Waiting on Wednesday (41)

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:
The Gathering Dark
Christine Johnson
Release date: February 12th, 2013
by Simon Pulse

 
Keira’s hallucinating. First it’s a door hovering above the road; then it’s a tree in her living room. But with her parents fighting and her best friend not speaking to her, Keira can’t tell anyone about her breakdown. Until she meets Walker. They have an electric connection—and somehow it’s as if he can see the same shadowy images.

The more Keira slowly confides in Walker, the more intense—and frightening—her visions become. Trusting him may be more dangerous than Keira could have ever imagined. Because Walker is not what he appears to be—and neither are her visions

I decided I would step away from post-apocalypse novels this week, and pick something more unique. I noticed this book earlier today and when I saw it had to do with strange hallucinations and visions - which always fascinates - it went on my TBR list immediately. Plus, that lovely cover surely helps!

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
Link me up! :)

  15. Definitely agreed! While I fear that this ~electric connection~ might stray into the cheesy and cliche, I think if this is done well, it could be really eerie and wonderful. And yeah, that cover certainly doesn't hurt. It's so haunting and lovely.

  34. Characters with visions seem to be a popular topic; I think I've already seen a few other WOW posts with different books featuring visions. Maybe that will be the hot new trend in YA? We'll have to wait and see how these books do.
