It feels like forever that I've done any memes, so I want to start back up again. Waiting on Wednesday spotlights an upcoming title that we can't wait to get our hands on! My pick for W.o.W. this week is...
Ashes on the Waves
Author: Mary Lindsay
Genre: YA Paranormal
Expected Release Date: July 27, 2013
Publisher: Philomel (Penguin)
Description:
Liam MacGregor is cursed.
Haunted by the wails of fantastical Bean Sidhes and labeled a demon by
the villagers of Dòchas, Liam has accepted that things will never get
better for him—until a wealthy heiress named Annabel Leighton arrives on
the island and Liam’s fate is changed forever.
With Anna, Liam finally finds the happiness he has always been denied; but, the violent, mythical Otherworlders, who inhabit the island and the sea around it, have other plans. They make a wager on the couple’s love, testing its strength through a series of cruel obstacles. But the tragedies draw Liam and Anna even closer. Frustrated, the creatures put the couple through one last trial—and this time it’s not only their love that’s in danger of being destroyed.
Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s chilling poem Annabel Lee, Mary Lindsey creates a frighteningly beautiful gothic novel that glorifies the power of true love.

Why Am I Waiting?
First of all, it's based on Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Annabel Lee." Secondly, it sounds dark, mysterious, Gothic, creepy - everything that I absolutely love when it comes to books. And it's full of romance, tragedy, and mythical beings. Again - it's based on Poe! What more could you ask for?? The cover was recently revealed, and I think it's absolutely gorgeous and makes me want to read it even more (if that's possible). This is one of my most anticipated releases of 2013. I am DYING to read it and I might begin stalking my contact and/or the author about ARCs.
