Waiting on Wednesday: Juliet Immortal

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.  "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay
Pub. Date: September 13, 2011


Goodreads says, "The most tragic love story in history . . .  Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love."

*You had me at Juliet.  Any book dealing with one of my favorite Shakespearian plays, Romeo and Juliet, is a book for me. The synopsis sounds extremely unique; plus, who doesn't love that cover?  Let me know what you think!

    I knew there was something not quite right about that Romeo...

    I have this one on my TBR list too. Great pick! I do like the twist on the usual starcrossed love theme.

    Ooh! That blurb alone makes me wish the book was out already so I could read it now! I'm a huge Shakespeare buff, too, and I love the premise of turning the "true" story of Romeo and Juliet on its head. Thanks so much for the rec!


    Smiles!
