Can't Wait Wednesday

Can’t-Wait Wednesday #54 ~ Better Than Revenge by Kasie West

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up too! Find out more here.

This will be published on January 7, 2025. I am starting to read a little more romance these days, and I ran across this book and it caught my attention. Plus I do love young adult books pretty much all YA tropes. I am very funny when it comes to reading romance though. Let me just say in the past I came across way too many bad romance books, not that I haven’t come across bad thrillers, but when I was reading romance years ago, it felt like the tropes became too repetitive for me. But now I am finding that thrillers I have been reading are beginning to do this. So different genres are starting to catch my eye. I would even like to try fantasy, but wow wee, where do you start?

Premise

Seventeen-year-old Finley has only ever had one goal: to become a famous podcaster. This includes coming up with the perfect pitch to land her on her school’s podcast team. But when her football-obsessed boyfriend, Jensen, decides to also try out—and uses her idea—she’s left confused and betrayed.

Determined to get back at him, Finley and her friends try to find the perfect revenge scheme, but quickly discover that Jensen is almost-impossible to best. Keyword, almost. 

By chance, Finley discovers a knack for kicking and decides to take Jensen’s spot on the football team. To help her train, she recruits Jensen’s cute but conceited nemeses, Theo. Soon the two discover that their connection runs deeper than football. But Finley can’t let herself get distracted, and Theo has secrets of his own. Is true love really better than the perfect revenge?

Savannah
Imagine my surprise when the chance to interview the country’s most notorious man on death row lands on my table. His final confession. It’s too good an opportunity to turn down.
Robbie Hammond is old enough to be my father, a man condemned for the murder of at least fourteen women. He is dang3roús, d3adlý. Intense in ways I can’t explain. Yet, despite the red flags, his magnetism draws me to him. I’m powerless to fight it.

Robbie
Not everything is as it appears. The moment Savannah set foot in here, she shivered like a leaf in the wind, barely able to hold eye contact without a blush creeping up her neck.
I can’t take my eyes off her. It’s no mistake she’s here, watching me from across the table.
There’s a reason I only agreed to talk to Savannah Campbell before they put me down—why it has to be her.
Beneath the quivering smile hides a darkness I recognize.
A darkness that sparks my interest.
But the question is: how deep does it run?

BLURB

She thinks she signed up for a game.

One night with no names, no mercy, and identities hidden with a mask.

One swipe right, and she becomes Red.

I become her hunter.

She believes she`s meeting a stranger.

She`s wrong.

I`ve been stalking her long before the app.

Heartbreak has made her reckless, and she`s confessed her darkest desires out loud. Together, we`re a toxic love story for the ages, but will it have a deadly ending? She belongs to me, regardless of my sins, and she always will.

In these woods, I make the rules.

This isn`t a night of romance; it`s primal instinct and dark obsession.

Toxic desire sharpened into hunger, and I`m ravenous.

She can`t escape me now.

By morning, she`ll understand the truth.

She wasn`t here for the thrill. She was here for me, the hunter who`s been waiting in the dark.

The man she has always belonged to.

Some love stories don`t end happily.

They end in possession.
