Waiting on Wednesday: A Blade so Black by L.L. McKinney


This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we're waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It's hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

A Blade So Black


     The first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she's trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills. Yet even warriors have a curfew.
     Life in real-world Atlanta isn't always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice's handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she’s ever gone before. And she'll need to use everything she's learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head . . . literally.

Why I'm Waiting: Normally I use my most anticipated book of the year as the first WoW of the year, but this year I didn't have a cover or synopsis to use. Now that they're here, I can honestly say this is without a doubt my most anticipated book of 2018. I cannot wait to have this book in my hands! It not only has a gorgeous cover, but it also sounds amazing! ANDDDDD it's a retelling of Alice in Wonderland! Y'all know retellings are my kroptyonite! I can read them all day! And let's be real, if you think I'm not excited about fantasy with a black girl, you're outta your mind!!!!!!!!!!!  (P.S. Y'ALL THIS COVER GIVES ME CHILLSSSSS!)

What are you waiting on this week?
Will you be waiting on this with me?
