Waiting on Wednesday #8

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.
My pick this week is:

Title: Illusion
Series: Chronicles of Nick, Book #5

Genre: paranormal romance
Audience: YA

Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Release date: April 1st, 2014
Publisher:  St. Martin's Griffin

Summary:

Be careful what you wish for…

You just might get it.

Nick Gautier is tired of his destiny. He doesn’t want to be the son of a demon who’s fated to end the world. Nor does he want to see another demon or other preternatural creature who wants to kill or enslave him. He just wants to be normal and have normal problems like everyone else.

But normality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When he gets sucked into an alternate reality where his mother has married his mentor and his Atlantean god best friend has become a human geek, he begins to understand that no life is free of pain, and that every person has a specific place in the universe… Even the son of a hated demon.

Most of all, he sees that his powers aren’t the curse he thought they were, and that the world needs a champion, especially one its enemies can’t imagine rising up to defend the ones he should destroy.

Old enemies and new friends square off for a major battle that will either restore Nick to his real world, or end him forever.

 Why I want to read it:

Okay, honestly? I haven't read this series. I have, I think, a couple of the first books, but with all the review titles I have, there is no time for the books I want to read for myself. But! This cover is really good, and I just couldn't help it :)

So how about you? What amazing book are you waiting on this week?  

Waiting on Wednesday #9

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.

One title this week, again.

Title:Infamous

Series: The Chronicles of Nick

Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Expected publication date: March 13th, 2012

Summary: 

The world has fallen in love with Nick Gautier and the Dark-Hunters. Now Nick’s saga continues in the next eagerly anticipated volume...

Go to school. Get good grades. Stay out of trouble. That’s the mandate for most kids. But Nick Gautier isn’t the average teenager. He’s a boy with a destiny not even he fully understands. And his first mandate is to stay alive while everyone, even his own father, tries to kill him.

He’s learned to annihilate zombies and raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance, so why is learning to drive such a difficulty? But that isn’t the primary skill he has to master. Survival is.

And in order to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison. He is on the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever known.

Or he’ll be the one who ends the world. With enemies new and old gathering forces, he will have to call on every part of himself to fight or he’ll lose everyone he cares about.

Even himself.

Why I'm waiting on it: Well, just look at the cover, read the summary and tell me you won't be waiting on it!! I haven't read the previous two installments of this saga, but I've read really nice things about the author and the series and I'm waiting to clear my schedule a bit so I could sit down and start with book 1

So how about you? What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
