Waiting On Wednesday (5)

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

My WOW this week is from one of my favorite author, Maggie Stiefvater (The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series). I enjoyed The Wolves of Mercy Falls and now I'm excited to grab her new book that will be released on October 18th. Take a peek:

SCORPIO RACES

By Maggie Stiefvater
October 18, 2011

Summary on Goodreads:

It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.

At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.

Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races.
