“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I’m going to have a couple of books, all have been published already, but because I’m taking part in Black March I’ve got to wait until April to get them so I thought they’d count.

Shooting Stars
by Allison Rushby

Published: 28th February 2012

Meet Josephine Foster, or Zo Jo as she’s called in the biz. The best pint-sized photographer of them all, Jo doesn’t mind doing what it takes to get that perfect shot, until she’s sent on an undercover assignment to shoot Ned Hartnett—teen superstar and the only celebrity who’s ever been kind to her—at an exclusive rehabilitation retreat in Boston. The money will be enough to pay for Jo’s dream: real photography classes, and maybe even quitting her paparazzi gig for good. Everyone wants to know what Ned’s in for. But Jo certainly doesn’t know what she’s in for: falling in love with Ned was never supposed to be part of her assignment.

I’ve seen a couple of reviews for this, and I thought it sounded interesting. Once I read the blurb I knew I had to read this. I’m really looking forward to reading this and it will definitely be one of the books I buy in April.

Faery Tales and Nightmares
by Melissa Marr

Published: 1st March 2012

Dangerous promises and beguiling threats swirl together in a dozen stories of enchantments dark and light by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr. Uncanny and unexpected creatures appear from behind bushes, rise from beneath the seas, or manifest from seasonal storms to pursue the objects of their attention—with amorous or sinister intent—relentlessly.

Saw this on Melissa Marr’s website and as I liked her Wicked Lovely series and her book Graveminder I thought I’d give this one a go. I also enjoy reading short story collections by authors whose series I’ve liked reading.

Pretty Crooked (Pretty Crooked #1)
by Elisa Ludwig

Published: 13th March 2012

Willa’s secret plan seems all too simple: take from the rich kids at Valley Prep and give to the poor ones.

Yet Willa’s turn as Robin Hood at her ultra-exclusive high school is anything but. Bilking her “friends”-known to everyone as the Glitterati-without them suspecting a thing, is far from easy. Learning how to pick pockets and break into lockers is as difficult as she’d thought it’d be. Delivering care packages to the scholarship girls, who are ostracized just for being from the “wrong” side of town, is way more fun than she’d expected.

The complication Willa didn’t expect, though, is Aidan Murphy, Valley Prep’s most notorious (and gorgeous) ace-degenerate. His mere existence is distracting Willa from what matters most to her-evening the social playing field between the have and have-nots. There’s no time for crushes and flirting with boys, especially conceited and obnoxious trust-funders like Aidan.

But when the cops start investigating the string of burglaries at Valley Prep and the Glitterati begin to seek revenge, could he wind up being the person that Willa trusts most?

I will admit that this is a little down to cover love – it looks amazing! But, I also like the premise that Willa is a Robin Hood figure. Can’t wait to read.

What are you looking forward to getting your hands on this week?

This week the book I’m most eagerly anticipating is:

Spell Bound (Hex Hall 3)
by Rachel Hawkins

Release Date: 29th March 2012

Blurb taken from Goodreads:

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.

Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

I’m looking forward to reading this book because the previous book in the series ended with a cliff-hanger and I can’t wait to know what happens next.

Fair Game (Alpha and Omega 3)
by Patricia Briggs

Release Date: 6th March 2012 (Orbit)

Blurb taken from Goodreads:

They say opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son-and enforcer-of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha. While Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind.

Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can’t afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father’s dirty work is taking a toll on Charles.

Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston, when the FBI requests the pack’s help on a local serial killer case. They quickly realize that not only the last two victims were werewolves-all of them were. Someone is targeting their kind. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer’s sights . . .

I’m really looking forward to reading this, but I’m going to have to wait until April to buy it (because I’m taking part in Black March) hence me cheating a little and having a book that’s just been published as my WoW.
