The book I can't wait to be published is.......
When My Heart Was Wicked
by Tricia Stirling
Publication Date: February 15th 2015
"I used to be one of those girls. The kind who loved to deliver bad news. When I colored my hair, I imagined it seeping into my scalp, black dye pooling into my veins.
But that was the old Lacy. Now, when I cast spells, they are always for good."
16-year-old Lacy believes that magic and science can work side by side. She's a botanist who knows how to harness the healing power of plants. So when her father dies, Lacy tries to stay with her step-mother in Chico, where her magic is good and healing. She fears the darkness that her real mother, Cheyenne, brings out, stripping away everything that is light and kind.
Yet Cheyenne never stays away for long. Beautiful, bewitching, unstable Cheyenne who will stop at nothing, not even black magic, to keep control of her daughter's heart. She forces Lacy to accompany her to Sacramento, and before long, the "old" Lacy starts to resurface.
But when Lacy survives a traumatic encounter, she finds herself faced with a choice. Will she use her powers to exact revenge and spiral into the darkness forever? Or will she find the strength to embrace the light?

Aww, I really can't wait for this book. The synopsis sounds so different from anything I've ever read, simple perfection. I hope it will live up to both of our expectations.
ReplyDeleteIt has already ticked the boxes but there are some books which always sound perfect but end up being disappointing!
DeleteI'm not sure if I want to read this book or not, but I absolutely love that cover. I might even end up buying it just because of the cover. :) I hope you'll like it though. Thanks for sharing, and for stopping by my WoW earlier. :)
