"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Frostfire by Amanda Hocking
Book One of the Kanin Chronicles
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Publication Date: January 6, 2015
Summary (from Goodreads):
Bryn Aven is an outcast among the Kanin, the most powerful of the troll tribes. Set apart by her heritage and her past, Brynn is a tracker who's determined to become a respected part of her world. She has just one goal: become a member of the elite King’s Guard to protect the royalty. She's not going to let anything stand in her way, not even a forbidden romance with her boss Ridley Dresden. But all her plans for the future are put on hold when Konstantin– a fallen hero who she once loved – appears to be up to something dangerous, kidnapping changelings. Bryn is sent in to help stop him, but will she lose her heart in the process?
I haven't read any of Hocking's other books - I know this series is a spinoff of her Trylle series. But I'm excited to start somewhere!
Ooh, I absolutely adore the Trylle books and can't wait for Frostfire. Also, the cover is so awesome! (I'm a little intrigued with the apparent rabbit theme. What's up with that???) Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteMy WOW: http://countinginbookcases.blogspot.com/2014/08/waiting-on-wednesday-39.html
Awesome! I'm glad to hear! I might binge-read them before reading this one, who knows. And I'm also curious about the theme...
DeleteThank you!!
Nice! I'm curious about this one too! But probably need to try reading her Trylle books first!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I think I might do the same, Jessica!
DeleteI haven't either, I thought it was apart of the Trylle series, not far off. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine
Kirsty @ StudioReads
Yup, a spinoff series!
DeleteThis one has a beautiful cover. I really like the summary of this. This one definitely is drawing me in. I hope you love it when you get it.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
I love the cover as well! Thank you, Grace.
DeleteI LOVED her Hollowland books and that cover is absolutely amazing so I may have to try it out :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, great to hear! You definitely should read Frostfire, Christy ^_^
DeleteTrolls?? *ears perk up* I'm quite interested about a fantasy that'd be about a fantasy creature that are not the fae or other more commonly used one, and trolls are quite rare! I'm gonna keep an eye on this one too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Alyssa!
Hah! Exactly what I said! I hope that if you read this one, you enjoy it, Pili! :)
DeleteI haven't read anything by Amanda Hocking either, but I'm definitely going to be reading this one when it comes out. With such an exciting synopsis and lovely cover, it's hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree, Nick!!
DeleteI haven't read anything from this author before, but I've definitely heard great things about her. Definitely need to give this one a try. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW
Me either! However, it doesn't hurt to start somewhere! Thank you, Aneta :)
DeleteI have not heard of this ... but that cover is stunning :D Amazing pick Alyssa. <3 I hope you love it. And hm. Not sure if it is for me. Must see your review first, hih :)
ReplyDeleteNOW YOU HAVE :D And hopefully that will be soon, I contacted SMG for a review copy, and they said they'd send me one... we shall see, Carina!
DeleteI've also never read anything by her -this may be a good place to start! Here's my WOW: http://writersbytheshore.blogspot.com/2014/08/waiting-on-wednesday.html
ReplyDeleteThat's my thinking, Kimmy!
DeleteNever heard of it but it sounds really cool. And also: Trolls! I haven't read her Trylle series but can you read this one without reading her other series? Definitely looking forward to it :)
ReplyDeleteTrolls! Yes! I'm excited about that in particular. I *think* this series can be read without reading the other series (at least, that's what I'll be doing).
DeleteI saw this somewhere the other day and I thought the cover was gorgeous. I've never read any of Amanda Hocking's books, despite owning the entire Trylle trilogy, but TROLLS! That's grounds for immediate reading! :D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is gorgeous! And OMG you have the entire series - definitely time to binge-read, girl! You're totally welcome ^_^
DeleteOoh this sounds like such an awesome read and very knew. I haven't read anything by this author either, but I think I might start with this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick and thanks for stopping by my blog!
That's the move, Aseel! You're welcome!
DeleteI haven't read anything by this author either, but this sounds interesting. Love that cover! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by My WoW.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sandra!
DeleteI haven't read anything by her either, but I've heard amazing things about her two other series. This one looks amazing. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteMe too! But I'm too lazy to go back and read the series LOL. Thank you, Liza!
DeleteI love the red on the cover! Sounds like an interesting read, though thought on the possible love triangle? I feel like the blurb makes it seem like a love triangle. Unless it pulls a The Kiss of Deception, which I totally be fine with, haha. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMe too! And the intricate border design! And I'm hoping there won't be a love triangle... DON'T RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD-SOUNDING BOOK, AMANDA D: I guess I'll find out. You're welcome, Cyn!
DeleteGREAT PICK!!! This was my WoW last week? Yes, last week! I haven't read the Trylle series either! But I read Amanda Hocking's Hollowland series, and WOW, it was truly AMAZING!!! I hope you enjoy it when you read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW @ Addicted Readers! :)
Ooo, I didn't remember! I'm glad you enjoyed her Hollowland series - zombies, right? Thank you, Alicia!!
DeleteI haven't read any of Hocking's previous stories either but this one sounds really good and that cover is really pretty. Thank you for sharing and stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteMe either! But I totally agree. You're very welcome!
DeleteI haven't read any of her books either! This does sound pretty darn good, though, and that cover is mega gorgeous. I think I shall start here with you! :D Great pick, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT! We should buddy-read ^_^
