Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
FROM GOODREADS: In this hotly anticipated sequel to the haunting #1 bestseller Stalking Jack the Ripper, bizarre murders are discovered in the castle of Prince Vlad the Impaler, otherwise known as Dracula. Could it be a copycat killer...or has the depraved prince been brought back to life?
Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper's true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe's best schools of forensic medicine...and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.
But her life's dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school's forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: Have I read "Stalking Jack the Ripper" yet - NOPE. Will it stop me from buying this one - NOPE. Need I say more?
What book can't you wait for this week?
I actually like the concept of this one and the previous book...I've always been interested in Jack the Ripper and Vlad and read a few books about them many years back. Love the cover too. However one thing I hate in books is the arrogant male love interest trope so that kind of puts me off both books!
ReplyDeleteOooh I need this one!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would.
DeleteNope, you definitely don't need to say more -- wow and also a little bit of YIKES, but great pick! Here's mine: http://editingeverything.com/blog/2017/04/05/waiting-oncant-wait-wednesday-masters-sun/
ReplyDeleteI love your pick this week as well.
DeleteThis reminds me that I have a copy of Stalking Jack the Ripper that I need to read as well...great choice! I definitely want to catch up with this series.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, I do too. Oh well, maybe this will motivate us.
DeleteI love to read about Jack The Ripper, vampires and anything that could be bloody murder. LOL
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
I'm right there with you!
Deletelol, you are as bad as me!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should start a blood murder book club - haha. Bet Chuckles would join too!
DeleteSounds good to me ;)
DeleteGreat pick! I hadn't heard of this one yet. It sounds good. Hope you enjoy it when you get to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love the cover.
DeleteI was already so anxious to read Stalking Jack the Ripper, but haven't had a chance to yet. Now that I see it is going to be a series, and this one looks sooooooooo good, I have got to get my hands on the first one! Great pick! Thanks for stopping by my Wednesday post on Lisa Loves Literature earlier!
ReplyDeleteSeems like this post might inspire quite a few to pick up the first one.
DeleteOh my - I love the sound of this. Likewise I haven't read the first - but now I want both!
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
There's just not enough time!
DeleteOoh I haven't read Jack the Ripper yet and this is the sequel? Looks great! Although maybe going to Romania wasn't such a good idea for her lol.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point.
DeleteI'm a sucker for anything Jack the Ripper related so I'll no doubt be picking up this series too. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too. Jack the Ripper, Lizzie Borden and Elizabeth Bathory. If a book is related to them, then I tend to want it!
DeleteI have to say this cover says READ ME!!! Pretty much anything Dracula says READ ME NOW to me :) Hope you enjoy it
ReplyDeleteThanks, hope you make time for it too.
DeleteThis is one of my most anticipated books! I adored Stalking Jack the Ripper, so I highly recommend reading that one soon :) Awesome pick!
ReplyDeleteBrittany @ Brittany's Book Rambles
Thanks Brittany!
DeleteThat's a fantastic cover! Will look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie.
DeleteThis looks good! I still want to read Stalking Jack the Ripper myself. I hope you enjoy it when you do get a chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteSeems tons of people still need to read Stalking Jack the Ripper and I figured I was the oddball on that.
DeleteHmmm...a book about prince Dracula. Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
I haven't really read a Dracula book lately.
DeleteI love that cover. Kind of noirish. And I like stories about Dracula. Looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is noirish isn't it. Hope the book lives up to the great cover.
DeleteNow I wish I'd paid more attention to the first book when it came out! This one actually sounds more interesting to me, but you know me, I can't ever bear to read any books in a series out of order :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I'm the same way!
DeleteI haven't read Stalking Jack the Ripper either but both these books sound so interesting since Jack the Ripper is interesting AND Dracula is interesting! This one actually makes me more tempted to give the series a try...
ReplyDeleteWhen Stalking Jack the Ripper came out, I didn't know it was going to be a series so I was surprised to stumble on this one.
DeleteWell, you know my kind of vamps are like the Cullen family in the Twilight books!! Lol. I also love the ones in the Vampire Academy series. Brooding, romantic vamps...those I ADORE!!
ReplyDeleteSure hope you enjoy this one, Barb!! Thanks for commenting on my CWW post!! Enjoy the rest of your day, and say "hi" to the boys!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
The boys say hi back and thanks for always stopping by and visiting The Farm.
DeleteI loved Stacking Jack and I am so eager to get my hands on this one. The characters in these books are fantastic, she is a great story teller and so funny!
