Waiting on Wednesday 7/20

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and specifically spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. As always, there are some amazing upcoming books, but this week I'm particularly excited for...

Title: Seizure (Virals #2)
Author: Kathy Reichs
Publisher: Razorbill
Published: October 18, 2011
Genre: YA, Sci-Fi, Mystery
Pages: 464

Ever since Tory Brennan and her friends rescued Cooper, a kidnapped wolf pup with a rare strain of canine parvovirus, they've turned from regular kids into a crime-solving pack. But now the very place that brought them together - the Loggerhead Island Research Institute - is out of funding and will have to shut down. That is, unless the Virals can figure out a way to save it.

So when Tory learns of an old Charleston legend about a famous she-pirate, Anne Bonney, whose fortune was never found, she can't believe her luck - buried treasure is exactly what she needs to save the Institute on Loggerhead! Trouble is, she and her friends aren't the only ones looking for it. And this time, the Virals' special powers may not be enough to dig them out of trouble . . .
I don't care what anyone says. I really enjoyed Virals. I thought it was a fun, engaging and really adventurous read. Plus, I'm a diehard Bones fan, and Tory is pretty much a lil' baby Bones. So, if you like Temperance Brennan, Tory Brennan is a character you must meet. I'm interested to see where their newfound abilities take them next, and Seizure sounds like it has the ability to surpass book one, which is totally a plus for me. Series should always get better! What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?

  16. I haven't read any of Kathy Reich's books yet, but I AM A DIEHARD BONES FANGIRL, been there from the very beginning and didn't just catch up with it in the span of two months acting like I'm a better fan than the one's who were there from the pilot. Sorry about the rant-age for a minute, it's just I know people who do that and it drives me crazy every time they do. lol. Anyway, back to the book, I want to meet this character that you say is a lil' baby Brennan. I think I could totally fall in love with her, great WoW! :)

  23. Bah, I still haven't read Virals yet. Will admit the mixed reviews put me off a bit, but I did love the sound of it before I read them. I like Bones too, so may have to give it ago! Nice pick :).

  24. I agree -- I really enjoyed VIRALS and, while I didn't think Reichs had a great handle on Tory's teen voice at the beginning of the story, Tory really grew on me and now I want to know what happens! Plus, VIRALS was the first ARC I ever received, which was so exciting. Great pick! Looking forward to reading it.
