Waiting On Wednesday: The Thirteen Secrets by Michelle Harrison

This week I'm 'waiting on' the third instalment in Michelle Harrison's brilliantly eerie fairy trilogy, The Thirteen Secrets.

Summary from Amazon.co.uk: Red is now living at Elvesden Manor under her real name, Rowan, and trying to put her past behind her. But staying on the straight and narrow isn't as easy as she had hoped...Hounded by fairy messengers who are trying to convince her to participate once more in the changeling trade, Rowan is haunted by dreams of the Hedgewitch's cottage and the chained-up Eldritch, who threatens revenge against her. Her past is about to catch up with her - can Tanya and Fabian prevent it consuming her altogether?

I adored the first two books in this series, The Thirteen Treasures and The Thirteen Curses, so this one has been on my radar for quite some time. Michelle Harrison's take on fairies is dark and dangerous and filled with enchantment, and her world-building rocks my world. But after seeing the awesome book trailer for the third book, I'm pretty much desperate to read it NOW!



Check out the creepy soundtrack! This one is due to hit UK bookstores on the 3rd February 2011. Roll on the spring.

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

I'm beyond excited for this as I really loved the first two books. And the covers are gorgeous!

I'm mad at myself. I saw the first book in this series for a very cheap price at the bookstore, but I didn't get it. ooooh, going back to see if they still got it. Looks so good.

Loved the first one! I wish 13 Curses would hit US bookstores soon.
