WoW because: I enjoyed The Poison Diaries - I liked the use of a real-life historical setting mixed with the paranormal element. From the synopsis for this sequel, it sounds like the story will fully embrace the gothic element and I'm intrigued by the idea of the heroine turning to the dark side.
I haven't read The Poison Diaries, but I've been wanting to! They both look really good. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a nice name for a guy. Weed. I have the first book in the series but I haven't read it yet. Definitely looking forward to this one. Great pick! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Waiting on Wednesday picks!
Looks pretty good :)
ReplyDeleteI also liked The Poison Diaries and will be looking forward to reading this one too. Great pick
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Poison Diaries, but I saw it in my local library last week, maybe I'll pick it up soon.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was going to be a sequel to TPD I will have to dig it out of my tbr pile before the second comes out.

It sounds really great :D
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Here is my Wow
Ii still haven't read The Poison Diaries but I've heard loads of great things! I like the covers to this series - great pick :)
ReplyDeleteNow, that is what I call a great cover! This story sounds great. I'd never heard of it before, but I've read and am a fan of Alison Sinclair's Darkborn trilogy (which is more fantasy than gothic. But there is a poison taster, and that was one of the elements I loved). Great WoW, hope you had a great weekend!
