"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:
Deliverance by C.J. Redwine
Book Three of the Defiance series
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Publication Date: August 26, 2014
Summary (from Goodreads):
Everything hangs in the balance, and nothing is certain: Rachel has been kidnapped by enemy forces and is being taken to Rowansmark while Logan, imprisoned and awaiting trial, is unable to leave Lankenshire. Separated from each other and their Baalboden comrades, each must find a way to achieve what they desperately want: to rid their world once and for all of the Commander and the tech that controls the deadly Cursed One.
Fighting through her pain and embracing the warrior she’s become, Rachel will do whatever it takes to escape her enemies’ clutches and join Logan in his fight. But when she learns a secret that changes everything, she realizes that escaping Ian and his tracker friends is no longer an option if she wants to save the people she loves. Instead, she’ll have to destroy Rowansmark from the inside out—if she can survive the journey through the Wasteland.
Logan needs allies if he wants to thwart Rowansmark’s power grab and rescue Rachel. But securing allies will mean betraying his beliefs and enlisting the help of the man he hates more than anyone: Commander Jason Chase. Driven by his fierce love for Rachel and his determination to make their world safe, Logan may be just the weapon the city-states need to defeat the Cursed One.
But as Rowansmark bears down and uneasy alliances are tested, will Rachel and Logan’s love for each other be enough to surmount the unbelievable odds against them?
Because why not?! The end to ANOTHER trilogy. Scariness! But I'm super pumped.
I actually DNFed Defiance. D: But I love the covers of this trilogy and I would love to have them all on my shelf. T_T Lovely pick, Alyssa!

You MUST read it, Naomi! It's definitely one of my favorite series.
DeleteNice! I looove these covers for this series, but sadly I couldn't really get into the first one. Hope you enjoy this one once you get it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Me too! Harper definitely pulled me in with the covers. I'm sorry to hear that! I feel like it's an intelligent kind of fantasy, so it's not for everyone. But I love it. OMG. Thank you!
DeleteOoooh yesssss!! I'm so so so dying to get my hands on this one!! I just cannot wait after the horrible cliffhanger in Deception!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Alyssa!
It wasn't *horrible* in my opinion - I almost expect similar cliffhangers in book two of a trilogy. Like The Crown of Embers. THE ENDINGS ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT IN BOOK TWO D:
DeleteThank you!
Ii haven't started this series yet, but I keep hearing amazing things about it. Nice to know all three books will be out when I start it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW.
Aww, you should! It's pretty awesome, in my opinion. Binge-reading the series is a great idea, Tammy!
DeleteI just bought book one at bargain price a few days ago for $4 at books-a-million :) I really want to start the series!

IT MUST BE DONE! Waiting until the series ends is not a bad idea. Thank you, Cyn!
DeleteI love these covers and I think this one is my favorite. I really need to get started on this series!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do read the books, Nereyda! This cover is also my favorite, of the three.

Anatea @ Anatea's Bookshelf
Me too! I finally read it late-ish last year. I hope you do too!
DeleteAnother series I still haven't read...oh well. Might as well wait for the whole thing to be published now, right? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea!
DeleteAwesome pick :D I have yet to read book two (A) but also dying for this one :) Hope you will love it. <3
ReplyDeleteYou should read book two ASAP! Thank you, Carina :D
DeleteNice pick! And it has such a pretty cover. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! You're quite welcome ^_^
DeleteSCROOOOOOOOOLLING past the synopsis because I haven't read Deception yet! I will NOT spoil myself; it's happened too many times recently. But I LOVE these covers! The girl looks so cool and like she could beat me up, which is kind of awesome. And since I see the word cliffhanger for book two about, I think I'll wait till this is available for my consumption to read book two. :D Muahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick Alyssa! :)
HAHAHA good for you, Rachel! But do get on that. The cover model did an incredible job with the shoot, and the photographer/graphic editor/cover designer/etc. are so talented! Book two does have a bit of cliffhanger :( But that's a great idea, Rachel!
DeleteThank you!
