"Waiting on" Wednesday: Darkness Descending

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're anxiously awaiting.

My pick for this Wednesday...

Darkness Descending 
Author: Devyn Quinn
{Vampire Armagedon Series ~ Book #1}

The first seal has been broken, signaling the end of days. Fallen angels in the form of vampires are infecting humans one by one, creating an army fit for Armageddon. Of the few who survive the infection, one stands alone above all others…

For one year, Jesse Burke has been suppressing the beast within, driven by vengeance to destroy the vampiric fallen angels terrorizing New Orleans. But a war of biblical proportions is too much for one girl to handle, and she must turn to slayer Maddox deValois for training, though it threatens her fiercely-guarded independence. But the sinister demon Queen Amonate is doing everything in her power to lure Jesse to her side to fulfill her destiny as the mother of the devil’s child.

Before this war is over, everyone will learn that hell hath no fury like a woman possessed…(Goodreads)

*Release Date: August 2, 2011

Why I'm "waiting":

Fallen angels as vampires, slayers, demons and a kick ass-heroine in a fight against evil all set in the beautiful city of New Orleans...now this sounds like the makings of a phenomenal book! This will be my first read by this author but I love an original urban fantasy and this one seems to fit the bill. The eye catching cover just adds to the appeal. Can't wait to get my hands on Darkness Descending this summer!
