Waiting on Wednesday (12)

Waiting on Wednesday" is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

May 4 is going to be a fun day - there are a few things coming out that I'm looking forward to. Here are two of those:

White Cat (The Curse Workers)

by Holly Black

Released: May 4, 2010

Summary from Baker & Taylor:

"Rendered an outsider because of his dubious family of magical con artists, Cassel struggles with lingering guilt over his role in a friend's death years earlier and begins experiencing bizarre dreams about a white cat that make him question his dead friend's actual fate."

I love all things Holly Black, and really look forward to this one. Her recent short story book just reminded me how much I love her stuff.

Vampire Rising (Alex Van Helsing)
by Jason Henderson
Released: May 4, 2010

Summary from Baker & Taylor:

"Attending a boarding school in Switzerland, the 14-year-old descendant of a legendary vampire hunter learns of a secret school for vampires nearby and a dangerous vampire clan lord who is using his students to execute a deadly plot. A first teen novel by the creator of the Sword of Dracula comic book series."

I think this book looks fascinating. I haven't read the comic series by this author, but I think it sounds really cool. I'm excited to get my hands on this one!
