My pick this week is Such Wicked Intent by Kenneth Oppel
Here is the Goodreads synopsis
When does obsession become madness? Tragedy has forced sixteen-year-old Victor Frankenstein to swear off alchemy forever. He burns the Dark Library. He vows he will never dabble in the dark sciences again ? just as he vows he will no longer covet Elizabeth, his brother's betrothed. If only these things were not so tempting. When he and Elizabeth discover a portal into the spirit world, they cannot resist. Together with Victor's twin, Konrad, and their friend Henry, the four venture into a place of infinite possibilities where power and passion reign. But as they search for the knowledge to raise the dead, they unknowingly unlock a darkness from which they may never returnI loved the first book in this series immensely. I am very excited to get my hands on this sequel. The action, well done love triangle, and captivating characters make this a must read series.
Expected release date - August 21, 2012
