Waiting on Wednesday | Dark Heart of Magic by Jennifer Estep + Omega by Lizzy Ford

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights an upcoming book release that I'm looking forward to. This week I'm sharing with you the second book in the Black Blade series, Dark Heart of Magic by Jennifer Estep. This book is set to be released on October 27th, 2015.


Something Wicked This Way Comes...

As a thief, I stick to the shadows as much as possible. But when the head of the Sinclair Family picks me to compete in the Tournament of Blades, there's no escaping the spotlight—or the danger.

Even though he's my competition, Devon Sinclair thinks I have the best shot at winning what's supposed to be a friendly contest. But when the competitors start having mysterious "accidents," it looks like someone will do anything to win—no matter who they hurt.

As if I didn't have enough to worry about, mobster Victor Draconi is plotting against Devon and the rest of my friends, and someone's going around Cloudburst Falls murdering monsters. One thing's for sure. Sometimes, humans can be more monstrous than anything else...

****

Why am I looking forward to Dark Heart of Magic?

1.) I really liked the first book and can't wait to continue the series.

2.) It looks like tensions are increasing exponentially between the Families and I want to see what Victor Draconi has up his evil sleeve and how Lila and her friends handle it.

3.) This line has me intrigued, "someone's going around Cloudburst Falls murdering monsters. One thing's for sure. Sometimes, humans can be more monstrous than anything else..."


You can preorder Dark Heart of Magic for $7.53 on Amazon!


I'm also sharing with you Omega by Lizzy Ford, which is the first book in the Omega series. This book is set to be released on October 26th, 2015.


In a modern world ruled by territorial Greek gods, the human race has been oppressed, exploited and now, nearly destroyed by the constant infighting of gods.

However, a human girl with the power of a goddess is coming of age. Alessandra is the Oracle of Delphi – the last prophesized – and bears the mark of the double omega. Soon after she turns eighteen, Alessandra is told her destiny: to step between the warring gods and the human race and save her world from certain ruin.

For the gods, her appearance marks the beginning of the end – their end. They and the Triumvirate – leaders of the human elite – who serve them will stop at nothing to preserve their power.

Alessandra emerges from the forest where she spent her life hidden from gods and men and immediately plummets into a race against time, gods, and herself to discover who and what she is in a world where everyone she meets has a hidden agenda, and those pulling the strings remain in the shadows.

Before she can determine exactly what kind of savior her world needs, she must first master her power by completing three trials devised by the Triumvirate to enslave her.

One lone girl stands between warring gods and the people she’s destined to protect, but it’s the battle to understand who she is that she must win first.

Why am I looking forward to Omega?

1.) I love Greek mythology.

2.) I love retellings.

3.) It's by Lizzy Ford.


You can preorder Omega for $3.99 on Amazon!
