‘Waiting on Wednesday’ is a meme created by Breaking the Spine where each week we discuss upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. I am looking forward to SO MANY BOOKS, so this weekly meme is a great way for me to share what books I need to get my hands on!

Paris, 1887.

Sixteen-year-old Nathalie Baudin writes the daily morgue column for Le Petit Journal. Her job is to summarize each day’s new arrivals, a task she finds both fascinating and routine. That is, until the day she has a vision of the newest body, a young woman, being murdered–from the perspective of the murderer himself.

When the body of another woman is retrieved from the Seine days later, Paris begins to buzz with rumors that this victim may not be the last. Nathalie’s search for answers sends her down a long, twisty road involving her mentally ill aunt, a brilliant but deluded scientist, and eventually into the Parisian Catacombs. As the killer continues to haunt the streets of Paris, it becomes clear that Nathalie’s strange new ability may make her the only one who can discover the killer’s identity–and she’ll have to do it before she becomes a target herself.

For those of you who are regular readers of my blog, you will know that I absolutely LOVE the Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco, and Spectacle definitely gives me SJTR vibes mixed with a little bit of The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter.

For the people that have already read it, there have been mixed reviews. Some people say that it’s amazing and then some people are saying that it wasn’t as good as they thought it would be, but oh well… Which is the reason I didn’t pre-order it. But it comes out next week anyway, so I don’t have to wait that long!
