Waiting on Wednesday (132) - Cross My Heart by Sasha Gould

Waiting on Wednesday is a topic brought to life by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. With Waiting On Wednesday you get to introduce to everyone upcoming books you're excited about!

Cross My Heart by Sasha Gould
Coming March 13th 2012 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers

Venice, 1585.

When 16-year-old Laura della Scala learns that her older sister, Beatrice, has drowned, she is given no time to grieve. Instead, Laura's father removes her from the convent where he forcibly sent her years earlier and orders her to marry Beatrice's fiancé, a repulsive old merchant named Vincenzo. Panicked, Laura betrays a powerful man to earn her way into the Segreta, a shadowy society of women who deal in only one currency—secrets. The Segreta seems like the answer to Laura's prayers. The day after she joins their ranks, Vincenzo is publicly humiliated and conveniently exiled. Soon, however, Laura begins to suspect that her sister's death was not a tragic accident but a cold-blooded murder—one that might involve the Segreta and the women she has come to trust.

Oh my gosh, I need this book! This sounds like my kind of read. I absolutely LOVE historical fiction, and this sounds like one heck of a historical read. I so love the scene of the city in her dress, that is brilliant.

What are you guys waiting on?

Now THIS is a historical fiction I can be jazzed about. Murder mystery, betrayal, and deadly secrets. Candy for the cranium, I say.

Have an amazing reading week! And happy holidays!
