Waiting on Wednesday (#121): Jubilee Manor by Bethany Hagen


"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:


Jubilee Manor by Bethany Hagen
Book Two of the Landry Park series
Publisher: Dial Books
Publication Date: August 11, 2015

Summary (from Goodreads):

The thrilling conclusion to Landry Park is full of love, betrayal, and murder--perfect for fans of Divergent, The Selection, and Pride and Prejudice 

In Landry Park, Madeline turned her back on her elite family, friends, and estate to help the Rootless. Now, in Jubilee Manor, she struggles to bring the Gentry and the Rootless together. But when Gentry heirs—Madeline’s old friends—are murdered, even she begins to think a Rootless is behind it, putting her at odds with the boy she loves and the very people she is trying to lead. If she can’t figure out who is killing her friends and bring them to justice, a violent war will erupt and even more will die—and Madeline’s name, her estate, and all the bonds she’s forged won’t make any difference.

This conclusion to Landry Park, which VOYA dubbed "Gone with the Wind meets The Hunger Games,” is a richly satisfying, addictive read.




Apparently this series is only a duology! Which makes me extra excited to read this book! Landry Park was quite good, though I'll have to do a reread before this one!

    A duology, I'm not sure I've read one of those. This sounds like a sweet little series. I'm loving the color of the dress on this cover. It's close to my favorite.
    Happy reading, Alyssa!
    Hope you're having an awesome week.

      Duologies are basically the best thing in the world right now, I'm so sick of trilogies!

      Thank you, Marilyn!

    I'm liking this duology thing. Sometimes it seems like authors are stretching to fill three books so they can have a trilogy. I've read quite a few duologies lately and it's nice to have things wrapped up in two books. I still have Landry Park in my tbr, hopefully I get to it soon.

    Great pick! And I'm excited it's a duology as there are way too many trilogies out there just now! I started Landry Park a while back so should really finish it before this comes out. Hope you love it as much as the first book!

    I miss single and double books. It seems like now a days everything is a trilogy or more. Nice pick.

      They redid the covers - I liked Landry Park's original cover, but the new designs are okay!
