Waiting on Wednesday: Double Trouble

It’s the first Waiting on Wednesday of our baby blog!

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to share the books on our growing TBRs that we can’t wait to read! It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, previously hosted by Breaking the Spine.

For Adriana:

WICKED FOX by Kat Cho

Eighteen-year-old Gu Miyoung has a secret—she's a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must eat devour the energy of men in order to survive. Because so few believe in the old tales anymore, and with so many evil men no one will miss, the modern city of Seoul is the perfect place to hide and hunt.

But after feeding one full moon, Miyoung crosses paths with Jihoon, a human boy, being attacked by a goblin deep in the forest. Against her better judgment, she violates the rules of survival to rescue the boy, losing her fox bead—her gumiho soul—in the process.

Jihoon knows Miyoung is more than just a beautiful girl—he saw her nine tails the night she saved his life. His grandmother used to tell him stories of the gumiho, of their power and the danger they pose to men. He's drawn to her anyway. When he finds her fox bead, he does not realize he holds her life in his hands.

With murderous forces lurking in the background, Miyoung and Jihoon develop a tenuous friendship that blossoms into something more. But when a young shaman tries to reunite Miyoung with her bead, the consequences are disastrous and reignite a generations-old feud . . . forcing Miyoung to choose between her immortal life and Jihoon's.

Doesn’t that just sound incredible? WICKED FOX comes out on June 25th, 2019, and I know it would absolutely be worth the wait!

After their thrilling European escapades rescuing Lucina van Helsing, Mary Jekyll and her friends return home to discover that their friend and kitchen maid Alice has vanished— and so has their friend and employer Sherlock Holmes!

As they race to find Alice and bring her home safely, they discover that Alice and Sherlock’s kidnapping are only one small part of a plot that threatens Queen Victoria, and the very future of the British Empire. Can Mary, Diana, Beatrice, Catherine, and Justine save their friends—and save the Empire?

This series has been amazing, and we can’t wait for the last book to come out on October 1st, 2019! (Well, we can wait, but we don’t want to!)
