Waiting on Wednesday (#280): The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke


"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:


The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)
Publication Date: October 2, 2018

Summary (from Goodreads):

Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa are the Boneless Mercies—girls hired to kill quickly, quietly, and mercifully. But Frey is weary of the death trade and, having been raised on the heroic sagas of her people, dreams of a bigger life. 

When she hears of an unstoppable monster ravaging a nearby town, Frey decides this is the Mercies' one chance out. The fame and fortune of bringing down such a beast would ensure a new future for all the Mercies. In fact, her actions may change the story arc of women everywhere.

Full of fierce girls, bloodlust, tenuous alliances, and unapologetic quests for glory, this elegantly spun tale challenges the power of storytelling—and who gets to be the storyteller. Perfect for fans of Maggie Stiefvater, V.E. Schwab, and Heidi Heilig.



I love Tucholke's books! This new one sounds really cool.

    I saw this on NetGalley but for some reason the cover didn't really grab me. But now that I've read the blurb I'm totally interested! Thanks for sharing😁

    I read one book by this author that I wasn't the biggest fan off but this sounds badass. I need more books with fierce girls. And now I'm in love with the names Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa. Haha :D

    I've never read the author, but it seems I have added this to my Goodreads already, so something about the description definitely caught my eye too!
