Waiting on Wednesday (23)

Posted by Giselle

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 Little Woods

McCormick Templeman

                                    Release date: July 10th, 2012

by Schwartz & Wade (Random House)

Add it to your Goodreads

Unexplained disappearances. Suspicious deaths. There’s something wrong with the woods behind St. Bede’s Academy.

When Cally Wood starts at St. Bede’s halfway through her junior year, she’s suddenly thrust into a world of privilege and prestige, and in no time flat, she learns to navigate the complex social world of the upper echelon. But amid the illicit romances and weekend-long parties, Cally discovers that a brilliant but troubled girl named Iris disappeared from St. Bede’s just a few months ago. Most people assume she ran away, but the police still haven’t found her. And Iris wouldn’t be the first girl to go missing from the school. Ten years ago, Cally’s sister was visiting a friend from camp at St. Bede’s when both girls vanished from their beds.

As Cally tries to unravel the mystery surrounding Iris–one she can’t help but link to her own sister’s disappearance–she discovers that beneath the surface of this elite school and its perfect students lies a web of secrets where rumors are indistinguishable from truths and it seems everyone has something to hide. 

Creepy mysteries like these are MY kind of book. I love em. Plus I really like this cover. It matches my blog and that just rocks!

What are you pining for this week?
