THIS WICKED GAME BY MICHELLE ZINK
Release Date: November 14th 2013
Claire Kincaid’s family has been in business for over fifty years.
The voodoo business.
Part of the International Guild of High Priests and Priestesses, a secret society that have practiced voodoo for generations, the Kincaid’s run an underground supply house for authentic voodoo supplies. Claire plays along, filling orders for powders, oils and other bizarre ingredients in the family store, but she has a secret.
She doesn’t believe.
Struggling to reconcile her modern sensibilities with a completely unscientific craft based on suspicion, Claire can’t wait to escape New Orleans – and voodoo – when she goes to college, a desire that creates almost constant conflict in her secret affair with Xander Toussaint, son of the Guild’s powerful founding family.
But when a mysterious customer places an order for a deadly ingredient, Claire begins to realize that there’s more to voodoo – and the families that make up the Guild – than meets the eye.
Including her own. - Good Reads
As she bands together with the other firstborns of the Guild, she comes face to face with a deadly enemy – and the disbelief that may very well kill her.
I adore Michelle Zink and her writing and I'm really looking forward to this book! I'm actually not even that interested in voodoo and normally I'd probably skip over that subject, but because Michelle wrote it, it's a must-read!
I've heard a lot of amazing things about Michelle Zink's writing. I'll have to start reading some of her books:) This book sounds interesting, and I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteHope this one lives up to your expectations. Great pick!
I really love her Prophecy of the Sisters series! You should definitely check it out! :) Thanks for your reply!
DeleteI haven't had a lot of success with Michelle but I wish I did. And I love this cover. Great pick.
ReplyDeleteI really loved her Prophecy of the Sisters series, but wasn't as excited by A Temptation of Angels.
DeleteThanks for your reply! :)
Very cool! I haven't read any of Zink's books yet, but I've heard good things. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI really love her writing! :) Thanks for your reply!
DeleteI have a copy of Prophecy of the Sisters, but I haven't read it! I've been meaning to for ages, though. I'll definitely read this one, though, since I feel inclined to read any YA set in New Orleans. (I live just over an hour away and go there all the time!)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you're back and I love your new layout, Liza! :)
Thanks Rachel! :) I'm glad to be back - got to a little bit of a more calmer place in life, so I have more time! And thank you again for the design compliments!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it gorgeous?! The cover alone is enough motive for me to grab it off a shelf! :) Thanks for replying!
DeleteI really enjoyed Zink's work as well, and I think she'll be able to pull off a good voodoo story. I'm excited for this one, too! Fabulous pick, Liza!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jen! :) I'm excited to read this for sure!
DeleteYES!!!! I cannot wait for this one either! Love the cover and the premise sounds really different, I haven't read very many books with voodoo in them. I need this book in my hands immediately! *shakes fist at November*
ReplyDeleteIt does sound different - I think that's what makes it all the more interesting! And the cover is just beautiful and very intriguing! :) Thanks for replying, Jenny!
