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:
One Dark Between
Sonia Gensler
Release date: August 2013
by Knopf Books for Young Readers
by Knopf Books for Young Readers
A supernatural romance about the powers that lie in the shadows of the mind, perfect for fans of Sarah Rees Brennan, Alyxandra Harvey, and Libba Bray.
At the turn of the twentieth century, Spiritualism and séances are all the rage—even in the scholarly town of Cambridge, England. While mediums dupe the grief-stricken, a group of local fringe scientists seeks to bridge the gap to the spirit world by investigating the dark corners of the human mind.
Each running from a shadowed past, Kate, Asher, and Elsie take refuge within the walls of Summerfield College. But their peace is soon shattered by the discovery of a dead body nearby. Is this the work of a flesh-and-blood villain, or is something otherworldly at play? This unlikely trio must illuminate what the scientists have not, and open a window to secrets taken to the grave—or risk joining the spirit world themselves.
There is just something about Gothic thrillers that I love! Nothing can beat the chill of a great Gothic novel. It's an old-fashioned chilling-creepy, none of that cheap made-for-Hollywood thrill we have to settle with, now. I love the atmosphere and they often completely enamor me, and THIS? Well this just sounds freaky as heck!
What are you waiting on this week?
Link me up! :)
Omg, YES. This looks so good. I have it on my To-Read list on Goodreads and am waiting eagerly for its release.

I don't have a WoW post this week, but I love Gothic thrillers too! (If I had to choose a WoW, it would probably be BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA for some of the same reasons you've written.) I also see that you're currently reading THE MADMAN'S DAUGHTER and can't wait to read your review on that one :).
ReplyDeleteI love books about spiritualism! I love the creepy atmosphere and this one sounds really good!

This looks awesome! Great find, chica! You want more gothic after Paper Valentine, don't you? :-p
ReplyDeleteSounds really dark and intriguing. I actually don't read many gothic novels.

Hadn't heard of this one before! Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteOh it sounds so great! Like a book I could like as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm stumbling across more an more books about séances lately (Blackbirds, Born of Illusion) and this one is a great addition to my gowing list! Thanks for pointing it out :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Sounds super creepy! eek
ReplyDeleteYep, a definite fan of the gothics. Not the best cover (is it the angle? not sure) but I like the way the portraits are.
ReplyDeleteHow do you find these books. It sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteGrace
I love this cover its so creepy. The book is one I can't wait to read as well.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW Pick
Ohh this sounds fantastic! Not a huge fan of the cover. I like the picture frames and the black and white walls. I don't like the bright yellow and the typography just is weird, but it seems like a book I would really like.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of reminds me of THE DIVINERS, which I absolutely ADORED. Great pick, Giselle! Your Waiting on Wednesdays never fail to impress me, honestly. ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that book.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness that sounds like a good book. Great pick and Happy Reading! Here is my WoW for this week!
This one looks so awesome and I fell in love with that cover when I saw it last week. I love the black/white theme of it with the creepy pictures. Plus, that is my dream wallpaper right there!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick :)
I love this book! I haven't read it yet, but I love it! I haven't heard of it, either, but I'll definitely be adding this to my TBR pile and keep a close eye on this one. Great pick! (And I love the cover)

That sounds good! Murder and mystery, I've added it to my GR list :) Thanks for sharing another great pick Giselle!
ReplyDeleteWoW at Mel@thedailyprophecy.
There certainly have been a lot of Gothic-influenced books out lately!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this one sounds really scary. :O I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IT. ;) The whole Gothic feel definitely sounds interesting and now I'm going to have to keep my eyelids peeled to see if I can get a copy early. ;) Thanks for letting me know about this book! Great pick, Giselle. :)
ReplyDeleteI only heard of this title last week and I love the sound of it. Seems a good book to be waiting on :)
