"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:
Awaken by Meg Cabot
Book Three of the Abandon series
Publisher: Point (Scholastic, Inc.)
Publication Date: July 2, 2013
Summary (from Goodreads):
Death has her in his clutches. She doesn’t want him to let go.
Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera knew by accepting the love of John Hayden, she’d be forced to live forever in the one place she’s always dreaded most: the Underworld. The sacrifice seemed worth it, though, because it meant she could be with the boy she loves.
But now her happiness — and safety — are threatened, all because the Furies have discovered that John has broken one of their strictest rules: He revived a human soul.
If the balance between life and death isn’t fixed, both the Underworld and Pierce’s home back on earth will be wiped away. But there’s only one way to restore order. Someone has to die.
While I did not particularly like Underworld (Book Two), even though I really liked Abandon (Book One), I am very excited to read this final installment of the Cabot's Hades and Persephone retelling. I am hoping for a lot more character development on Pierce's part, and really, for Pierce to end up in the Underworld with John.
But, we'll see.
I definitely cannot wait to read this one! Feels like forever since I read the last one as an ARC!

DeleteThese covers are great. I haven't started this series yet, but I've heard really great things about it. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the covers! And I think you might like this series, Lisa :D
DeleteI know what you mean! I really liked Abandoned but felt so-so about Underworld. Hopefully Meg Cabot will redeem herself with a good finale.

That's awesome! I hope you like the series if you read them! ^_^
DeleteI haven't read anything by Cabot, but want to. Hope you get to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteBrandi at Blkosiner’s Book Blog
Thanks! I hope so, too!
DeleteI've had Abandon sitting on my shelf ever since it released and still haven't read it. I really should dust it off and give it a try =) Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
ReplyDelete*blows dust off*
DeleteI hope you get some time to enjoy the series! :)
Ooh! I've read Abandon, but I didn't read Underworld. I suppose I wasn't all that impressed, but maybe I should give the rest of this series a shot! Fab pick, Alyssa! (:
ReplyDeleteUnderworld wasn't at ALL good, but I'm hoping Cabot redeems herself with a fantastic conclusion! Thank you, Megan! :D
DeleteLOL, I love Meg Cabot, so I hope that you like Awaken. (: (What else have you read by her? She's awesome!)
DeleteI read Insatiable, and I hated it. Otherwise, nothing! Abandon was the first I'd read by her. I have seen her Princess Diaries movies though - so cute! :D
DeleteEh. That really wasn't her best work, LOL. The Princess Diaries is really cute, but I like her "Queen of Babble" best. It's a little bit adult, though. (Don't know why I'm warning you, you've read Insatiable. LOL) Most of her contemporary series/books rocked. And her Mediator series was interesting. LOL, sorry for the ramble. O.O
DeleteLOL! I'll have to check them out. No problem, Megan! You are fantastic :D
DeleteSO excited for this one! :) thanks for stopping by our blog :)
ReplyDeleteJanhvi @ The Readdicts
YAY! My pleasure. Janhvi :)
DeleteI love Meg Cabot, but I had a hard time with the first book in this series. I still have it and plan to read the whole trilogy someday, but it may not be for awhile. Hope you enjoy it though! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer! I hope YOU enjoy them one day ^_^
DeleteI haven’t read any of these books but I love the covers. This one especially.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WOW!
The covers are pretty! And my pleasure, Nereyda!
DeleteI have not read this series but am a big Meg Cabot fan! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteJen @ YA Romantics
You should check these books out! Thanks, Jen!
DeleteI've read only the first book in the series and I liked it so I'm definitely going to read the second and than this one when it comes out. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WOW post.
I hope you like them!
DeleteIt's sad to say, but I have never read a Meg Cabot book! Hope you love it when you read it! Thanks for stopping by.
