"Waiting" on Wednesday - The Murder Complex


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



 This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings 



Expected Publication:  June 10th 2014
Publisher: Greenwillow – Harper Collins
Format: Hardcover (400 pages)
Series: The Murder Complex #1
Genre: Science FictionDystopia, Thriller, Mystery, Romance
ISBN13: 9780062220004

Synopsis

An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna.

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?

Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.
This book sounds really interesting and different. I also haven’t read much Thriller or anything like that, but this book really pulls me.  I also haven’t read anything about assassins and all that kind of stuff. So I think this will be a very new read for me as well.  


This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?

One moment. One foolish desire. One mistake. And Corinthe lost everything.
She fell from her tranquil life in Pyralis Terra and found herself exiled to the human world. Her punishment? To make sure people's fates unfold according to plan. Now, years later, Corinthe has one last assignment: kill Lucas Kaller. His death will be her ticket home.
But for the first time, Corinthe feels a tingle of doubt. It begins as a lump in her throat, then grows toward her heart, and suddenly she feels like she is falling all over again--this time for a boy she knows she can never have. Because it is written: one of them must live, and one of them must die. In a universe where every moment, every second, every fate has already been decided, where does love fit in?

This book sounds really interesting and different from what I have read. I love fantasy so I really home I enjoy this book. The cover is gorgeous as well. I really hope I enjoy this when it's time to read it.

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?

"Waiting" on Wednesday - Pawn




"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

 This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is Pawn by Aimee Carter  


  
Expected Publication:  November 26th 2013
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Format: Hardcover (352 Pages) 
Series: The Blackcoat Rebellion #1
Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopia
ISBN13: 9780373210558

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country. 
If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked - surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter. 
There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed, and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

This books sounds amazing. It sounds like it will be action filled which I love. I have never read a book by Aimee Carter but I have wanted to, so I think I will start with this. I also really like the cover; simple but yet very detailed. Thankfully we don’t have long to wait before it hits the stores.

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you?

In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . . 

But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever. 

Pulses will race throughout this thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe

Well what can I say. I am ecstatic for this book. I adore Richelle Mead, I adore The Vampire Academy Series and I am loving the Bloodlines series so far. I cannot wait to get my hand on The Fiery Heart. I know that this book will give me alot of feels and from the photos were are getting from Pengiun Teen Australia's whom are filming the book trailer, I say i think i will go crazy. And I know from Richelle's writing I have no idea what to expect. 

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek’s counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else’s family drama.
Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certain--people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derek—someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?


I just love Simone Elkeles and I just cannot wait to read more from her. I love the badboy novels so this is down my alley. I am also liking the Sports novels, as well, they just seem to give a different diamagnetic to a novel.
