Hey everyone. Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine. Its purpose is to highlight upcoming releases we’re dying to get our hands on.

Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper’s destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Just when life can’t get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she’s charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper’s least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him–and discovers that David’s own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.

With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y’all beg for more.

I’m a HUGE Rachel Hawkins fan. I loved the Hex Hall series. I haven’t read School Spirits yet, but it looks amazing. If you don’t know, it’s a spin-off (stand-alone) to the Hex Hall series.

Rebel Belle sounds amazing, interesting, unique – Edelweiss describes it as Buffy with a southern twist. Uhm… I NEED THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!! I LOVE Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I love Rachel Hawkins. That’s, like, the BEST combination, ever!

Unortunately, Rebel Belle doesn’t release until April 2014 – That’s such a long time from now!!! *Pouts and sniffles*
