Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
While I am intrigued by the demons in The Demon Catchers of Milan by Kat Beyer, it’s the setting that really caught my interest. I hope Mia gets to at least enjoy some good pasta while she is monster hunting in Milan.
| Mia’s ordinary life is disrupted in the most horrifying way possible when she is possessed by a hungry and powerful demon–and only saved by the arrival of relatives from Italy, the country her grandfather fled many decades ago. Now her cousins Emilio and Giuliano say the only way to keep her safe is for her to come back with them to Milan, to live, to learn Italian, to fall in and out of love, and to master the family trade: fighting all demons with the lore of bell, book, and candle. Milan is not what Mia expected, but it will change her forever, in this stunningly well-written novel about an American girl who, fleeing an ancient evil, finds her only salvation in her ancestral home. |
In stores August 2012
What are you waiting on?
You are absolutely right – I want it more for the setting than anything else, but the paranormal aspect will do quite nicely!

The cover is amazing, and it sounds like it would be pretty good too. Happy 4th.
