GoodReads: I usually list the GoodReads description, but it is a little spoilery for the series, so I will say this. Black Heart is the third (and I believe final) book set in a world where the mob is organized around illegal magic. Cassel is an anti-hero who grew up learning the art of the con and now spends his time trying to walk the fine line between right and wrong, himself and his family, and the law and the mob.
Why I'm Excited: I LOVE THE CURSE WORKER SERIES. I love the characters, I love the plot, I love the cons, and I love the conflict. Black always surprises me, always rivets me, and I fully expect this to be one of the best books I read all year. I recommend this series to everybody and think it will appeal to teenage boys who don't want to read. That is a WIN!!!!
I will admit my disappointment in the repackaging of the series. I still love the original covers, but if these will get more people to read this series, then once again... win! Black Heart Comes out April 3, 2012!

Have not read this series -- will add to my list!
ReplyDeleteYes, come back when you read Wither and let me know what you thought!!
I have this one but I didn't know it was part of a series so I have to catch up first. It looks really good though.
ReplyDeleteEven though it will put off my being able to read Black Heart for a while, I have decided that I want to get all of the books. I loved the audio versions, but I do want to read the series for myself. So, I'll get the books, reread the first two, read the last one, wait a bit, and then listen to the audio version anyway just to hear Jesse Eisenberg read it to me because he does such a great job!
ReplyDeleteI have not read this series but really want to. Love the cover for this book. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog. New follower, btw :)

LOL just reading all of your enthusiasm is making ME so much more excited for this book than I was before! x) And it was a really smart move not to list the description for this book in case of spoiling it for some people who haven't read the series yet too -- I never would've thought of doing that! :) The summary that you wrote up yourself works perfectly! <3
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick for your WOW this week, Steph!
I loved the "old" covers, but I love this one, too. Because it's purple!! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read it!
Great pick! One of the books I'm currently reading right now is White Cat and I'm really enjoying it! I'll definitely be wanting to read this after I get through Red Glove!
