Waiting on Wednesday Meme for May 15th

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine showcasing upcoming books that we are waiting, often impatiently, to be released.

A Witch's Handbook of Kisses and Curses by Molly Harper

Nola Leary would have been content to stay in Kilcairy, Ireland, healing villagers at her family’s clinic with a mix of magic and modern medicine. But a series of ill-timed omens and a deathbed promise to her grandmother have sent her on a quest to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to secure her family’s magical potency for the next generation. Her supernatural task? To unearth four artifacts hidden by her grandfather before a rival magical family beats her to it.

Complication One: Her grandfather was Mr. Wainwright and the artifacts are lost somewhere in what is now Jane Jameson's book shop.

Complication Two: her new neighbor, Jed Trudeau, who keeps turning up half naked at the strangest times, a distraction Nola doesn't need. And teaming up with a real-life Adonis is as dangerous as it sounds, especially when he’s got the face of an angel and the abs of a washboard—can Nola complete her mission before falling completely under his spell?

Release Date: may 28, 2013

Why This book?

I am waiting on this book because ever since I read my first book by Molly Harper, And One Last Thing..., I have admired her writing style.  Then after reading the Jane Jameson series I just fell in love with Half Moon Hallows and all it's inhabitants.  Thank goodness Ms. Harper is continuing to give us more Half Moon Hallows so I can keep up on what Dick Cheney is up to. *grin*
