Waiting on Wednesday (157)

Hey,

This week I'm waiting for...

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry

Release Date: May 26, 2015 // June 4, 2015

Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both. 

Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down. 

No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.

If you're in the US and an avid fan then you should have got this yesterday but those of us in the UK have a little longer to wait. Isn't that just heartbreaking? Katie McGarry is one of my top top favourite authors for contemporary and this book doesn't sound like it's going to disappoint!

I'm really sad about the UK cover (on the right) it just looks so vanilla! *Sigh* I will get over it.

A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

Release Date: October 6, 2015

Grace Mae knows madness.

She keeps it locked away, along with her voice, trapped deep inside a brilliant mind that cannot forget horrific family secrets. Those secrets, along with the bulge in her belly, land her in a Boston insane asylum.

When her voice returns in a burst of violence, Grace is banished to the dark cellars, where her mind is discovered by a visiting doctor who dabbles in the new study of criminal psychology. With her keen eyes and sharp memory, Grace will make the perfect assistant at crime scenes. Escaping from Boston to the safety of an ethical Ohio asylum, Grace finds friendship and hope, hints of a life she should have had. But gruesome nights bring Grace and the doctor into the circle of a killer who stalks young women. Grace, continuing to operate under the cloak of madness, must hunt a murderer while she confronts the demons in her own past.

I am so madly in love with this cover!

This week I'm waiting for...

Soundless by Richelle Mead

Release Date: November 17, 2015

For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village, where rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from self-sustaining. Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom. 

When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei’s home, the people she loves, and her entire existence is plunged into crisis, under threat of darkness and starvation.

But soon Fei is awoken in the night by a searing noise, and sound becomes her weapon.

I have adored Richelle Mead for years now and my excitement for this book is through the roof.

Hey,

I hope you are all doing brilliantly! It's been tough lately because exams are now hitting me full swing so I won't be posting a lot apart from my usual WoW posts. I promise there will be more reviews in the near future, I just need to get past these GCSEs. 

These past few weeks, I have received:

Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas - Received -
Thank you, Bloomsbury! I am a good half way through and I am loving the premise. It's about a boy who is allergic to electricity and a boy who was born without eyes. Cool as.

Thank you, Harpercollins! I have not read anything by Melissa Marr since her Wicked Lovely series and I'm looking forward to delve back into her writing.
