My Selection for Waiting on Wednesday: Evercrossed-A Kissed by an Angel Novel by Elizabeth Chandler

It's time to find out what's good in the book world. Waiting on Wednesday is one of my favorite memes. It was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine and it gives all the participants and observers a chance to learn what great books are out there already and what's coming down the pike.
I've just learned of a book coming out called Evercrossed. It sounds so intriguing and a bit creepy. It did catch my attention. Check out the blurb...

It's been a year since Ivy's boyfriend, Tristan, died. They've both moved on - Tristan to the other side of the afterlife, and Ivy to sweet, dependable Will. Now Ivy's heading to Cape Cod, hoping to leave the horror of last summer behind. She wants nothing more than to lie on the beach, sip lemonade, and hang out with her friends.

But then a car crash ends Ivy's life.

As she floats to the beyond, looking down on the life she's left behind, Tristan breathes life back into her with a passionate kiss. She wakes up in the hospital, surrounded by Will and her family, but all she can think about is the love that she lost.

But memories aren't all that's come back from the past. And this time, Ivy's not sure love will be enough to save her.
Books 1-3 are here!
Apparently, this started out as a trilogy that has been around for awhile; looks like since the late ninties! Did anyone else know this? The first book called Kissed by an Angel, also incorporates the second and third books in one volume.                                                                           

I'm very interested in learning what snuck in with her from the other side...hum...The fourth book is coming out in the next couple of weeks. I think I'll start with that, then if I'm up for it, I may read the earlier books.What do you guys think?

    I have Kissed By An Angel.

    I try to read things in order. With a few authors I can read things out of order because their series books are written like stand-alones, but with others I get lost unless I read sequentially.

    I've not read any of these books, though I'd recommend starting at the beginning of a series if it seems all of the books center around the same set of characters. :) This does look like a good series, and I haven't read any angel books. TBR list, here it goes! Thanks for visiting my blog earlier, and Happy reading!

    I have seen the cover of the first book before but I didn't know it had been around for so long. Can I just say that I would love nothing more than to "lie on the beach, sip lemonade, and hang out with her friends." But not if I have to die and come back to do it...

    I think I have heard of Elizabeth Chandler from a long time ago and I have never seen these books...How daring of you to start at the end of a series...I could never do that in a million years...

    First, how have I never seen you or been here before?? I mean we have tons of the same friends and book tastes, etc., and even a shared love of animals.
    Anyway, I'm here. *waves* Nice to 'meet' you. :)

    I've seen these books around, but have not read any of them. I must rectify this, stat.

    Hugs,
    Lola
