Waiting on Wednesday- Deadly Heat by Richard Castle


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. This day allows us to share news on upcoming releases that have us on the edge of our seats in anticipation.

I am a huge fan of the TV show Castle. I own all the seasons on DVD and I look forward to the return of the show with excitement. In case you are not familiar with the show, it is about a mystery writer named Richard Castle. He follows around a NYPD Detective named Kate Beckett. He follows her for inspiration for his newest character Nikki Heat. Each season Castle is working on a book and just before the next season starts that book is released. Now of course Richard Castle isn't a real person, but it is a lot of fun to read the book that the character is working on through out the show. Rumor has it that several different mystery authors write these under the pseudonym Richard Castle. I'm not sure if this is true but I have noticed reading these books that the writing style is sometimes different. I love that the publishing company acts as if Richard Castle was a real person. It adds a little extra to the show and the books are pretty good. As a fan this is really cool.

Here is the description from goodreads.com: 
Picking up where Frozen Heat left off, top NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat pursues the elusive former CIA station chief who ordered the execution of her mother over a decade ago. For the hunt, Nikki teams once again with her romantic partner, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Jameson Rook, and their quest for the old spy and the motive behind the past murder unearths an alarming terror plot-which is anything but ancient history. It is lethal. It is now. And it has already entered its countdown phase.

Complicating Heat's mission to bring the rogue spy to justice and thwart the looming terror event, a serial killer begins menacing the Twentieth Precinct and her homicide squad is under pressure to stop him, and soon. The frightening murderer, known for his chilling stealth, not only has singled out Nikki as the exclusive recipient of his taunting messages, he then boldly names his next victim: Detective Heat.
This sounds like it has the potential to be a great plot. I am looking forward to reading this and will have the review here once I do. I am looking forward to this not just because the story sounds like it will be good, but also that means that the show will be returning soon. This book will be released September 17th.

    Great pick! I'm a fan of the show but I haven't read any of the books. Thanks for stopping by my True Blood post, I hope you can go to Comic Con one day (it's crazy but a lot of fun). I don't have a WOW this week, I'm still trying to catch up on what I already have so there is nothing I am waiting for.

    Thanks,
    Kathy

    I have a ton on my to-read plate as well, but there are always new books that I want. I have a problem. Yes Comic Con is on my must visit list at some point. I'm a big comic book nerd so this is my dream. Thanks for stopping by as well.

    Can't wait for Castle to return on ABC.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Image
Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
