So apparently my organisational skills suck this week. There was supposed to be a review from me on Monday, which I have now re-scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday), and I was supposed to take part in Top Ten Tuesday but that didn’t happen. I just wanted to take this opportunity to apologise for that, and to say that hopefully from here on I won’t suck at scheduling posts… Anyway, here’s my WoW – my first in 2013.

Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. The book’s blurb has been taken from Goodreads.com All publish dates are according to Amazon.co.uk

This week I am “Waiting On”…

Affliction (Anita Blake #22) by Laurell K. Hamilton

Published: 2nd July 2013

Micah is called back home by his estranged family, because his father, a county sheriff, has been attacked and is terribly injured. Anita and Nathaniel are going with him for moral support and to meet his family under very trying circumstances.

Micah has been estranged from his family for a decade, deliberately turning his back on them to protect them from the sadistic killer who once led his leopard pack. But now Micah’s father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.”

Anita—who understands zombies better than anyone—knows there’s more to it than that. While zombies have unlovable traits, being one doesn’t cause human beings to rot in agony. She needs to solve that mystery—but now a more immediate issue is pressing: Micah’s father may have only five days to live.

Ink (The Paper Gods #1) by Amanda Sun
