My Selection for Waiting on Wednesday: The Wonderous Strange Series

Book Number Two

It's time to share again. Waiting on Wednesday is the awesome meme started by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that allows us to learn what other book lovers can't wait to read. I'm tackling another series this week. This time it's the Wonderous Strange saga. It's all about the fairies.

I just finished the first book and I can't wait to tackle the second, Darklight. I've been fascinated with the cover of Wonderous Strange and the title for over a year. It was published December 2008. Every time I went to the bookstore, I'd look for it and read the description, then tell myself "I'll buy it the next time." Here's the blurb from the back of the book number one, Wonderous Strange:

Book Number One

Since the dawn of time, the Faerie have taken. . . .
Seventeen-year-old actress Kelley Winslow always thought faeries were just something from childhood stories. Then she meets Sonny Flannery. He's a changeling—a mortal taken as an infant and raised among Faerie—and within short order he's turned Kelley's heart inside out and her life upside down.
For Kelley's beloved Central Park isn't just a park—it's a gateway between her ordinary city and the Faerie's dangerous, bewitching Otherworld. Now Kelley's eyes are opening not just to the Faerie that surround her, but to the heritage that awaits her . . . a destiny both wondrous and strange.


Of all the paranormal creatures, I haven't had much interest in fairies. I figured "how much can a tiny, little creature do that would be interesting", but there was something about Wondrous Strange that intrigued me. I think it was the focus on Central Park and the whole Mid Summer's Night dream tie-in. It just sounded so magical--and then the cover...gorgeous! They got me, I was hooked...and I hadn't even read it...LOL...Last week, I saw it again and grabbed it. Finished it in short order and loved it. I guess fairies can do a little something after all. Wondrous Strange was full of drama, plenty of action and romance. I can't wait to see how it continues in Darklight,which just released in October 2010 and what's going to happen to Sonny, the hottie changling in the story.

Book Number Three

I'll tackle the third installment, Tempetuous, next year when it releases January 11, 2011. Has anyone else read the series? Think you may? Join the magic!

Toodles!
