WoW (2)

Posted by Giselle

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. 

My pick this week:

                                   Dark Companion

                                   Marta Acosta

                                   Release date: June, 2012 

When foster teen Jane Williams is invited to attend elite Birch Grove Academy for Girls and escape her violent urban neighborhood, she thinks the offer is too good to be true. She’s even offered her own living quarters, the groundskeeper’s cottage in the center of the birch grove. 

Something’s not quite right about the school — or is it Jane? She thinks she sees things in the birch grove at night. She’s also beginning to suspect that the elegant headmistress and her sons are hiding secrets. Lucky is the gorgeous, golden son who is especially attentive to Jane, and Jack is the sardonic puzzling brother.

The school with its talented teachers and bright students is a dream for a science and math geek like Jane. She also loves her new friends, including hilarious poetry-spouting rich girl, Mary Violet. But the longer Jane stays at Birch Grove, the more questions she has about the disappearance of another scholarship girl and a missing faculty member.

Jane discovers one secret about Birch Grove, which only leads to more mysteries. What is she willing to sacrifice in order to stay at this school…and be bound to Birch Grove forever?

I saw this a while back on Goodreads and have been awaiting it since. The cover is gorgeous for one, and the premise sounds original as well as intriguing. I love suspense and creepy stories, and this sounds like exactly my type of novel. Sadly, I have a long time to wait! 🙁  

What about you? What book are you awaiting?

    Gorgeous cover. I feel like I’ve read a lot of books lately that take place in a creepy boarding school, but most of them have been a lot of fun. Hopefully this one will be too!
