Waiting on Wednesday (68)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where that spotlights the upcoming books I am currently anticipating.

~Currently Waiting On~

The Shadow Prince by Bree Despain 
Release Date: March 11th, 2014
Publisher: Egmont 
The Shadow Prince (Into the Dark, #1)

Goodreads Summary:

Haden Lord, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world to entice a girl into returning with him to the land of the dead. Posing as a student at Olympus Hills High—a haven for children of the rich and famous—Haden must single out the one girl rumored to be able to restore immortality to his race.

Daphne Raines has dreams much bigger than her tiny southern Utah town, so when her rock star dad suddenly reappears, offering her full tuition to Olympus Hills High’s prestigious music program, she sees an opportunity to catch the break she needs to make it as a singer. But upon moving into her estranged father’s mansion in California, and attending her glamorous new school, Daphne soon realizes she isn’t the only student in Olympus who doesn’t quite belong.

Haden and Daphne—destined for each other—know nothing of the true stakes their fated courtship entails. As war between the gods brews, the teenagers’ lives collide. But Daphne won’t be wooed easily and when it seems their prophesied link could happen, Haden realizes something he never intended—he’s fallen in love. Now to save themselves, Haden and Daphne must rewrite their destinies. But as their destinies change, so do the fates of both their worlds.


Ok so it has come to my attention that I have rotten luck when reading Hades/Persephone re-tellings and I usually end up DNF'ing those books BUT this one sounds different and bit more simpler and modern than the other ones's I've read! 

What are YOU waiting on?

  1. This sounds like a very cool new twist to Greek myths! I have an ARC of this one and I hope to be reading it soon!
