Can't Wait Wednesday, which I have adapted to better suit my blog as "Feed Your TBR" 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: When Detective Domenica Kiernan solved the murder of a mayor’s aide—killed by a vampire—she never imagined she’d find herself at the vanguard of the NYPD’s latest special the Supernatural Crimes Unit.
Tasked with closing cases involving magic and monsters, the SCU has dealt with a shape-changing domovoy committing assault in Chelsea, the murder of a kappa on City Island, a thieving Taotie in Chinatown—and their latest, two murder victims whose corpses have been liquefied by a powerful spell.
Kiernan and the rest of the SCU must find the connection between the two victims and figure out who cast the spell that destroyed the corpses. Soon, their investigation leads to a malevolent magic-user who yearns for limitless power, whose plans go far beyond disposing of a dead body. He’ll stop at nothing to achieve his goals—including kidnapping Bobby, Kiernan’s ten-year-old son.
The SCU has no they must go rogue to find Bobby and stop the wizard before he unleashes hell on Earth!

WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I admit the cover isn't doing much for me, but the synopsis sounds like just the type of urban fantasy I love. I'm excited to meet some of these new creatures.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
I kind of see what they were trying to do with the cover, but it's sort of bland, right? But I agree, the story sounds like fun. Thanks for putting this on my radar!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound fun!

This sounds interesting Barb! Happy reading.☺️
ReplyDeleteThe blurb reads like a cracking urban fantasy adventure - but I agree with both you and Tammy, that cover is underwhelming.
ReplyDeleteYes, the synopsis sounds good. The cover doesn't do it justice. Thanks for sharing it. Hope you enjoy it!
