This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Embark on a thrilling journey with Goldenborn, where a teen girl must navigate a hidden realm of Ghanaian gods and supernatural crimes in San Francisco’s AfricaTown to save her father and uncover her true power.
Ever since an unexplained orb of blazing light left her father in a coma, seventeen-year-old Akoma Addo’s secret job investigating supernatural crimes in San Francisco’s AfricaTown has served as a distraction from her grief. But when a dead body is discovered in a pool of molten gold and ash, Akoma is drawn into a hidden world of Ghanaian gods and mages led by the trickster, storytelling god himself, Anansi. Soon, Anansi reels Akoma in with a proposition-one that promises to revive her father and snare the serial killer she’s been hunting-as long as she agrees to lie to everyone she loves and awaken her ancestral magic . . . becoming the very type of supernatural being she’s dedicated herself to fighting. All of which complicates things with Xander, the new boy in town who’s seriously gorgeous and vying for her attention. Lying has never come easily to Akoma. But in a world of assassins and double agents, she’ll learn to spin her own stories-and discover whether she can trust a god famous for his duplicity.

Why I’m Waiting: All I needed to see was “Ghanaian gods and supernatural crimes” and that solidified that I needed this lol And Anansi is in this book too?! I mean I hope he stays in human form, but still, I need this. Serial killers, dead bodies, supernatural beings, Anansi, and secret job investigating supernatural crimes…… Scholastic Press, if you see this, I beeeggggggg! Please can we get this into my hands? Where do I send in the request? Ugh I’m not going to rest until I get this in my hands!
What about you? Does this sound good to you? Will you read it when it comes out? Let me know in the comments!
