WoW: Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post started by Breaking the Spine, to show books that we are patiently waiting for. 

Blurb: In sixteen-year-old Felicita’s world, magic
is strictly controlled—or so those in power like to believe.
After her dearest friend, Ilven, kills herself to escape an
arranged marriage, Felicita chooses freedom over privilege.
She fakes her own death and leaves her sheltered life as
one of Pelimburg’s magical elite behind. Living in the slums,
scrubbing dishes for a living, she falls for charismatic Dash
while also becoming fascinated with vampire Jannik. Then
something shocking washes up on the beach: Ilven’s death
has called out of the sea a dangerous, wild magic. Felicita
must decide whether her loyalties lie with the family she
abandoned . . . or with those who would twist this dark
power to destroy Pelimburg’s caste system, and the whole
city along with it

 Blurb: Life is looking up for Sabina Kane. Now that her scheming grandmother is dead, the threat of war has passed and the rulers of the dark races are about to sign a treaty to ensure ongoing peace. Her relationship with sexy mage Adam Lazarus is strong and all her friends are around her. Even her magic training is progressing further than she ever expected. The only two dark spots in her otherwise settled life are her guilt over her sister Maisie's fragile mental state and Sabina's own sinking sense that she's got unfinished business with Cain, the mysterious cult leader she let get away months earlier. When a string of murders rock the New York dark races community and threatens to stall the peace negotiations, Sabina finds herself helping to find the killer. Her investigation leads her down troubling paths that have her questioning everything - and everyone - she knows. And the closer she gets to the murderer, the more Sabina realises this is one foe she may not able to kill
