Waiting on Wednesday (130)

"Waiting on Wednesday" is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Here is what I'm waiting on this week...

The Essence
by Kimberly Derting
To be released: January 01, 2012

Summary from Baker and Taylor:
"At the luminous conclusion of The Pledge, Charlaina defeated the tyrant Sabara and took her place as Queen of Ludania. But Charlie knows that Sabara has not disappeared: The evil queen's Essence is fused to Charlie's psyche, ready to arise at the first sign of weakness.


Charlie is not weak, but she's being pushed to the brink. In addition to suppressing the ever-present influence of Sabara, she's busy being queen and battling a growing resistance determined to return Ludania to its discriminatory caste system. Charlie wants to be the same girl Max loves, who Brook trusts, but she's Your Majesty now, and she feels torn in two.


As Charlie journeys to an annual summit to meet with leaders of nearby Queendoms - an event where her ability to understand all languages will be the utmost asset - she is faced with the ultimate betrayal. And the only person she can turn to for help is the evil soul residing within."

I really loved The Pledge, so I cannot wait for this new title by Kimberly Derting! I know it's going to be fantastic. I may have to do a refresher on the first book because it sounds like this picks up right in the middle of the story. But I can only imagine the amazing things that are going to happen in this one!

What are you waiting on this week?
