Waiting on Wednesday (15)

Posted by Giselle

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:

                                    Touched

                                    Cyn Balog

                                    Release date: August 14th, 2012

Nick Cross always listens to the voice in his head. Because if he doesn’t? Things can go really, really wrong. Like the day he decided to go off script and saved a girl from being run over . . . and let another one drown. Trying to change the future doesn’t work.

But this summer at the Jersey Shore, something’s about to happen that Nick never could have predicted. He meets a girl named Taryn and finds out about the Book of Touch. Now the path that he thought he was on begins to shift . . . and there’s no way to stop things from happening. Or is there?

In a life where there are no surprises, nothing has prepared Nick for what he’s about to discover–or the choice he will be forced to make. . . 

Add it to your Goodreads to-read shelf

First, this cover is very detailed. I keep noticing something new on it and I love it. And second, this synopsis is fascinating and sounds to have some great twists and mysteries.

What’s on your waiting list this week?
Leave me a link I’ll go visit! =)

   Oh wow, that cover. I didn’t really look at it until you said that it was detailed, and then I saw a Ferris Wheel! Very cool. I like the premise a lot, but I can’t help but laugh every time I hear “Jersey Shore.” I guess I should be mad at MTV. Nice pick, Giselle!
