Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It is a chance to share those new releases were are super anxious to get our hands on and read.
This week I am picking the end to a trilogy that I have a love hate relationship with. I loved the first book but the second was just, well, confusing, and it made me angry a bit too. I know, your asking yourself why I'm eager to read book three and the simple answer is, I just have to know how it all ends. So yeah, this week's pick goes to none other than Courtney Cole's book, Lux.
Book Description:
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
My name is Calla Price and I’m broken.
My pieces are all around me, floating on the wind, even as I desperately try to grasp them.
Who is dead? Alive? Insane?
What is the truth?
I don’t know.
I do know this: The darkness is strangling me. With every breath, I choke on another lie.
My mind has protected me, but that shield will soon be lowered.
All will be ...more
Ever have those books that frustrate you but you just have to know how it ends?

Oh yes, that happens to me all the time! I know it'll drive me crazy and I get SO annoyed, but I can't seem to help myself. I wish you a painless final book, or as painless as possible. :))
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Maja, I'm hoping by the end it will all be worth it. ;)
Deletewhat is up with this series?? I am most curious now.
ReplyDeleteIt is just crazy and the last book keeps getting pushed back so that doesn't help.
DeleteI'm sorry this is a love-hate series, but let's hope you get that amazing ending you've been wanting :)
ReplyDeleteI really am hoping so Kim. :)
DeleteI'm really hope this final installment will make all your frustration worth it Ali! *crosses fingers*
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jenny!
DeleteOh I hope it delivers for you Ali. I have a fear of the 3rd book in ya trilogies and cannot tell you how many I own and have yet to read.
ReplyDeleteI know, I have a ton of them as well Kim so I completely understand.
DeleteI hope the wait is worth it! Need to know if I should start this series ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'll let you know. ;)
DeleteFingers crossed for you girlfriend, I do indeed know how you feel, that by the end of each installation you're equal parts going postal and counting the days until the next. xo
ReplyDeleteThat definitely describes this trilogy for me so far Debbie.
DeleteOh I remember hearing about the first book. I'm on the fence about whether I'd like it or not though.
ReplyDeleteYou might, it definitely isn't a read for everyone.
DeleteBooks that end in massive cliffhangers frustrate me so much - but almost always make me continue reading. *sigh* I curse whomever thought up this technique!
ReplyDeleteI know, sneaky little authors.
DeleteGorgeous cover :) I should revisit the series and actually finish it, lol. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteDid you read the first book then too Ramona?
DeleteLOL that's how they get ya. Hope this one is more like the first!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna, me too.
DeleteOkay, I still need to read Verum! I'll probably wait until closer to the Lux release date so I don't have to wait :)
ReplyDeleteYou should for sure, it has another killer cliffhanger like the first one did.
DeleteI have the first book in this series on my kindle but haven't started it yet. And yes, I totally know what you mean about love/hate with a series hahaha -- that is a good way to describe it!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Thanks, I think a lot of series anymore are sadly like this one for me. :P
DeleteI haven't read any of this series. I hope you enjoy reading this book more than the second one.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Thanks Sandra!
DeleteI just recently picked up the first book in this series when it was on sale. I'm definitely looking forward to reading it, as soon as I can find the time to fit it into my crazy hectic review schedule. LOL I love the covers too - GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteThe covers are gorgeous, every single one of them!
DeleteI don't remember if I have read this series or not, but the covers are really awesome.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
They are amazing for sure. ;)
DeleteI totally understand about not completely loving a series, but still needing to know how it ends!
ReplyDeleteI know, those sneaky authors that managed to do that. ;)
DeleteOh yeah, I forgot about this one! Wasn't it supposed to come out in May? Oh well. I forgot all my points of why the second book was annoying now. lol. Maybe I'll just have to reread.
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm not sure what happened but it got pushed back to August.
DeleteWell I am definitely not going to read the series until I know what you think about the ending! Endings can make or break a series for me....The cover is awesome though!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely let you know Becca!
DeleteOh this has a really nice cover!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I know this is a favourite among many of the bloggers I follow, but I've not had the chance to read it. I hope you'll enjoy it, Ali!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy, I'm really hoping so too!
DeleteOh yeah, I've suffered through a series or two just to get some closure. I hope you get satisfaction from this finale.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Tyler, I really hope so too and thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate it!
DeleteI hope this book gives you the satisfaction in the ending that you didn't get in the second book. I totally understand needing to find that closure even if a series has frustrated you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lauren!
DeleteThe writing alone is so melodic and the cover art is mesmerizing, I will need to wait for your review to see if this is something I would enjoy. Thanks for sharing the blurb, such even-handed writing!
ReplyDeleteThe writing is really good, part of what really draws you in.
DeleteThe premise doesn't reveal anything about the novel which is awesome! I hadn't heard of this one before but the cover is gorgeous. <3 Benish | Feminist Reflections
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun read, even if it's frustrating. :)
DeleteI LOVE that cover!!!
