: July 2, 2015
Pages: 368

The magic and suspense of Graceling meet the political intrigue and unrest of Game of Thrones in this riveting fantasy debut.

Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. When she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to die at the stake. Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that's been laid upon him.

As she's thrust into the world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and all-too-handsome healers, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, and of love and hate.


What book are you hoping puts a spell on you?

  3. I was sold on this the moment I heard there were witches and pirates! I never read a book with both of them so that should be very interesting!
