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: Five friends cursed. Five deadly fates. Five nights of retribución.
If Lupe Dávila and Javier Utierre can survive each other’s company, together they can solve a series of grisly murders sweeping though Puerto Rico. But the clues lead them out of the real world and into the realm of myths and legends. And if they want to catch the killer, they'll have to step into the shadows to see what's lurking there—murderer, or monster?
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: First of all, I really want to know more about that creature on the cover. Also, I haven't read a lot of books set in Puerto Rico. This is being released from Tor which is one of my favorite publishers so I'm hoping that's a good sign too!
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK????
It sounds interesting. My concern is the 'survive each others company' bit as it sounds like bickering angst which is not my favourite thing! I'm curious about the monster though and I haven't read anything set in the country.
ReplyDeleteYea, I bet there will be a couple of characters I want to die but sometimes, that's part of the fun. Okay, rereading that sentence makes me sounds somewhat unstable :)
DeleteOooh, I am with you -- I haven't read a book based in Puerto Rico, and the added bonus of creatures of myth and legends.
ReplyDeleteYes, myths and legends of different cultures always intrigue me.
DeleteFive Midnights sounds great, love the title and cover. I am excited for Catherine Cavendish's The Haunting of Henderson Close which comes out Jan 10th.
ReplyDeleteOh I want to read that one too. Arrrgggh, too many books!
DeleteOoh, sounds a bit creepy, and yeah, what is that thing on the cover??
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I'm torn between a jellyfish with legs or a giant bug.
DeleteI almost picked this today! This sounds so good, and the cover really makes you want to read it, right?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
DeleteI am kind of curious about this one and that monster almost looks like a weird Jellyfish from the shape and with the hanging arm things. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally see the jellyfish thing.
DeleteA weird jellyfish? Now I am really curious too.

Seems to be the consensus.
DeleteThat is a creepy cover- almost gives me a stranger Things vibe, with how huge the creature is. And set in Puerto Rico- nice!
ReplyDeleteOh now that you mention it, I totally feel the Stranger Things comparison.
DeleteOh, yes... that creature on the cover is glorious! I love that it's set in Puerto Rico, too. Thanks for the heads up. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome!
DeleteYes, what is that thing on the cover? I must know. It looks like a roach that was hit by radiation.
ReplyDeleteMan, so many guesses on the cover. Hope none of us are disappointed!
DeleteWow look at that cover, you're right, it makes me really curious too! Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI am really excited about this one too. I hope it ends up being a good read for both of us!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteWow, that cover is so eerie. I want to know what that creature is too!
ReplyDeleteI think this book might be quite popular!
DeleteOooh! I can't wait to see what you think of this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica and thanks for visiting!
DeleteI want to know more about that creature on the cover too! I hope you enjoy this one, Barb!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole.
DeleteOh wow, creepy. I agree, most of the draw I feel towards this book is wanting to find out more about that thing on the cover!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Whoever did the cover knew what they were doing.
DeleteMmmm this seems a bit creepy for me but I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo.
Deleteoh wow I WANT THIS BOOK TOO! A fantasy with Hispanic characters! and I haven't read any book set in Puerto Rico! Can't wait to hear what how you liked it!
ReplyDeleteI thought it sounded right up your alley!
DeleteWhat is that creature on the cover?? Enquiring minds need to know. I'll have to check this one out too.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Seems like a lot of people want to know!
DeleteInteresting choice, Barb! :) :)
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about monsters, but this book does have two things I haven't encountered in a novel yet -- it takes place in Puerto Rico (I think this is a first), and the murders must be solved by going to the mythical world! WOW. My curiosity is piqued! But....I will get this one from the library!
Thanks for sharing!! :) :) Also, I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas and New Year!! And thanks for commenting on my own CWW post!! HUGS TO YOU AND THOSE LOVABLE PUPS, AND "WOOF, WOOF" TO THEM!!!! Looking forward to that buddy read!! "ARF!!" <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
P.S. Sorry for the late comment back..... :(
I think it might be "tame" enough for you. At least it doesn't sound like it's full of slashers and blood. I'm looking forward to starting our read too! We're getting closer!
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!! Should be GREAT!! "ARF, ARF"!!! :) :)
