Desperately Wanting Wednesday: Next In Series

There are some next in series coming out in 2012 that I’ve been desperately waiting on…

I was smitten by the first, I hope the second lives up to it!

Title: Dreamless (Starcrossed #2)
Author: Josephine Angelini
Expected publication: May 29th 2012 by HarperTeenAs the only Scion that can enter Hades at will, Helen descends to the Underworld in search of a way to overcome the Furies and end the cycle of revenge that has cursed the Scions. But she’s running out of time. Each descent weakens her both in mind and spirit. A mysterious stranger might be her only salvation, but the price may be her love for Lucas Delos.

As an unforgettable love triangle emerges, Josephine Angelini’s compelling saga becomes ever more intricate and spellbinding. The eagerly awaited sequel to the internationally bestselling Starcrossed, Dreamless delivers with a huge emotional impact that will leave readers satisfied—and longing for more.

I so want to read this & for some reason I just couldn’t get my grubby hands on this one. Then, I’m reading reviews coming out — and now I’m scared. But, I’ll still read it.

Title: Shadow Heir (Dark Swan #4)
Author: Richelle Mead
Expected publication: February 2nd 2012 by Bantam

Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land’s prophecy-haunted queen, there’s no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld…

The spell-driven source of the blight isn’t the only challenge to Eugenie’s instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can’t trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can’t–or won’t–reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon–and risk the ultimate sacrifice..

The first novel took me by surprise, I actually read the book and listened to the audio book. I was highly impressed — but the wait has been endless. September, really? It’s enough to drive a girl crazy.

Title: Stolen Nights (Vampire Queen #2)
Author: Rebecca Maizel
Expected publication: September 4th 2012 by St. Martin’s Griffin

Lenah Beaudonte should be dead. But having sacrificed herself to save another, she finds herself awakening with strange powers that are neither vampire nor human – and a new enemy on her trail. In her vampire life, Lenah had thought that being human was all she ever wanted; but the human heart suffers pain, heartbreak and loss. With her new powers growing and the dark force of the Nex after her soul, Lenah faces a choice: between the mortal love of gorgeous Justin, whose passion fed her human soul, and taking a different path to become the mistress of her own destiny, wherever that may lead.
