Waiting on Wednesday #10

"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:

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea 

by April Genevieve Tucholke

Expected publication: August 15th 2013 by Dial

You stop fearing the devil when you’re holding his hand…

Nothing much exciting rolls through Violet White’s sleepy, seaside town…until River West comes along. River rents the guesthouse behind Violet’s crumbling estate, and as eerie, grim things start to happen, Violet begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard. Is River just a crooked-smiling liar with pretty eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he be something more? Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the Devil, but she never said he could be a dark-haired boy who takes naps in the sun, who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery...who makes you want to kiss back. Violet’s already so knee-deep in love, she can’t see straight. And that’s just how River likes it.

Blending faded decadence and the thrilling dread of gothic horror, April Genevieve Tucholke weaves a dreamy, twisting contemporary romance, as gorgeously told as it is terrifying—a debut to watch.

She's also attending high school - balancing trigonometry, history, and recruiting souls for her father along with her wicked half-sister, Venus.

My Review:

*The book was provided by the author/book-tour for an honest review*

Angels, Demons, Betrayal, Love, Lust and a great Sacrifice. 

All of those elements made up the whole world of The Morning Star. As an angel/demon lover, I tend to read books that are all the same in their own way. With this book, I was pleasantly surprised to see a new take on Angels and Demons. The story was uniquely made and well-written. I loved it from the start (and that says a lot from the author). She was able to create fresh characters that I haven't seen before and it was exciting to read something new. With that said, the story evolves around Dawn, a high school student, who is anything but a regular girl. As the daughter of Lucifer, she and her half-sister Venus have lived for centuries recruiting souls for their dad. Apart from having awesome powers, they are different in their own ways. Dawn, is not only the daughter of Lucifer, but she is also the daughter of an angel. On the other hand, Venus is part demon and part siren (daughter of a succubus). With their differences aside, they are still two wickedly sisters that are on a hunt for souls and do the right thing (being bad) for their dad, Lucifer. Living as students in the human world is not always fun for the sisters, especially for Dawn since she is part good, it's sometimes hard for her to do bad things for her father. But it all changes when a exchanged student, Gabriel, comes to their school and starts pursuing Dawn. With the looks of an angel, Dawn is immediately attractive to him, which it is because of that attraction that a lot of problems come along as well. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book, it has everything in a book that I look for and it makes it a must-read on my list. I love the personalities of the characters and the mystery. Although in the ending we were left with a huge cliffhanger, it makes sense if there is going to be another book in the series. 

I can't wait to read what happens next and see where Dawn and Gabriel end up in the future.

Question:  Is there a song that reminds you of a book? Or vice versa? What is the song & the book?

Answer: I remember reading Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz (Blue Bloods Series) and listening to this song, and it completely went with the book. Now every time I listen to this song, it reminds me of the book and a particular scene that I love. :D
