Waiting on Wednesday #2

Waiting on Wednesday July 4th 2012


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating. In my case not so patiently waiting for the new releases, which I lack.


This week I just finished reading Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood so of course I'm dying to read her next book int he series however it doesn't have a cover and I'm a big cover fan. So I decided to keep with the plan and do the book I have came across a few weeks ago that I'm dying to read. I've never read any books by J.D. Stroube but I want to and plan to pick up her other series this week. I love the cover for Death's Leash and the synopsis has me wanting more. 

by J.D. Stroube
Book 1 in the Hellhounds Series
Publication January 16th 2013
Synopsis- 

The Myth is wrong....

Death is only a man, but one who has control over all living beings. He chooses who will live or die. He commands the fates and gives the order to cut the thread of life. However, Death isn't alone. 

In the beginning of time, he realized that it would be impossible for a single figure to wield power over life and death, while still having time to punish the wicked. Death summoned the tainted souls of the dead and from them created a race of females. They would be the takers of souls, the guardians of the afterlife, and the harbingers of death. 

They are Death's Hellhounds. Wild, impulsive, and terrifying, these sisters have a solitary goal: to hunt down unspeakable evils. When Death calls his Hellhounds to embark on the Wild Hunt, they must forsake their humanity to consume the most depraved souls in existence. Six remain in the veil between life and death, but step through the threshold when Death calls. 

Kali has spent her immortal life avoiding attachment. She hides her true self from all but her sisters. When Death gives her an assignment to hunt a rogue angel, she must confront the one man who places her heart in danger. Alone, she must face an enemy too powerful for a solitary Hellhound and find a way to break Death's leash. 

When wicked souls turn from the light,
And baying calls ring through the night.
Face your end or turn to flee, 
For Death's Hellhounds have come for thee!
