Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine that spotlights eagerly awaited upcoming releases.

To escape from a dark fate and to remain in the arms of her beloved boyfriend James, Lia must end the prophecy before her sister does. Only then will she understand the mysterious circumstances of her parents' deaths, the true meaning of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and the lengths to which her sister will go to defeat her.

Prophecy of the Sisters is the first of three books.

Alice will stop at nothing to reclaim her sister's role in the prophecy, and that's not the only thing she wants: There's also Lia's boyfriend James.
Lia and Alice always knew the Prophecy would turn those closest to them against them. But they didn't know what betrayal could lead them to do. In the end, only one sister will be left standing.
I know that Prophecy of the Sisters is not a new release, but it is for me as I decided to wait for the paperback release of this one. In a way I'm glad I did, as I love the sound of Prophecy and this means I won't have a long tortuous wait for the sequel! If you've already read the first book, let me know what you thought of it, and be sure to share your WoW links in comments.
