Waiting on Wednesday (11)




"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week I'm waiting on 

Venom by Fiona Paul


Venom (Secrets of the Eternal Rose, #1)Title: Venom
Author: Fiona Paul
Will be published on: October 30th, 2012 (Philomel)
Pages: 432
Series: Secrets of the Eternal Rose #1
Synopsis from Goodreads: Cassandra Caravello is one of Renaissance Venice’s lucky elite: with elegant gowns, sparkling jewels, her own lady’s maid, and a wealthy fiancé, she has everything a girl could desire. Yet ever since her parents’ death, Cassandra has felt trapped, alone in a city of water, where the dark and labyrinthine canals whisper of escape.
When Cass stumbles upon a murdered woman—practically in her own backyard—she’s drawn into a dangerous world of courtesans, killers, and secret societies. Soon, she finds herself falling for Falco, a mysterious artist with a mischievous grin... and a spectacular skill for trouble. Can Cassandra find the murderer, before he finds her? And will she stay true to her fiancé, or succumb to her uncontrollable feelings for Falco?
Beauty, love, romance, and mystery weave together in a stunning novel that’s as seductive and surprising as the city of Venice itself.

Venice? Renaissance? Gowns? Jewels? Murder? YES! Give me this book NOW!
I love the cover and the synopsis sounds like a book I'll really love!
