Waiting on Wednesday (38)

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:
Dualed
Elsie Chapman
Release date: February 26th, 2013
by Random House

Would you live through the ultimate test of survival?

The city of Kersh is a safe haven, but the price of safety is high. Everyone has a genetic Alternate—a twin raised by another family—and citizens must prove their worth by eliminating their Alts before their twentieth birthday. Survival means advanced schooling, a good job, marriage—life.

Fifteen-year-old West Grayer has trained as a fighter, preparing for the day when her assignment arrives and she will have one month to hunt down and kill her Alt. But then a tragic misstep shakes West’s confidence. Stricken with grief and guilt, she’s no longer certain that she’s the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future. If she is to have any chance of winning, she must stop running not only from her Alt, but also from love . . . though both have the power to destroy her.

Killing yourself takes on a whole new meaning, huh?
I actually found this one last week while checking out some WoW posts so I'm sure a lot of you have seen it, and doesn't it Just. Sound. Epic!? This one is 100% up my alley and so far my most anticipated debut of 2013 (2013!!! *sobs*) so I just had to feature it today. I also just met Elsie on Twitter and 1) she's Canadian! Booya!! And 2) she seems totally awesome. Plus, this cover is badass! Conclusion: WAAAAANNNNNT!

What book are you excited for this week?
Link me up! :)

  21. I hate finding amazingly awesome books with amazing covers and fantastic blurbs only to found out it isn't released until un-amazing 2013 (it's too far away)!

  22. I absolutely agree, this sounds amazing! I was surprised we haven't heard more buzz about it yet, but since the publishing date is still a long time from now, I'm sure it will come.
    Interestingly it was almost my WoW this week but I try to feature only a few books each week, and with the reveal of Laini Taylor's new book cover, I decided to feature it next week.

  23. Awesome find Giselle! Like you said this sounds amazing! I also absolutely love the cover! It's such a shame that we have to wait so long for it! :(

  64. Agreed. This looks great.

    BTW your new look is awesome! I love it. Professional, pretty, and cutie pie header.

    ReplyDelete

  65. Wow. This is really cool. It reminds me of the storyline in Sabrina the Teenage Witch where every Spellman had a twin and they had to determine which one was good and which one was bad. The bad one was banished from the mortal realm.
