“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine.  Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for.  If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to.  This week my book is: Rosemary and Thyme by Olivia Atwater, (Victorian Faerie Tales #2). This sounds so good and I really enjoyed the first book in the series, the Witchwood Knot. Here’s the description and cover:

Olivia Atwater offers up another gothic fantasy romance, full of dark magic and deceitful faeries, in the second instalment of the Victorian Faerie Tales.

An ancient evil has awoken in Victorian England, and it knows Clarimonde Betony’s name.

London is no longer safe for Clarimonde Betony. Branded as a black magician, cut off from her staid and sensible life, and hounded by a mysterious pursuer, Clarimonde has little choice but to make common cause with her foppish, self-appointed faerie adviser, Lord Foxglove—a beautiful coward with absolutely no affection for the truth.

Clarimonde’s last, best hope is a weapon that lies in Whitby, under the watch of a lovely, bloodthirsty lady known as the Leanansidhe. Foxglove’s keen talent for duplicity could gain them both hospitality beneath the monster’s roof… but the Leanansidhe’s temptations are endless, and her unearthly beauty hides a cruelty beyond mortal understanding. One wrong word might lead to a fate much worse than death… and Clarimonde always has been far too honest for her own good.
