Waiting on Wednesday (27)

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:
Nerve
Jeanne Ryan
Release date: September 13th, 2012
by Dial Books (Penguin)

When Vee is picked to be a player in NERVE, an anonymous game of dares broadcast live online, she discovers that the game *knows* her. They tempt her with prizes taken from her ThisIsMe page and team her up with the perfect boy, sizzling-hot Ian. At first it’s exhilarating—Vee and Ian’s fans cheer them on to riskier dares with higher stakes. But the game takes a twisted turn. Suddenly they’re playing all or nothing, and the prize might be their lives.


I love the sounds of this mostly because it seems so different. A real-life, twisted, Sims-ish, dare game!? Awesome! The cover is really cool too it's what made me check out the book as soon as I saw this on someone's Facebook page.

What are you Waiting on this Wednesday?

  1. Oh, this could be COOL. Well, it could also be NOT cool, but let's go with COOL until proven otherwise, hah. Love the cover! It's so different from all the other YA covers out there.

  26. Whoaaa, this book sounds INTENSE. There's also a creepy feel to it, but definitely has the potential to be a page-turner. It reminds me a of a whole bunch of movies and random episodes of crime tv shows, so it'll be interesting to see this in novel-form~

    ReplyDelete

  27. Nerve sounds pretty good - first time I've seen it too!

  29. This has a interesting synopsis and is really different from other books out there. The cover is eye catching. I hope it's as good as it sounds. Great choice!

    ReplyDelete

  30. I will spend hours trying to figure that cover out. All your fault! ; )

    Definitely agree with you, it seems to be very different & I really hope that it actually IS because after a time most novels seem to merge into one big.. I don't even know what to call it. So some fresh air would be great! *g*

    Thank you for sharing it with us!

  35. Oooh, this sounds really interesting! I've never heard of NERVE. I've seen more books recently that focus on the ever-increasing virtual/social aspect of our current generation. It really _is_ crazy, when you think about it, how publicly we live our lives... I think I may add this to my GR List!

    Nice pick, as always, Giselle! :-)
