Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. This week I picked:
Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas
Expected publication: July 16th 2013 by Simon Pulse
Paradise quickly gets gruesome in this thrilling page-turner with a plot that’s ripped from the headlines and a twist that defies the imagination.
It’s Spring Break of senior year. Anna, her boyfriend Tate, her best friend Elise, and a few other close friends are off to a debaucherous trip to Aruba that promises to be the time of their lives.
But when Elise is found brutally murdered, Anna finds herself trapped in a country not her own, fighting against vile and contemptuous accusations. As Anna sets out to find her friend’s killer, she discovers harsh revelations about her friendships, the slippery nature of truth, and the ache of young love.
Awaiting the judge’s decree, it becomes clear to Anna that everyone around her thinks she is not only guilty, but also dangerous. And when the whole story comes out, reality is more shocking than anyone ever imagined…
Imperfect Spiral by Debbie Levy
Expected publication: July 16th 2013 by Walker Childrens
Danielle Snyder’s summer job as a babysitter takes a tragic turn when Humphrey, the five-year-old boy she’s watching, runs in front of oncoming traffic to chase down his football. Immediately Danielle is caught up in the machinery of tragedy: police investigations, neighborhood squabbling, and, when the driver of the car that struck Humphrey turns out to be an undocumented alien, outsiders use the accident to further a politically charged immigration debate. Wanting only to mourn Humphrey, the sweet kid she had a surprisingly strong friendship with, Danielle tries to avoid the world around her. Through a new relationship with Justin, a boy she meets at the park, she begins to work through her grief, but as details of the accident emerge, much is not as it seems. It’s time for Danielle to face reality, but when the truth brings so much pain, can she find a way to do right by Humphrey’s memory and forgive herself for his death?
Oh you should visit Paperback Heart – she’s doing a giveaway of Dangerous Girls! Cool picks. 🙂
Imperfect Spiral looks interesting.
Here is my first WOW on romance novels blog – Way Too Hot Books
I’ve seen Dangerous Girl before and think it sounds like it could be a good r4ead. I hope you enjoy it! Imperfect Spiral doesn’t sound too much like my kind of read. I have a rather odd thing with books about grief.
My WoW
Oh, these both look sooo good, especially Imperfect Spiral. Thanks for sharing…and here’s MY WOW POST
I just read a review for Imperfect Spiral a couple of days ago and the reader loved it! It sounds like an emotional and intense read.
