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:
Two brothers.
Seven vices.
One demonic possession.
Can this relationship survive?
Auben Mutze has more vices than he can deal with—six to be exact—each branded down his arm for all the world to see. They mark him as a lesser twin in society, as inferior, but there’s no way he’ll let that define him. Intelligent and outgoing, Auben’s spirited antics make him popular among the other students at his underprivileged high school. So what if he’s envious of his twin Kasim, whose single vice brand is a ticket to a better life, one that likely won’t involve Auben.
The twins’ strained relationship threatens to snap when Auben starts hearing voices that speak to his dangerous side—encouraging him to perform evil deeds that go beyond innocent mischief. Lechery, deceit, and vanity run rampant. And then there are the inexplicable blood cravings. . . .
On the southern tip of an African continent that could have been, demons get up to no good during the time of year when temperatures dip and temptations rise. Auben needs to rid himself of these maddening voices before they cause him to lose track of time. To lose his mind. And to lose his . . .

WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I just finished The Prey of Gods and am convinced I now want more from Nicky Drayden. Her writing seems to be a perfect fit for someone like me who doesn't read a lot of science fiction.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
Whoa, I've never heard of this author, but this book sounds fantastic! I'm glad you shared this one cuz I'm adding it to my TBR :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad I could enable you!
DeleteThis one does sound interesting so I will be waiting to see what you think of it when you get to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Prey of Gods so I'm hoping this becomes a favorite author eventually. Only time with tell.
DeleteGreat choice! I just saw this and immediately added it to my TBR even though I still need to get to The Prey of Gods.
ReplyDeleteI finished The Prey of Gods and adored it. Look for my review soon. I am pretty sure you'll love it!
DeleteThe synopsis is interesting, and I like the idea of vices playing a significant role in society.
ReplyDeleteDo you know why one vice better than six?
Do You Dog-ear?
Nope I have no idea :)
DeleteIt's funny that I love SF films and TV series yet I rarely read a SF book. I'm weird...!
ReplyDeleteIt's not one of my most-read either but I'm working on it.
DeleteThis one is new to me but it sounds really good. Demonic possession? Yes, please!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for it too. Sounds like there is a lot going on it - which was a lot like her last book. But she handles it all well.
DeleteVices? demonic Possessions? HELL YES! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteHope we both love this one.
DeleteHmm, this seems interesting! I can’t recall ever having heard of this author, but as always I look forward to seeing what you think about it.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to have a lot our but The Prey of Gods was her last. You should check it out.
DeleteOooh! This sounds AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI think so too!
DeleteYeah I saw this and immediately wanted to read it - though I really should get to Prey of Gods first before being tempted by something new :D
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Yes, read The Prey of Gods. I'm interested to hear your thoughts now that I finished it.
DeleteI don't read a lot of SF but this one sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteMe either but I'm hopeful about this one.
DeleteGood choice. Sounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne.
DeleteI love finding new authors to love! Hope you love this one!
ReplyDeleteOh hello, new fantastic book I should have found earlier! This sounds amazing, Barb!
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about this one, to be honest, Barb. While I like the fact that it's science fiction does appeal to me, I don't like the mention of demons. So I guess I'll have to pass. Hope you really enjoy reading it, though! :) :)
