Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, in which we take a look at upcoming releases we’re super excited about.
Today’s selection and book I’m excitedly awaiting is:
The Things We Water
by Mariana Zapata
Adult Fiction – Fantasy – Romance
May 2nd, 2025
Goodreads
Once upon a time, a girl found a magical puppy, and her life was never the same again.
Nina Popoca needs help.
So, so much of it.
The only place she can find that help is on a sprawling ranch in Colorado. A place hiding more than a community filled with magical creatures trying to live their lives in safety and in peace. A village that might hold the answers to questions she’s had her entire life.
And if that ranch is owned by her best friend’s hunky cousin?
…there are worse things in the world than having to live right by Henri Blackrock.
This thankfully isn’t a long wait as it was just recently announced and already releases on May 2nd, but I’m still very much anticipating it. A new book by Mariana Zapata, the slow-burn romance queen, and it’s a fantasy novel? With that pretty cover? Bring it on!
Tell Me:
Will you be reading this book?
This goes straight to my TBR! I have read only one book by this author, but I enjoyed it and I wanted to read more. It’s just that there are so many interesting books out there!! And not as much time, sigh!
Anyway, this sounds interesting and more my usual pick than her other books so I am curious!
Thanks for sharing it!
Yay, I’m happy to have brought this book to your attention then
I hope you’ll love it if you decide to pick it up! I’m very curious about it myself.
Oh that cover is stunning! Also love the synopsis, especially the magical creatures. Never read a Mariana Zapata book so will this be my first, maybe??
Oh, I hope you’ll love it if you decide to try this one as your first Mariana Zapata! I think it’s her first fantasy so I’m very curious myself
This sounds really cool!
I think so too!
Sounds good. Pretty cover. I have read one Zapata book before and had enjoyed it.
I hope we’ll both enjoy this one if and when we pick it up
