Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.
The Devouring Gray
(The Devouring Gray #1)
by Christine Lynn Herman
Expected publication: April 16th 2019 by Titan Books (first published April 2nd 2019)
Branches and stones, daggers and bones,
They locked the Beast away.
After the death of her sister, seventeen-year-old Violet Saunders finds herself dragged to Four Paths, New York. Violet may be a newcomer, but she soon learns her mother isn’t: They belong to one of the revered founding families of the town, where stone bells hang above every doorway and danger lurks in the depths of the woods.
Justin Hawthorne’s bloodline has protected Four Paths for generations from the Gray—a lifeless dimension that imprisons a brutal monster. After Justin fails to inherit his family’s powers, his mother is determined to keep this humiliation a secret. But Justin can’t let go of the future he was promised and the town he swore to protect.
Ever since Harper Carlisle lost her hand to an accident that left her stranded in the Gray for days, she has vowed revenge on the person who abandoned her: Justin Hawthorne. There are ripples of dissent in Four Paths, and Harper seizes an opportunity to take down the Hawthornes and change her destiny-to what extent, even she doesn’t yet know.
The Gray is growing stronger every day, and its victims are piling up. When Violet accidentally unleashes the monster, all three must band together with the other Founders to unearth the dark truths behind their families’ abilities—before the Gray devours them all.
It sounds kinda creepy and I am hoping that it will have a dark spooky atmosphere. I hope it’s not like a M Knight Shamalamdingdong Production that just turns out to be super weird and dumb. I have my fingers crossed this will be a good read with plenty of creepy.
Update: I recently got this book from Netgalley, I don’t remember requesting it but I apparently did, however, I am still using it this week since I haven’t read it yet and I just wanted to give it some attention! 🙂
What are you Currently Waiting for?

It sounds more than a bit creepy! Hopefully it lives up to your expectations and doesn’t turn into an M. Night Whatever his last name is!

Ooh yes to this one too! I’m quite intrigued with this one’s premise!

It sounds like it could be a great YA Horror, I am hoping it lives up to it.
This one is on my radar too! 🙂

I need this one NOW! Doesn’t it sound right up my alley? Hope we both enjoy it (running off to see if I can score an ARC somehow).

The cover is pretty, I’m happy that you were able to get an ARC from NetGalley! Looking forward to the review 🙂
