Taunting Tuesday's (#3)

Today is Tuesday, and for you comes a taunting Tuesday. So what is currently taunting me? Nope, not a book that is to be released next year, but a book to be released NEXT week! Yes, you heard me correctly... err, read what I wrote correctly. I know it is only a week away, but I still can't help but feel taunted. So enough of this babbling, here is what I cannot wait for:

Jessica Rules the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey. I absolutely adored the first book, Jessica's guide to dating on the dark side, and was extremely excited when I learned that Beth wrote a corresponding book. I never had the chance of reading The Wedding on Beth's website, but will when it is back up. I am so excited to continue this story. Yes, it is a vampire story, but it's a good vampire story. Nope, no sparkly vampires.

The synopsis:

"It’s one thing to find out you’re a vampire princess. It’s a whole other thing to actually rule. Newly married Jessica Packwood is having a hard enough time feeling regal with her husband, Lucius, at her side. But when evidence in the murder of a powerful elder points to Lucius, sending him into solitary confinement, Jessica is suddenly on her own. Determined to clear her husband’s name, Jessica launches into a full-scale investigation, but hallucinations and nightmares of betrayal keep getting in her way. Jessica knows that with no blood to drink, Lucius’s time is running out. Can she figure out who the real killer is—and whom she can trust—before it’s too late? "

Gah! I am so excited for this. I should probably mention the release date: December 21st 2011. Although, on goodreads it says in 2012, but on Chapters Indigo, it says December of this year. We will have to see.

Over to you. What's taunting you this fine Tuesday?
