"Waiting On" Wednesday - Guardian of the Gate

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


This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Guardian of the Gate
by: Michelle Zink
Publication Date: August 1st 2010 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers



The ultimate battle between sisters is nearing, and its outcome could have catastrophic consequences. As sixteen year-old Lia Milthorpe searches for a way to end the prophecy, her twin sister Alice hones the skills she'll need to defeat Lia. Alice will stop at nothing to reclaim her sister's role in the prophecy, and that's not the only thing she wants: There's also Lia's boyfriend James.

Lia and Alice always knew the Prophecy would turn those closest to them against them. But they didn't know what betrayal could lead them to do. In the end, only one sister will be left standing.
 
I have been anxiously awaiting this one since I finished Prophecy of the Sisters, the first book in this series.  Michelle's writing is amazing and the story of these two sisters sucks you in and leaves you longing for more.  I can't wait to see what unfolds for them in Guardian.
