Waiting on Wednesday 02/11/15
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that lets us feature upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick:
Dark Ascension by M.L. Brennan: August 4, 2015 (Roc)
In August, Fortitude Scott returns in book 4 of Generation V. OMG, can it be August already?
“As the “wickedly clever” (Publishers Weekly) series continues, reluctant, slacker vampire Fortitude Scott learns that nothing is more important than family—or more deadly….
After a lifetime of avoiding his family, Fort has discovered that working for them isn’t half bad—even if his mother, Madeline, is a terrifying, murderous vampire. His newfound career has given him a purpose and a paycheck and has even helped him get his partner, foxy kitsune Suzume, to agree to be his girlfriend. All in all, things are looking up.
Only, just as Fort is getting comfortable managing a supernatural empire that stretches from New Jersey to Ontario, Madeline’s health starts failing, throwing Fort into the middle of an uncomfortable and dangerous battle for succession. His older sister, Prudence, is determined to take over the territory. But Fort isn’t the only one wary of her sociopathic tendencies, and allies, old and new, are turning to him to keep Prudence from gaining power.
Now, as Fort fights against his impending transition into vampire adulthood, he must also battle to keep Prudence from destroying their mother’s kingdom—before she takes him down with it….”

It has a cover!!! Strange, that isn’t at all how I pictured him. I had a feeling this one was going to be about his mom weakening and Prudence being Prudence. I wonder why Chivalry wasn’t mentioned?

Fort is getting buffer on the covers with each book, haha. I wonder about Chivalry too. He did get a smaller role in the last book, seems like it’s Prudence getting more attention for the time being (which is still very awesome!)
