#SciFiMonth Waiting on Wednesday 11/20/19

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick
Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik (May 19th, 2020 by Harper Voyager)
As you know, I recently reviewed Aurora Blazing, and I had also just finished the second book of Mihalik’s Rogue Queen novella series the other day. And so, the cover reveal of this novel earlier in the week week couldn’t have come at a better time! Really looking forward to this one, and once again we have a very beautiful cover and intriguing blurb.
“Interplanetary intrigue and romance combine in this electrifying finale to the Consortium Rebellion series.
As the youngest member of her High House, Catarina von Hasenberg is used to being underestimated, but her youth and flighty, bubbly personality mask a clever mind and stubborn determination. Her enemies, blind to her true strength, do not suspect that Cat is a spy—which makes her the perfect candidate to go undercover at a rival House’s summer retreat to gather intelligence on their recent treachery.
Cat’s overprotective older sister reluctantly agrees, but on one condition: Cat cannot go alone. Alexander Sterling, a quiet, gorgeous bodyguard, will accompany her, posing as her lover. After Cat tries, and fails, to ditch Alex, she grudgingly agrees, confident in her ability to manage him. After all, she’s never found a person she can’t manipulate.
But Alex proves more difficult—and more desirable—than Cat anticipated. When she’s attacked and nearly killed, she and Alex are forced to work together to figure out how deep the treason goes. With rumors of widespread assaults on Serenity raging, communications down, and the rest of her family trapped off-planet, Catarina must persuade Alex to return to Earth to expose the truth and finish this deadly battle once and for all.
But Cat can’t explain why she’s the perfect person to infiltrate hostile territory without revealing secrets she’d rather keep buried. . . .”
Chaos Reigning sounds like an interesting pick – that last line about being the perfect person to infiltrate hostile territory, but having secrets she’d rather keep buried, is the perfect cover blurb. That makes me want to read it.

Nice! And yes, I was intrigued by the description too, and Cat does seem like the most interesting sister – she seems to be the spy that I wished Bianca was!

So I finally gave up and put the first two on my Christmas list. I have to admit that this is probably my favorite cover of all of them for some reason. Bet this will be a popular choice in months to come!
