*Waiting on Wednesday* 01/22/2014


"Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at “Breaking the Spine”, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating....

This weeks choice is The Falconer by Elizabeth May

I've patiently waited for this to become available through US outlets since it has already released overseas. I would love to have publishers across the world release books at the SAME TIME. I am hoping one day publishers would realize that they would absolutely see sales go up if they did it that way.

The Falconer (The Falconer, #1)
Heiress. Debutant. Murderer. A new generation of heroines has arrived.

Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844

Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined for a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery killed her mother.

Now it’s the 1844 winter season and Aileana slaughters faeries in secret, in between the endless round of parties, tea and balls. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, she sheds her aristocratic facade every night to go hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways.

But the balance between high society and her private war is a delicate one, and as the fae infiltrate the ballroom and Aileana’s father returns home, she has decisions to make. How much is she willing to lose – and just how far will Aileana go for revenge?(less)

  3. I am not really into fae/ fairy books but this sounds like it has a lot of kick-butt action with a female MC. Yeah!!
