Waiting on Wedensday


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme from Jill at Breaking the Spine.  It's a chance to spotlight upcoming releases that we wish were out nownownow!  This is my first time participating in WoW, but I'm hoping it will be far from my list.

My pick for this week is:

 

Release Date: May 1, 2012

Summary from Goodreads.com:

He's b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sade Kane can’t seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos. 

To find the answer they need, the Kanes must rely on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to lead them to the serpent’s shadow... or might lead them to their deaths in the depths of the underworld...

While many don't think the Kane Chronicles are as good YA reading as The Heroes of Olympus, I still really enjoy them and can't wait for the next chapter in the Kane sibling's journey.
