Waiting on Wednesday #34 Soul Awakened by J.D. Stroube and Blaze by Laurie Boyle Crompton
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine that showcases our most anticipated upcoming releases.
I am waiting on two this week.
Soul Awakened (Reincarnation #1) by J.D. Stroube
Expected publication: February 14th 2013 by Euphoric Publishing & Design
Imagine being born at the first breath of mankind. What would it be like to live as a witch among men? Would life be less cherished if you were destined to become an old soul; one who must succumb to death only to be reborn repeatedly? Bryony is a mortal with an immortal soul. She is destined to die at the hands of another immortal during the peak of her life, only to be reborn again. In each life she has a new name, face, and destiny. However, her soul remains constant. She has no memories of her past lives, but that is about to change… After a horrifying accident, she loses everything dear to her, moves halfway across the world, and begins having visions of a man with no face; a man who kills her, over and over again. Each life is ended before it truly begins. Memories of her past lives have been unlocked and along with them, she discovers an affinity for magic. Can she master her abilities quick enough to face her demon head on? Will the memories of her past lives reveal weapons to change her fate? Will she be aware of her faceless death, when he comes for her? Or could her executioner be closer than she thought?
Blaze (or Love in the Time of Supervillains) by Laurie Boyle Crompton Expected publication: February 1st 2013 by Sourcebooks Fire
Blaze is tired of spending her life on the sidelines, drawing comics and feeling invisible. She’s desperate for soccer star Mark to notice her. And when her BFF texts Mark a photo of Blaze in sexy lingerie, it definitely gets his attention. After a hot date in the back of her minivan, Blaze is flying high, but suddenly Mark’s feelings seem to have been blasted by a freeze-ray gun, and he dumps her. Blaze gets her revenge by posting a comic strip featuring uber-villain Mark the Shark. Mark then retaliates by posting her “sext” photo, and, overnight, Blaze goes from Super Virgin Girl to Super Slut. That life on the sidelines is looking pretty good right about now..
Soul Awakened, I think it going to be interesting. I can’t imagine being a soul that is born over and over again. Blaze isn’t something I would normally read, but I am really trying to venture out of my safe zone. So we’ll see. What are you looking forward to this week?
































Oh both books are new to me!! Soul Awakened has a beautiful cover and I like the blurb. Yeah Blaze doesn’t fit into what I normally read but maybe I’ll give it a chance! Great picks
Here is our WOW
Soul awakened does sound interesting. I enjoy reincarnation plots. Blaze sounds really cute and fun!
My WOW
OOh nice picks! Those are both new to me. Hope you love them once you read them!
Thanks for visiting my WoW!
Both of these sound great! I love the premise for Soul Awakened, sounds very original!
I really like the sound of Blaze-I was able to get an early copy and I can’t wait to read it!
Lucky girl..
I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
I’ve read one book by Stroube so I’ll have to see what everyone thinks of that one when it comes out. I’ve seen Blaze but it didn’t really catch my eye, it does sound really interesting though.
Thank you for visiting my WoW post!
BLAZE is SO good! I really love all of the characters in this book! I am really looking forward to seeing the finished copy and all of its illustrations!
Great pick! Hope you enjoy it too
Oh, they both look awesome! Thanks for sharing…and here’s MY WOW POST

Looks like two great books! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by!
Ooh! Both of your picks sound good! The cover on the first one is interesting, but I don’t think that it’s something I would normally read. But your second pick looks SUPER good! I love the premise, LOL. Thanks for stopping by my WoW! (:
Looking forward to Blaze, good pick.
Yum. They sound gooooooooood. Ah, the joys of reading. Nothing can compare.

Ooh these both sound great but I especially love the look of Blaze! It has a great cover too. Fab picks!
The first book is new to me; but I’m very familiar with the second one! That’s on my wishlist.
I haven’t heard of Soul Awakened before but it sounds interesting! And I’ve seen much excitement for Blaze. Nice picks!
Thank you for stopping by my WoW this week

Soul Awakened definitely seems like my type of read. The cover is pretty too. Thanks for sharing.

Soul Awakened looks gorgeous. I’ve heard great things about Blaze. Thanks for sharing!
Soul Awakened sounds really intriguing plus the cover is beautiful. Thanks for visiting!
Wow. Both sound pretty good. I love the covers. Will definitely have to look out for them. Thanks for bringing it to my attention
I think my thoughts on these two are the same as yours. Soul Awakened is new to me but I like the concept of reincarnation. I wouldn’t mind reading about it.
Blaze is one of my ‘pick up and read’ books I normally borrow from the library. I read them because I just want to read something light and funny or topical which you can only really find in the contemporary novels.
I really like the cover for Soul Awakened. I’ve seen Blaze on a few people’s Goodreads’ lists, but haven’t really looked at it, as it’s not something that I would usually read, either.
Thanks for stopping by my WoW post!
