Waiting on Wednesday: Lion Heart

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we cannot wait to get our hands on.

 I am waiting on:

Lion Heart (Scarlet, #3)
Title: Lion Heart
Author: A.C. Gaughen
Series: Scarlet #3
Publisher: Bloomsbury Children
Publication Date: May 19, 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Historical, Retellings
The eagerly-awaited conclusion to the Scarlet trilogy delivers another action-packed and romance-filled adventure.
Scarlet has captured the hearts of readers as well as the heart of Robin Hood, and after ceaseless obstacles and countless threats, readers will finally find out the fate of the Lady Thief.
Imprisoned by Prince John for months, Scarlet finds herself a long way from Nottinghamshire. After a daring escape from the Prince's clutches, she learns that King Richard’s life is in jeopardy, and Eleanor of Aquitaine demands a service Scarlet can’t refuse: spy for her and help bring Richard home safe. But fate—and her heart—won’t allow her to stay away from Nottinghamshire for long, and together, Scarlet and Rob must stop Prince John from going through with his dark plans for England. They can not rest until he’s stopped, but will their love be enough to save them once and for all?
Why am I waiting?
The Scarlet series by A.C. Gaughen has been one of my favorites since I first picked up Scarlet a little over 3 years ago. I love the turn the story took in Lady Thief, and I just have to know if Scarlet and Rob ever get to be together and get their happily ever after. I love the way A.C. Gaughen takes the Robin Hood legend and retells it is such an action-packed way. 

What are you waiting on?

Waiting on Wednesday: Chantress Fury

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we cannot wait to get our hands on.

 I am waiting on:

Chantress Fury (Chantress, #3)
Title: Chantress Fury
Author: Amy Butler Greenfield
Series: Chantress Trilogy #3
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Publication Date: May 5, 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, 
The sea is coming. We are coming. And we will drown you all.
With a song, Lucy can control the wind and the water; she can bring castles and kingdoms to their feet. Since Lucy mastered her powers, King Henry has kept her close as he’s rebuilt England. She’s his best ally—and his workhorse. And now he’s called her to investigate attempted murder: His men claim they were almost killed on the Thames…by a mermaid. All Lucy can glean from the creature they’ve captured is a warning: The sea is coming. We are coming. And we will drown you all.
And then the floods begin. Swaths of London are submerged as the people scramble to defend themselves against the water—and the monsters—that are flooding their streets. As mistrust of Lucy's magic grows, the king relies on Nat, Lucy's great love, to guide them through the storm. But Nat is cold and distant to Lucy. He swore his love only a year before, and now he calls her “stranger.”
Lucy is determined to defeat this powerful new magic alone if she must. But then she hears an eerie song within the water…can it mean that she’s not the last Chantress after all?
Sweepingly romantic and crackling with magic, Chantress Fury triumphantly concludes the powerful Chantress trilogy.
Why am I waiting?
I have love this series since I first read Chantress two years ago, and I am not sure I want to say goodbye. I do however want to know where the end of the story means for Lucy and for Nat. I am still rooting for them, but things did not look their brightest in Chantress Alchemy. I think it would be an interesting turn if there was another Chantress.
