Waiting on Wednesday: Strength and The Sweet Revenge of Celia Door

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you can post about upcoming books you're looking forward to. This is a wonderful chance for blogger to show off what's coming out soon that they are excited about! Every week my wishlist balloons thanks to this awesome meme.

Strength by Carrie Butler

When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period. 

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few minor setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety… 

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family. 

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

Strength comes out March 7th 2013 by Sapphire Star Publishing.

I love that this story is set in college and it sounds like it's going to be a really fun paranormal. Can't wait!

The Sweet Revenge of Celia Door by Karen Finneyfrock

That’s the day the trouble started. The trouble that nearly ruined my life. 

The trouble that turned me Dark. 

The trouble that begs me for revenge. 

Celia Door enters her freshman year of high school with giant boots, dark eyeliner, and a thirst for revenge against Sandy Firestone, the girl who did something unspeakable to Celia last year. 

But then Celia meets Drake, the cool new kid from New York City who entrusts her with his deepest, darkest secret. When Celia’s quest for justice threatens her relationship with Drake, she’s forced to decide which is sweeter: revenge or friendship. 

This debut novel from Karen Finneyfrock establishes her as a bright, bold, razor-sharp new voice for teens.

The Sweet Revenge of Celia Door is out February 21st 2013 by Viking Children's.

First, can I just say that I'm always going to love a book with a "razor sharp voice". I can just feel the sarcasm rolling off this one and I think Celia is going to be a lot of fun to read!
