This week I am
waiting on Daughter of Chaos by Jen
McConnel (3/14):
Description on Goodreads:
Witches must choose the path they will follow, and Darlena
Agara is no exception. She’s been putting it off long enough, and in her case,
ignoring it has not made it go away. In a moment of frustration, Darlena
chooses to follow Red Magic, figuring she had outsmarted the powers that be,
since there’s no such thing as Red Magic. But alas, Darlena’s wrong (again) and
she becomes a newly declared Red Witch.
Her friends are shocked and her parents horrified by the choice Darlena has made. As a Red Witch, she now governs one third of the world’s chaos. She is the walking personification of pandemonium, turmoil, and bedlam, just as the patrons of Red Magic would have it to be.
But Darlena believes there must be more to Red Magic than chaos and destruction, and she sets out on a journey to achieve balance. Only doing so puts her at odds with the dark goddess Hecate, who simply will not allow Darlena to quit. She encourages Darlena to embrace who and what she is and to leave good magic to the good witches. If only Darlena could, life would be simple, and she would not be the Daughter of Chaos.

Why I’m Waiting:
I sort of came across this title randomly, on Goodreads. It’s
not the most enticing cover. But, I’m always on the look for another great
witch story. Seriously, I’m tired of the same witch story over and over. And
this one sounds utterly and completely unique. I love the idea of her being this
witch of chaos. And I love that the goddess, Hecate is thrown in. I’m so ready
for this book to come out!
What are you waiting on this week?
