Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event originally created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating. Jill has been MIA since August of 2016. Despite this, the meme lives on….Hope you come back Jill! Until then I will be joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can’t-Wait Wednesday.
Happy Wednesday y’all! Today I’m anxiously waiting on A Forgery of Roses by Jessica S. Olson. I haven’t read her before, but she comes highly recommended AND this book looks amazing. Gothic fantasy is a newer genre for me, but I’m finding that I love it. This one in particular is about a girl with a unique gift. Her tattoos are magical and can actually alter someone’s body. Blackmailed into bringing back the dead son of the governor, she finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery. I cannot wait to get my hands on this one!
A Forgery of Roses by Jessica S. OlsonPublished by Inkyard Press on 2022-03-29
Length: 368 pages
From the author of Sing Me Forgotten comes a lush new fantasy novel with an art-based magic system, romance, and murder…
Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to control: she’s a portrait artist whose paintings alter people’s bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night, the governor’s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor's dead son.
Once she arrives at the legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy’s death was no accident. A killer stalks these halls--one disturbingly obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor’s older son for help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life concealing makes her the killer’s next victim.
