Waiting on Wednesday [87] - Born Wicked




from goodreads.com:

A Great and Terrible Beauty meets Cassandra Clare in this spellbinding fantasy.

Everybody knows Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. But the truth is even worse: they're witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship—or an early grave.

Before her mother died, Cate promised to protect her sisters. But with only six months left to choose between marriage and the Sisterhood, she might not be able to keep her word . . . especially after she finds her mother's diary, uncovering a secret that could spell her family's destruction. Desperate to find alternatives to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely unsuitable Finn Belastra.

If what her mother wrote is true, the Cahill girls aren't safe. Not from the Brotherhood, the Sisterhood—not even from each other.



Reason: I need some more witchcraft in my life and I love the dramatic pull of the synopsis. It sounds like it could have a lot of potential to be an engaging and exciting YA series =)

Cover Discussion: Eye-catching and pretty. I like the addition the flowers make on the model and the colors are vibrant. Great job!

Expected Release DateFebruary 7th
