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: Something weird is happening to the Los Angeles freeways—phantom cars, lanes from nowhere, and sometimes unmarked offramps that give glimpses of a desolate desert highway—and Sebastian Vickery, disgraced ex-Secret Service agent, is a driver for a covert supernatural-evasion car service. But another government agency is using and perhaps causing the freeway anomalies, and their chief is determined to have Vickery killed because of something he learned years ago at a halted Presidential motorcade.
Reluctantly aided by Ingrid Castine, a member of that agency, and a homeless Mexican boy, and a woman who makes her living costumed as Supergirl on the sidewalk in front of the Chinese Theater, Vickery learns what legendary hell it is that the desert highway leads to—and when Castine deliberately drives into it to save him from capture, he must enter it himself to get her out.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I think this sounds like a fun read and Cass happened to point out the bird on the cover. Plus I want to know more about the costumed Supergirl character.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK?
You always find the best books for this meme! This does sound fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen. I like showing ones that don't pop up everywhere.
DeleteThis absolutely does sound like fun! How does the Supergil character get involved in all this!?
ReplyDeleteI know. Kind of random for a Supergirl character huh?
DeleteOH! This does sound really fun!!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI have never heard about this book but it's sounds like such a fun read! Have a wonderful day, Barb!
ReplyDeleteYou too Lynn. I'll have to see what else the author has out in the meantime while waiting for this one.
DeleteHow fun! I also want to know about this characters dressed as supergirl!
ReplyDeleteLoads of fun huh?
DeleteGreat cover art and it does sound fun.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover as well.
DeleteA NEW TIM POWERS??? How did I not know about this??? I noticed that the publisher is Baen and they always put their books up on Edelweiss, so I'll be stalking them for the next few months, lol😁
ReplyDeleteI need to look at some of his other stuff. I've not really heard of him before.
DeleteYou always introduce me to amazing books! This sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy CWW
Glad I can enable you some!
DeleteOooooh this does sound like a fun read. I'm definitely interested in it. Great pick! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie.
DeleteYes, the costumed Supergirl caught my eye as well. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds good! I'm going to add it to my list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by The Farm Jan.
DeleteI hope you love it, Barb. I can't wait to read your thoughts when you get to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI like superheroes. Hope it's a good one for you.

Me too, especially since I just watched Justice League last night.
DeleteThis does sound kind of interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd crazy too!
DeleteHAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, BARB!! WOOT, WOOT!!! HUGS TO YOU & THE BOYS, AND WOOF, WOOF TO THEM!! Hope you and your hubby are enjoying the day!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now I want to say that this book is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!! You know that any book including the word "supernatural" or "paranormal" will instantly attract my attention! (Well, except for books in the horror genre, lol.) So thanks for featuring this one! <3 <3 ,3 :) :) :)
Glad you liked this one. We had a nice Valentine's Day at home. Hope yours was great as well.
DeleteWow this sounds unique and fun. I love the idea of the strange freeway happenings. Good one!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very quirky:). I'm sure I've read a Tim Powers book before but it was a long time ago, before I started keeping reading records. I hope you enjoy this one, Barb and many thanks for popping in.
ReplyDeleteYes, quirky is a good descriptor.
DeleteSounds like a fun read and a great pick?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Deleteomg boxers are so smart! I can picture Cass doing that! That's the best reason to get a book! <3<3
ReplyDeleteYep, Cass and his birds. It's odd. About 2 years ago we ran into the lady we bought him from and was talking and his mother was obsessed with birds too. Strange.
DeleteThis sounds like some tv shows in the past that I liked. Great pick! Hope you get your hands on it soon! Thanks for visiting my CWW on Lisa Loves Literature earlier.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
DeleteThis sounds awesome! I'm adding it to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad I could "help."
DeleteI saw this and said to myself "Wait, that Tim Powers?" He's written some fantastic stuff but I have yet to try him. This one looks like all kinds of fun though!
ReplyDeleteI gotta see what else he has written.
DeleteOooh! THis book looks interesting! Thanks for checking out my WoW!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing what you are waiting for each week :)
DeleteIt does look interesting and a supergirl....cool beans!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people might pick it up to figure out this Supergirl thing.
DeleteThis sounds pretty wild and definitely entertaining. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThis really does sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteThere's no way Cass was missing a bird on the cover!
ReplyDeleteNone at all!
DeleteNope, nothing gets by Cass.
ReplyDeleteGood eye, Cass! This does sound like a really fun book. I hope you enjoy it, Barb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole.
DeleteGreat pick Barb. I so didn't see that white bird on the cover, plus it sounds absolutely fantastic as well. Thank you so much for stopping by my WOW pick Barb.
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to pick the best books! I haven't heard of this one yet, but it's definitely going on my wish list. Thank you for sharing, Barb!
