Waiting on Wednesday – 9/29

Okay “Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week my Waiting on Wednesday book is Nightshade by Michelle Rowen.  I really enjoyed Rowen’s Demon Princess series so when I saw she was starting a series that is meant to be more urban fantasy than romance I was excited.  Nightshade is the first book in a two book series.  The second book is due out April 2011.
