"Love is just the beginning... of the end."

Mason Starling is a champion fencer for Gosforth Academy, but she’s never had to fight for her life. Until now. When a ferocious storm rips through Manhattan and unleashes terrifying creatures onto Gosforth’s campus, Mason barely escapes alive. Without help from the mysterious stranger who appeared in the midst of the storm, she might not have made it at all. But now, in the aftermath, Mason’s life begins to spin dramatically, mystically out of control, and the only one who seems able to help her is the stranger who can remember nothing but his name: Fennrys Wolf.

As Mason and Fenn uncover more about Fenn’s past and the strange events that surround them, they realize that Mason’s family — and its dark allegiance to the ancient Norse gods — is at the center of everything. A predetermined fate seems to be closing in on Mason, but is it possible to change one’s destiny?

Readers who fell in love with Lesley Livingston’s Wondrous Strange trilogy and those who love Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series will be captivated by the sweeping romance and pulse-pounding action of Starling. (Goodreads)

I have never read anything by Lesley Livingston, but I've always wanted to. This book sounds amazing, and the cover is GORGEOUS! I can't wait to check it out!

What are you Waiting for this week???

    I agree that it's gorgeous!! Love the sound of it, too. *sigh* This reminds me that I need to finish Lesley's faery series so I can move on to her next book.

    Here's my Waiting on Wednesday post.

    Hmm..I don't know about that cover but I loved the Wondrous Strange trilogy (highly recommend even for those who hate fey stories as I usually do too) so I want to read more from Livingston.

    I read the first book in the Wondrous Strange series so this one was already on my TBR. But I hadn't seen the cover! I really like it. Great pick, Christy!
