Waiting On Wednesday - July 27th

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from,Breaking The Spine

This week I’m waiting on,

Ward Against Death
by Melanie Card
Available August 2011
Synopsis via Goodreads

Twenty-year-old Ward de’Ath expected this to be a simple job—bring a nobleman’s daughter back from the dead for fifteen minutes, let her family say good-bye, and launch his fledgling career as a necromancer. Goddess knows he can’t be a surgeon—the Quayestri already branded him a criminal for trying—so bringing people back from the dead it is.

But when Ward wakes the beautiful Celia Carlyle, he gets more than he bargained for. Insistent that she’s been murdered, Celia begs Ward to keep her alive and help her find justice. By the time she drags him out her bedroom window and into the sewers, Ward can’t bring himself to break his damned physician’s Oath and desert her.

However, nothing is as it seems—including Celia. One second, she’s treating Ward like sewage, the next she’s kissing him. And for a nobleman’s daughter, she sure has a lot of enemies. If he could just convince his heart to give up on the infuriating beauty, he might get out of this alive…


Why I’m “waiting on” this book? I totally dig books with male main characters and necromancers. This sounds like a fun one :)

What are you waiting on?
