"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Ok, so this week's WOW is very special to me...because I had been waiting on it for ever and I guess I'll finally put it on my WOW. This book, well technically series, is also loved by the one and only Cory Beatty, @CoryBeatty. Ok enough talking, now to the book.
The Rising (Department 19 #2) by Will Hill
Synopsis via Goodreads: Sixteen-year-old Jamie Carpenter's life was violently upended when he was brought into Department 19, a classified government agency of vampire hunters that was formed to deal with a little problem . . . known as Dracula.
But being the new recruit at the Department isn't all weapons training and covert missions. Jamie's own mother has been turned into a vampire - and now Jamie will stop at nothing to wreak revenge on her captors. Even if that means facing down Dracula himself.
The Rising is a fast, furious, can't-turn-away thrill ride that will suck readers in just like a video game. This riveting second book in the Department Nineteen series is packed with cutting-edge gadgets, international locales, and daredevil action that tumbles ferociously across the page - perfect for fans of Darren Shan and Anthony Horowitz.
So you might asked why am I kind of fan-girling over this book? I'll give you some reasons...
1. The plot is super cool! Oh yeah! Finally a kickass male character.
2. The first book was FDOKRKGU RMTRU MRGHERFJAFA~ SOOO GOOD! I still remember reading the first book last year and just dying how the first page mentioned Arsenal (A British Football Team) and I instantly connected. <3.
3. Will Hill is a Liverpool fan (at least I hope he still is).
4. The covers are too die for gorgeous! Who is also sick of a giant girl face on the cover....well I guess the book won't really work even if they sell it like that since the main character Jamie is a dude. :3 Ok now I am just rambling.
Um...I wonder if you can find my review of Department 19 on Goodreads...I did a really short one...oh yeah here it is, Review. Keep in mind that the review was done before I started blogging so it maybe very "noob".
Any who, this is my WOW this week. <3 What was your WOW?
Sounds interesting!!
