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!
A young exorcist faces demons both real and figurative in this searing horror novel from the author of The Year of the Witching and An Academy for Liars.
At eight years old, Juliet Godfrey was violently possessed by a demon who had already claimed the lives of her parents. When it proved unexpellable, she was sent to the gothic halls of the Godfrey Home for Demonically Afflicted Children, where she grew up under the mentorship and care of exorcist Luther Godfrey—and formed an uneasy truce with the demon inside of her.
Twenty years after her possession, a steely-eyed Juliet travels the country as an exorcist herself, removing powerful (and often violent) demons from their human hosts, and occasionally referring the rare children like her, who are infected with particularly dangerous demons, to the Godfrey Home.
When Luther Godfrey dies following the unexplained disappearance of Seth, one of his troubled young charges, Juliet returns home for the first time in many years to attend his funeral. But upon her arrival, Juliet discovers that Luther left Godfrey House, and the care of all its students, to her. As the house’s new matron, it’s Juliet’s responsibility to protect Luther’s legacy and find his missing charge, Seth, before the dark forces that stalk him claim his life…and his soul.

Why I’m Waiting: The cover lol No for real, I saw the cover and immediately clicked on it to learn more. Then I saw that there was by Alexis Henderson and that it was about an exorcist who inherits a home for children infected with dangerous demons to the Godfrey House. And that was really all I needed to know. I was set since then. I can’t wait to get my hands on this, it looks and sounds incredible!
What about you? Have you seen this cover? Will you add this to your TBR? Let me know in the comments!
Ooh that does sound intriguing! And that cover is definitely creepy! Lol. Hope you love this one once you get to read it!
