"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.This week, I am anxiously waiting on:
The GatheringDarkness Rising #1
Author: Kelley Armstrong
Release Date: April 12th 2011
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pages: 368
Age Range: Young Adult
ISBN-13: 9780061797026
ISBN: 0061797022
Goodreads:
Strange things are happening in Maya's tiny Vancouver Island town. First, her friend Serena, the captain of the swim team, drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. Then, one year later, mountain lions are spotted rather frequently around Maya's home—and her reactions to them are somewhat . . . unexpected. Her best friend, Daniel, has also been experiencing unexplainable premonitions about certain people and situations.
It doesn't help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret, and he's interested in one special part of Maya's anatomy—her paw-print birthmark.
Why am I 'Waiting On' this book?? Well, if you have read the Darkest Powers series (The Summoning, The Awakening, and The Reckoning), then you totally know why I'm so excited for this book to be released. That series was AWESOME, definitley in my top 3 favorite series. I love the characters, the story, and whole paranormal world that Mrs. Armstrong created. Seriously, if you haven't checked this series out, DO IT! NOW! And then let me know what you think of it. :)
The Darkest Rising series is a spin-off of the Darkest Powers series. I am so, so, so excited about this book coming out. I'm counting down the days until April 12th!
What's on your wishlist?? Leave a comment with your link so I can see what you're waiting on!

Jess @ Gone with the Words
Do you have to read the other series to understand this book? I have it on my to be read list and I've been trying to figure that out!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! After finishing The Darkest Powers series I'm so looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I want to read this one as well but I didn't realize it was a spin off. Do you think it would be better if I read the other series first?

Truly Bookish
So excited about this one!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the series books you mentioned but this does sound really good.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting this one too! But I haven't read the Darkest Powers books yet so I'd like to do that first.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. :)
Oh yes. I've heard of this one. Nice pick.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the Darkest Powers series but it looks good as does this book! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog =]
ReplyDeleteI have been looking forward to this book for a while too, nice pick :)
ReplyDeleteI love Kelley Armstrong's books! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI have this on my TBR list, I'm so excited for this one too! Great pick! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by everyone!
ReplyDeleteFor those wondering if you can read The Gathering as a stand alone book, I looked on Mrs. Armstrongs website, and found this on her FAQ page...
http://www.darkestpowers.com/questions/
Is this another Chloe (Darkest Powers) trilogy?
No. This one introduces new characters in a different Edison Group experiment.
***Will any of the Darkest Powers characters appear in this trilogy?
Kelley intends to join the two groups of characters, but that won’t happen until at least the last book in this trilogy.
When does the first book come out?
Spring 2011. You’ll find the exact release date on the book’s page here: The Gathering.
- Since it's a new set of characters, I think you can read it without reading the previous series. However, I would suggest reading the previous books so you can get more background information. :)
I've got this on my TBR list but didn't know it was a spinoff. I have been wanting to read The Darkest Powers series so hopefully I'll get to those soon. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about her previous series that I'm anxious to find out for myself how good it is. And as for The Gathering, I'm panting for its release, big time! Wonderful pick, totally agree!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging and enjoy your current reads!

I read the first book in the Darkest Powers series and really need to finish it up.
ReplyDeleteOooh this one is right around the corner. Can't wait for it.
ReplyDeleteOur WOW pick is at BookSake.
I will shamefully admit I haven't yet read the Darkest Powers series! I actually have a copy of The Awakening... but since it's the second book, it's just been sitting in my bookshelf. I need to grab the first and start! Especially because The Gathering looks awesome!! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that series! Thank you for the recommendation. I am now adding this to me "Must Read" list. Love getting great books that way.
ReplyDeleteI have this on my wishlist too! I really liked the Darkest Powers series and am hoping The Gathering is just as good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
I've never read any of her books, but people have been saying a lot of good things about them. Maybe I should check them out.
ReplyDeleteI've only read The Awakening and I liked it well enough, but not so much to continue the series. I think I should give it another try, though, and perhaps this one as well. The cover is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and following; I've returned the follow! :)
I love the Darkest Powers series too and can't wait for this one to come out!
ReplyDeleteI also want to read this book. Many good review about this book make me curious about the chapters inside.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can get the book this year.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am your newest follower! Have a great week!
ReplyDelete@Stephanie- The first book is a little slower than the rest, I guess because there's so much to explain. :)
ReplyDeletewow, a lot of comments :) Thanks for visiting my blog, I'm following you back now :) I'm waiting on this too. I loved the other series, so good. I'm not sold on the cover though. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the series, but I'll definitely check it out.
