Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #360: Sinners and Saints by Jennifer Roberson

 

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.

A biker and a cowboy must fight the coming apocalypse in the second book of the Blood and Bone contemporary western fantasy series.

It's the End of Days, and Gabe and Remi--an ex-con biker and a Texas cowboy--have been conscripted to join the heavenly host in a battle against Lucifer's spec ops troops: demons who inhabit characters from fiction, history, myths, legends, and folklore.

But Gabe and Remi, still learning their roles, now must deal with one particular demon wearing the body of an infamous murderer: Jack the Ripper. Young women bearing the names of the murder victims killed during the Ripper's time are turning up dead, setting Gabe and Remi on a perilous path to save whoever they can, while also battling members of Lucifer's vanguard bent on killing them.

Sinners and Saints by Jennifer Roberson is expected to be published March 9th, 2021 by DAW.

Why am I waiting on this book? I liked the first book in the series. I enjoyed the blend of folklore, mythology, and religion. This one sounds like it will be a little different from the first book with the focus being on catching this Jack the Ripper. Still it sounds interesting. An excerpt is available on the publisher's website. 

What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #293: Life and Limb by Jennifer Roberson

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From Goodreads:

A biker and a cowboy must stop the apocalypse in the first book of the Blood and Bones western urban fantasy series.

‘The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.’ —Baudelaire

He is, after all, the master of lies.
But is it lies when a man comes calling and says the End of Days is nearing?  That you must do everything within your power to stop it? Even when you have no powers. You are, after all, just a human.

Or do you have no powers? Are you just a human? And what the hell are you supposed to do about preventing hell-on-earth when you’re fresh out of prison, a biker ex-con who can’t even vote?

But the man who bears the message, the mission, is not a stranger shouting on a street corner while hoisting a sign promising death and damnation. He is someone you’ve known since boyhood, someone you trust implicitly. Someone who has never, ever lied to you. He's Grandaddy.

But who is he really? And who are you? Are you truly a weapon meant to be wielded against the devil’s return? Against the End Times. The End of Days. Apocalypse and Armageddon.

Demons, Grandaddy says, are now loosed upon the earth in the first spasms of a most unholy war. Demons inhabit and make real the beasts and characters of fiction, folklore, fairytales. Gods and goddesses walk the earth. The minotaur. Murderers. A horseman without his head. Myth becomes reality. Legends—and lies—are truths.

And maybe the man you’ve always trusted isn’t entirely human.

Life and Limb by Jennifer Roberson is expected to be published November 5th, 2019 by DAW.

Why am I waiting on this one? This sounds like an interesting urban fantasy title. I've enjoyed other books I've read by the same author. This one sounds different from anything else I've read by her. I like the combination in the synopsis of mythical creatures, a biker, and a cowboy. I'm looking forward to checking this one out.
