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
Corrine Jackson
Release date: December, 2012
by Kensington/KTeen
Remy O’Malley has the power to heal people with her touch, but her ability comes at a steep cost because every illness or injury she heals becomes her own.
This does sound similar to Maria Snyder’s Touch of Power but I haven’t read that one (yet) and Touched sounds like it could be great. I’m hoping a longer blurb will be revealed soon so we can get more insight on the plot itself. Corrine Jackson is also the author of the upcoming YA contemporary If I Lie which I’m also really looking forward to!
A note on the cover: I’m not sure if the cover for the US release will be the same since this one seems to be from the German publisher – but it’s beautiful. I really like it!
What are you waiting on?

The cover kind of reminds me of the Iron Fey with the swirls and the girls face. I love books that have healers in them and it instantly reminde me of a Touch of Power too (a good sign)!

Oh! German cover! Since I AM from Germany, I have seen that one already in one of the publisher’s websites, and I think there was also a giveaway on Goodreads once, but I haven’t read the blurb until now.
I’ve heard some good things about Maria Snyder, so I might check Touch of Power out.. *grin*

Great pick Giselle 🙂 !! This cover looks gorgeous and it does sound very good .. Looking forward to learn more about this one too !

When I saw the cover at first, I was confused why you’d wait for a German book, but now I understand. 😀 It’s a gorgeous cover nonetheless. And the summary sounds great. 🙂

I had not heard of this book yet! It does sound really good and I haven’t read Touch of Power yet either but I think I’ll be reading both! Healing someone would be awesome but I don’t want to take their injuries! I see lots of touch choices for this character! Thanks for sharing.
My WOW

*lol* I was just going to mention how it sounds similar to Touch of Power, but it of course it’s bound to be different. But, as you said, the cover IS GORGEOUS. I have a thing for pink (purple, and bluish) covers, especially with sparkles and pretty glowy swirls. I’m a cover whore, so this has caught my attention.
Have an amazing reading week!

You’re right, it does sound a lot like the premise of Touch of Power! I haven’t read that one yet but I like the general idea of a healer taking on another’s pain. Just hope that these two books aren’t too similar!
Giselle San Miguel
Ooh a healer. This sounds really interesting!! Thanks so much for sharing it with everyone!
Kathryn @ Clean Teen Fiction
That sounds sad. I don’t know if I would heal many people if that was the case. I’m definitely intrigued. I love the cover.
