Waiting on Wednesday #16

Was tut man nicht alles wenn das Lernen fad wird - genau: Amazon-Wunschzettel durchklicken und einen WoW für euch raussuchen! :-)
Heute zur Abwechslung mal keine Dystopie sondern ein YA, der im Chicago der 20er Jahre angesiedelt ist. Das Cover hat mich schon vor Monaten fasziniert, vor einigen Wochen hab ich endlich auch einen Klappentext dazu gefunden:

Vixen - Jillian Larkin

Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.

Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?

Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . .

Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .

From debut author Jillian Larkin, VIXEN is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic new series set in the Roaring Twenties . . . when anything goes.
