"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Winner's Crime
by Marie Rutkoski
Series: The Winner's Trilogy #2
Book two of the dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.
The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.
As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

***I can't wait to read the second book in the Winner's Trilogy! I really enjoyed reading the first book and the second sounds promising :) Plus I am absolutely in love with the cover, it stands out and I like how it follows the first book. ***

I'll definitely read The Winner's Crime, but I wasn't as taken with the first book as the rest of the world. It needed more action, so hopefully this one will deliver it. Here's my WoW
