Waiting on Wednesday (64) - Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
8:00 AMWaiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine spotlighting upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Summary (from Goodreads):
Not only does Born Wicked have a gorgeous cover, but the premise for the novel sounds just as great too! With a combination of witches, historical fiction, drama and romance, I'm sure I'll be falling in love with the novel quickly! Born Wicked is the first novel in The Cahill Witch Chronicles by debut author Jessica Spotswood! I'm definitely looking forward to reading this one!Everybody knows Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. But the truth is even worse: they're witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship—or an early grave.
Before her mother died, Cate promised to protect her sisters. But with only six months left to choose between marriage and the Sisterhood, she might not be able to keep her word...especially after she finds her mother's diary, uncovering a secret that could spell her family's destruction. Desperate to find alternatives to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely unsuitable Finn Belastra.
If what her mother wrote is true, the Cahill girls aren't safe. Not from the Brotherhood, the Sisterhood—not even from each other.

Wow that cover is gorgeous! Thanks for putting this book on my radar!
ReplyDeleteI am wickedly excited about this book, because witches are my favorite of the paranormal - simply because they're completely human and they rely on magics to get all supernaturally. :)

I've seen this a few times today. Historicals aren't usually my kind of genre, but I'm looking forward to this as well.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
great pick, I love the sound of this and the cover is pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnd I kind of like the convo of magic and historical, reminds me a little of Kat, Incorrigible, but for grown ups. :D
Tea parties + witches + forbidden romance sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this one either! I still haven't read too many books about witches, and it doesn't hurt that the cover of this one is gorgeous.
