Waiting on Wednesday (1): Prince of Shadows by Rachel Caine

*I use Grammarly's english grammar check online because bad grammar's like bad breath; everything about it stinks. Haha, kidding, but I used it for this post and with it spotted 2 mistakes. 1 was on purpose and the other, well, it fitted my mind-speak, so I'm leaving it. So hey, my grammar's not that bad after all!*

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My very first WW! I'm having my firsts with lots of memes lately, haha. Anyway, this week, or since many weeks ago, I have been waiting on:

Prince of Shadows by Rachel Caine
Expected publication: February 4th, 2014
Publisher: NAL

Blurb from Goodreads

A standalone built around the character of Benvolio, from Romeo and Juliet. The novel will be told from the point of view of Benvolio, who is Romeo’s cousin and, in Shakespeare’s play, attempts to get the lovelorn Montague interested in other girls after it’s discovered that Juliet is a member of the clan his family despises: the Capulets. Caine’s novel, her agent said, explores a scenario in which Romeo and Juliet are not the only couple to fall into dire romantic straits and is “a tale of intrigue, betrayal, hatred, and tragedy,” about “lovers lost, and lovers found.” (From Publisher's Weekly)

I have never read (or will ever read) about Romeo and Juliet's love story cause, duhh, it's ends in a tragedy and no one in their right minds like tragedies. Haha, no offense. But I've always been super fascinated by one of history's most famous love stories, and since this is bout their relatives, I'm all for it. :)

I haven't read any of Caine's other series, but I've heard good things about it, so yay.


Thanks for stopping by! What are y'all waiting on this week? :)
