Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to highlight upcoming releases we're anxiously awaiting! This week I am waiting on....
HushedBlurb:
He’s saved her. He’s loved her. He’s killed for her.
Eighteen-year-old Archer couldn’t protect his best friend, Vivian, from what happened when they were kids, so he’s never stopped trying to protect her from everything else. It doesn’t matter that Vivian only uses him when hopping from one toxic relationship to another—Archer is always there, waiting to be noticed.
Then along comes Evan, the only person who’s ever cared about Archer without a single string attached. The harder he falls for Evan, the more Archer sees Vivian for the manipulative hot-mess she really is.
But Viv has her hooks in deep, and when she finds out about the murders Archer’s committed and his relationship with Evan, she threatens to turn him in if she doesn’t get what she wants… And what she wants is Evan’s death, and for Archer to forfeit his last chance at redemption.

The Alchemy of Forever (Incarnation #1)
After spending six hundred years on earth, Seraphina Ames has seen it all. Eternal life provides her with the world’s riches, but at a very high price: innocent lives. Centuries ago, her boyfriend, Cyrus, discovered a method of alchemy that allows them to swap bodies with other humans, jumping from one vessel to the next, taking the human’s life in the process. No longer able to bear the guilt of what she’s done, Sera escapes from Cyrus and vows to never kill again.
Then sixteen-year-old Kailey Morgan gets into a horrific car accident right in front of her, and Sera accidentally takes over her body. For the first time, Sera finds herself enjoying the life of the person she’s inhabiting—and falls for the human boy who lives next door. But Cyrus will stop at nothing until she’s his again, and every moment she stays, she’s putting herself and the people she’s grown to care for in great danger. Will Sera have to give up the one thing that’s eluded her for centuries: true love?

Reason I can't wait for this one?
Please read the blurb! That is all...
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war-- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting asThe Hunger Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers anxiously awaiting its sequel.
I feel as if I'm the ONLY person blogger who hasn't read this one but that could be because every blogger 's review for this title is 5/5.(and that makes me impatient)
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON?

Great picks! Just the other day I added Hushed to my TBR list, it sounds so cool and mysterious! The Alchemy of Forever seems awesome as well, a really refreshing main idea! Plus, I ADORE the cover! And Shatter Me is a must, definitely! Just one week to go, wohoo *jumps around the room*
ReplyDeleteThat blurb on Hush just made me sad. I don't know if I could read the whole thing. On the other hand, I can't WAIT to read Shatter Me.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! The Alchemy of Forever sounds really good; I've never heard of it before. And yes, I cannot wait for Shatter Me either! :) Seems like everyone...who isn't me, has read the book already! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe Alchemy of Forever sounds REALLY interesting. I love that the main character is not super squeaky clean and exists as a morally gray character. Those characters, to me, are always the most compelling. Great picks and thanks for stopping by my WoW! :)
ReplyDeleteI am dying of anticipation for Alchemy of Forever! I just started Shatter Me and I'm loving it so far!
ReplyDeleteAll these are great picks, I really want to read Shatter Me it sounds so good!!!
