Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.This week, my pick is Vixen by Jillian Larkin.
Goodreads Summary:
Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.
Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?
Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . .
Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .
From debut author Jillian Larkin, VIXEN is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic new series set in the Roaring Twenties . . . when anything goes.

Why I'm Excited:
I discovered this book this week, and it looked so great I had to share it with everyone! Vixen is set in the Roaring Twenties, similar to Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen, which is also a new release. I have yet to read Bright Young Things but I'm excited for that one too. I expect these books will be different in their own respect, so I can't wait to read another author's take on the 20's! I love historical fiction, and this one just sounds great.
I am waiting for this one too. I am a huge jazz fan and love the setting, which is one that is not used much in YA lit. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI just started Bright Young Things and really like it so far. I should be receiving an ARC of Vixen through B&N and I cannot wait to read it!! I am a big fan of historical fiction and both of these books are perfect examples!
ReplyDeleteI’m excited about this one too! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW! 20's is a cool time
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW
Yara @ Once Upon a Twilight!
Haven't heard of this one yet. It sounds pretty good!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW :D
I have this one on my to-read list as well. I think it sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by the 20s but I haven't read a lot of fiction set in them for some reason! This sounds really intriguing! Thanks for sharing!
