Waiting on Wednesday (46)

Posted by Giselle

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. 

My pick this week:

Spirit and Dust

Rosemary Clement-Moore

Release date: May 14th, 2013

by Delacorte Books for Young Readers

 

Speaking to the dead is no new thing for Daisy Goodnight. The living, on the other hand, can occasionally be a problem. Especially when they knock you out, kidnap you, and force you to be their magical police dog.

Donald Maguire—mob boss, extraordinaire—has a missing daughter and Daisy is his first choice to track her down. But he didn’t actually ask her for help. When she woke up in his guest bedroom, she was told. But why her? And who—or what—in the world is the Black Jackal?

Spirits? Mob boss? Kidnapping? Missing girl? What’s not to love! Seriously!

PS: There’s a different synopsis on Amazon that gives a bit more away.

What did you pick this week?

Link me up! 🙂

    This is my first look at this book. It looks promising. The cover is super gorgeous.
    Your blog looks great, BTW.

    Jennifer Messerschmidt July 25th, 2012 05:51:50

    Really different. Mob boss kidnapping Daisy to find his daughter. But if she can talk to the dead is he assuming his daughter is dead? Very curious!
    My WOW

    I’ve heard great things about Rosemary Clement-Moore. I don’t know if I want this to be my first one or not. It does sound pretty darn cool.

    Also, laughing forever at “force you to be their magical police dog.”

    Is this going to be like The Sixth Sense meets Goodfellas?
