Is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases were eagerly anticipating. The book I'm most excited about this week is...
Shadowlands by Kate Brian
Publication date: January 8th 2013
Publisher: Hyperion
Rory Miller had one chance to fight back and she took it. Rory survived… and the serial killer who attacked her escaped. Now that the infamous Steven Nell is on the loose, Rory must enter the witness protection with her father and sister, Darcy, leaving their friends and family without so much as a goodbye.
Starting over in a new town with only each other is unimaginable for Rory and Darcy. They were inseparable as children, but now they can barely stand each other. As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they’re starting to feel safe again, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it a coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?
I LOVE mysteries and this one sounds brilliant! The main character Rory already seems like a girl I can get behind and root for. She must be strong to fight off a serial killer and escape. Add to that, there's complicated relationship between Rory and her sister. I really want to know what's behind that drama. I don't really see anything mentioned about a romance, but a girl can hope. Plus, I just love that cover, gorgeous!! I'm dying to get my hands on this.
So what are you currently lusting after? We'd love to know. Link us up and we'll check it out.
oh yes sounds way cool! A serial killer on the loose! I agree brilliant cover!

Awesome pick this week, Rachel! I love the cover of this one and the synopsis sounds so unique and intriguing, so I can't wait till this releases! Why is the release date so far away? :(
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this one. Tried for it on Netgalley but I was declined. Boo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty cover! The birds, the background, the bold text - all so appealing and thankfully unique (these days, so many are alike).
ReplyDeleteSounds creepy but I like a bit of suspense and intrigue so I'm looking forward to checking this one out.
No romance? Aw! Maybe if we hope together? ;D
Shadow Lands definitely sounds interesting, although the group of "beautiful teenagers" is slightly suspect. ;)
ReplyDeleteI so cannot wait for this one! I adore the cover and I love this type of murder mystery. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post!

ReplyDeleteYou had me at surviving a serial killer. Not something that happens that often, and definitively a good base for a book. Be putting this onto my tbr, thank you for sharing!

Ooh, this looks fab! My WoW is at - what-should-i-read-next.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/waiting-on-wednesday_24.html
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for this one too Rachel! It sounds creepy and twisty and knowing me I'll probably flip to the back page first to see how it ends because I can't deal otherwise. I know. I fail at suspense.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing and I also love mysteries. Amazing pick. Thanks for sharing & for stopping by my post, Rachel. Happy Wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer @ Dream Reads

ReplyDeleteI keep seeing this one everywhere and I might give it a try when it comes out. It sounds interesting but I'd have to read some reviews first. I hope you like it though, when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteCome check out my WOW post.
This sounds really interesting, but when it popped up on NetGalley a while back I wasn't really interested, so I'll wait for you thoughts on this book before I read.
