Waiting on Wednesday: Drift & Dagger by Kendall Kulper and Lock & Mori by Heather W. Petty

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I have two intriguing (at least I think they are) YA books I'm highly anticipating. Drift & Dagger is this author's second release and I'm looking forward to it after liking her first one. The other book, Lock & Mori, sounds fabulous, especially since I rather love anything Sherlock Holmes related. So here they are...

Summary

In modern-day London, two brilliant high school students, one Sherlock Holmes and a Miss James "Mori" Moriarty, meet. A murder will bring them together. The truth very well might drive them apart.

Before they were mortal enemies, they were much more.

FACT: Someone has been murdered in London's Regent's Park. The police have no leads.

FACT: Miss James "Mori"Moriarty and Sherlock "Lock" Holmes should be hitting the books on a school night. Instead, they are out crashing a crime scene.

FACT: Lock has challenged Mori to solve the case before he does. Challenge accepted.

FACT: Despite agreeing to Lock's one rule--they must share every clue with each other--Mori is keeping secrets.

OBSERVATION: Sometimes you can't trust the people closest to you with matters of the heart. And after this case, Mori may never trust Lock again.

  11. I love anything Sherlock, however it seems like I read something about this book I wasn't too excited about... what or where, I am not sure. I'll look forward to read MORE about it as its release date nears and hearing what you think if/when you read it, Tressa. :)

  12. Ooo, I knew that Kendall Kulper was coming out with a new novel, but I hadn't seen it until now! I still haven't read Salt and Storm, but Drift and Dagger is definitely going on my TBR. Lock & Mori sounds really interesting too!
