Waiting on Wednesday

So by now you've probably realised that things are a little quiet on the blog at the moment and that's just because of how busy life is at the moment and the fact that I'm starting a new job imminently. I'm still trying to participate in my favourite meme though which is Waiting on Wednesday. In case you need reminding, "Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, originally started by Jill at Breaking the Spine , that highlights upcoming book releases everyone is waiting on...hence the title. This week's pick is The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff. Here is the description from Goodreads:

"Everything burns in Pandemonium


Everything is made of steel, even the flowers. How can you love anything in a place like this?

Daphne is the half-demon, half-fallen angel daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. Life for her is an endless expanse of time, until her brother Obie is kidnapped—and Daphne realizes she may be partially responsible. Determined to find him, Daphne travels from her home in Pandemonium to the vast streets of Earth, where everything is colder and more terrifying. With the help of the human boy she believes was the last person to see her brother alive, Daphne glimpses into his dreams, discovering clues to Obie’s whereabouts. As she delves deeper into her demonic powers, she must navigate the jealousies and alliances of the violent archangels who stand in her way. But she also discovers, unexpectedly, what it means to love and be human in a world where human is the hardest thing to be.

This second novel by rising star Brenna Yovanoff is a story of identity, discovery, and a troubled love between two people struggling to find their place both in our world and theirs
."

So basically it's about Angels and Demons so of course I'm going to love this. I have to admit that I haven't read Brenna's debut book The Replacement yet (although I own two copies!) mainly because I'm too scared to read it LOL. I loved the cover of The Replacement and I love the cover of The Space Between, it's incredibly gothic and gorgeous. I hope they keep it for the final version. I'm definitely excited to see how the story reads and what Brenna has done to make it fresh and original from the rest of the books in the same genre. The Space Between is published on 15th November, 2011.
