Waiting On Wednesday [#62]

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

The Madness Underneath (Shades of London #2)
Author: Maureen Johnson
Expected Publication: February 26, 2013

After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance. But Rory's brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: she's become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades— the city's secret ghost-fighting police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it's too late.

In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated The Name of the Star, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

I loved The Name of The Star!!!! It was a fantastic read! I am so so so excited for it's sequel!!! Definitely can't wait to read more about Rory!!!

    I haven't had the chance to read the first book in the Shades of London series but I really like the sound of this one. I hope you enjoy book two when you get the chance to read it. Great pick!

    This sounds super interesting, though I still haven't read the first one. But I'm super partial to the name Rory ;)

    So I wonder if they're going to redo the cover of the first book then to match this one?

    P.S. - How are you enjoying Deity? :D

    I still need to read The Name of the Star. I've been wanting to wait until the release date of this one was a little closer so I didn't have so long to wait! Awesome pick!
