Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating.
This week I’m anxiously waiting on The Midnight Star by Marie Lu, the finale to The Young Elites. This series has captivated from the very beginning. Adelina is by far one of my all-time favorite characters. Reading her story is like watching a train wreck…you know it’s going to be bad but you can’t bring yourself to look away. This finale promises to be epic!

The thrilling finale to the New York Times bestselling Young Elites series from “hit factory” Marie Lu.
There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen.
Adelina Amouteru is done suffering. She’s turned her back on those who have betrayed her and achieved the ultimate revenge: victory. Her reign as the White Wolf has been a triumphant one, but with each conquest her cruelty only grows. The darkness within her has begun to spiral out of control, threatening to destroy all that she’s achieved.
Adelina’s forced to revisit old wounds when a new danger appears, putting not only Adelina at risk, but every Elite and the very world they live in. In order to save herself and preserve her empire, Adelina and her Roses must join the Daggers on a perilous quest—though this uneasy alliance may prove to be the real danger.
Bestselling author Marie Lu concludes Adelina's story with this haunting and hypnotizing final installment to the Young Elites series.

What are you not-so-patiently waiting on this Wednesday?
Ahh. Another one I’ve seen a couple of times. I’ ashamed to say I haven’t read anything by Lu yet. I must remedy that ASAP!
Great pick. Here’s my #WoW
