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

 

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

Simon & Schuster

Hardcover, 432 pages.

Release date: October 14th 2010.

Target Age Group: 14+

Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?

I'm definitely eagerly awaiting this one. I know lots of my fellow bloggers have already read this one from all those IMM posts a few weeks back where it seemed like the whole world (except little old me) had been sent this for review! I'm not bitter, I swear! :-D So, those of you who've read it, is it as good as I think it's going to be? Do share your thoughts & WoW links in comments.
