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.
SYNOPSIS: When Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, is unexpectedly called to Paris to present at a medical conference, she expects nothing more exciting than professional discourse on zombie reconstructive surgery and skin disease in bogeymen -- and hopefully at least one uneventful night at the Opera.
Unfortunately for Greta, Paris happens to be infested with a coven of vampires -- and not the civilized kind. If she hopes to survive, Greta must navigate the darkest corners of the City of Lights, the maze of ancient catacombs and mine-tunnels underneath the streets, where there is more to find than simply dead men's bones.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I still need to read Strange Practice but enough trusted bloggers have read and reviewed it that I am pretty sure I'll love it. And like most bookworms, I can't let the fact that I haven't read book #1 keep me from wanting book #2.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
I still need to read the first one too! But I've also heard great things!
ReplyDeleteYOU WOULD TOTALLY LOVE IT! i didn't even realise this was on the horizon! ALSO PARIS OMG!
ReplyDeleteI forget where I saw it. Must have been in a newsletter or something. I HAVE to make time for book 1.
DeleteI need to get moving and read the first one as this sounds good...
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with ya!
DeleteI also need to read the first - this can be my incentive.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Seems like a lot of people may be cracking this one open soon.
DeleteI found that funny when we bookworms crave a book when we haven't read the previous book in a series! We I guess we do develop an instinct right? :)
ReplyDeleteEither than or it's the habit of collecting them all so we have them when we want them.
DeleteI think I have the first one. I really need to get my Kindle in order. LOL This sounds like a fun series.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound fun.
DeleteThe covers for this series are so good! I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteI think they are great too!
DeleteOk, this one sounds creepy and fascinating at the same time! No wonder you're waiting for this second instalment even if you didn't read the first book in the series ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and stopping by my blog earlier!
Thanks for visiting The Farm Silvia!
DeleteOddly enough, the cover is screaming Hamlet to me, but I have to say, a doctor to the undead and a protagonist who's name eludes to Van Helsig, sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it?
DeleteGreat choice! I'm excited to read this, even though I wasn't completely crazy about book #1. But I'm curious to see if I like the second book more, sometimes that happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes but unfortunately if I am not thrilled about book 1, I don't want to be fair and give book 2 a chance.
DeleteOooh, that one looks good! It's a series? I will have to go check out the first one. Great pick! Thanks for stopping by my CWW on Lisa Loves Literature earlier!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Hope you love it if you give it a try!
DeleteOooh! I love that cover and it looks like a nice and creepy read! Awesome pick!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
Yep, I love my creepy reads.
DeleteI hadn't heard about this series yet. Good cover and interesting premise. Hope you love it when you get to read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura.
DeleteI imagine not much goes as planned for her when she's hoping for uneventful. This sounds like great fun. I hope you get a chance to read it, Barb.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that how it usually works - plan for calm and all hell erupts.
DeleteI still need to find the first one but these do sound great.
ReplyDeleteI think so.
DeleteI need to read the first one. It sounds so good! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh Paris and catacombs and undead! This one sounds like a blast. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it kind of had me at undead.
DeleteSounds fantastic. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

You're very welcome.
DeleteAaaand I need this book now. It not only sounds incredible but I also really love that cover. Wow! :D
ReplyDeleteWell at least you can read the first one if you haven't already.
DeleteOh I like the blue shade of this cover! Plus is just has this something special about it that makes you want to learn more
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty blue.
DeleteSounds interesting with an intriguing cover.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the cover more after looking at it for a while.
DeleteThe first book received some mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to get my hands on this one either!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I think you were one of the people I was thinking of when I said I knew others had really liked the first one.
DeleteI've never heard of this one but am definitely going to be checking out the first one ASAP!

ReplyDeleteWhile this one does not sound like a book I would normally read, I do adore that cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at my blog earlier :)
New author to me, but it sounds great (though I usually don´t read books with zombies in it) and the cover - holy moly! Happy reading and thanks for sharing. Might go on my wishlist *smile*
ReplyDeleteSorry for my late reply.
Best wishes

Oh, that cover.....SHUDDERS!!! You know I like vamps, but there are zombies in this one, too.... MORE SHUDDERS!! I checked this book out on Goodreads, and one of the categories it's classified under is.....YUP. HORROR. So I'll DEFINITELY pass!
ReplyDeleteThe one exception to the above is "Dread Nation", as you know. I really CAN'T WAIT to read that one! Must be the kick-butt female, and BLACK, MC!! (PLUS the cover ROCKS, TOO!!) :) :) :)
Thanks for sharing! Thanks as well for commenting on my own CWW post!! Hope you're having a GREAT Saturday!! (And sorry for the late comment back....)
HUGS TO YOU AND THE BOYS, AND WOOF, WOOF TO THEM, TOO!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
