Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.
From the publisher: I wasn't smashing the patriarchy; I was killing it. Literally.
Hazel and Fox are an ordinary married couple with a baby. Except for one small thing: they're murderers. Well, they used to be. They had it all. An enviable London lifestyle, five-star travels, and plenty of bad men to rid from the world. Then Hazel got pregnant.
Now, they’re just another mom-and-dad-and-baby. They gave up vigilante justice for life in the suburbs: arranged play dates instead of body disposals, diapers over daggers, mommy conversations instead of the sweet seduction right before a kill. Hazel finds her new life terribly dull. And the more she forces herself to play her monotonous, predictable role, the more she begins to feel that murderous itch again.
Meanwhile, Fox has really taken to being a father. Always the planner, he loves being five steps ahead of everyone and knowing exactly what’s coming around the bend. Plus, if anyone can understand Hazel needing one more kill, it’s Fox. But then Hazel kills someone without telling Fox. And when police show up at their door, Hazel realizes it will take everything she has to keep her family together.
A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia Mackay is expected out Januaary 14th, 2025 from Bantam.
Why am I waiting on this book? I find it interesting that while they are serial killers they are killing those they consider bad men. And I wonder what will happen to them when Hazel just can't keep herself from scratching that itch. I can't say I've read a book quite like this one before.
What book are you waiting on? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to out TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!
I am pretty sure I have a digital arc of this. Now I need to check. Love the colors on the cover and seems like there are quite a few serial killer titles coming out in the next few months.
ReplyDeleteYes, I counted at least 4 titles with serial killers. I was surprised by how many there were. And I'm also waiting on Another Fine Mess by Lindy Ryan. There's definitely some good stuff coming.
