Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.
The Beckoning Shadow by Katharyn Blair
Releases on: July 2nd 2019
The Magicians meets Fight Club
in this heart-stopping contemporary fantasy stand-alone about a teen
girl with special powers who seeks redemption through a dangerous
tournament that guarantees the winner a chance to undo the past. Perfect
for fans of Cassandra Clare and The Young Elites, and written by debut author Katharyn Blair.
Vesper Montgomery can summon your worst fear and turn it into a reality—but she’s learned the hard way that it’s an addicting and dangerous power. One wrong move and you could hurt someone you love.
But when she earns a spot in the Tournament of the Unraveling, where competitors battle it out for a chance to rewrite the past, Vesper finally has a shot to reverse the mistakes that have changed her forever. She turns to Sam Hardy, a former MMA fighter who’s also carrying a tragedy he desperately wants to undo. However, helping heal Sam’s heart will mean breaking her own, and the competition forces her to master her powers—powers she has been terrified of since they destroyed her life.

Thoughts:
In a world where pretty much every novel marks the beginning of a series, I'm stoked to come across a fabulous sounding novel set to be a standalone! The Beckoning Shadow seems really promising and I'm very much looking forward to reading it.
What do you think of The Beckoning Shadow?
