"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.
This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and, quite possibly, to make our shelves look all pretty too :)
This week, I am waiting on...
by Ruth Frances Long
Release date: August 16th, 2012
SUMMARY
A darkly compelling mix of romance, fairy tale, and suspense
from a new voice in teen fiction
The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it.
The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it.
Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. Instead, she's lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat.
Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own.
Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack's help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils,
and she's faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice - and not just her own.
Why I'm waiting on... The Treachery of Beautiful Things?
First of all, I am drooling over this stunning cover! I love when a bookcover ties in so perfectly with the summary - it's extra brownie points for what's to come once I read it!
Why do these trees swallow her brother? Actually, HOW do these trees swallow her brother???
I'm hoping thinking that there are faeries running about in these woods...
What do you think?
SO, what are you waiting on this week???
Can't wait to see what I'll be adding to my list ;)
Great choice! I'm so excited for this book too. It sounds so good and the cover is so gorgeous! I'm definitely curious about the trees swallowing her brother too.

This one looks so beautiful and I am looking forward seeing the first reviews from this one!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds so good and I love the cover! The cover kind of reminds me of Entwined though. I agree-I really appreciate it when the cover actually has to do with the story! It kind of bothers me when it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. :)

Great pick! I've been lusting over this cover FOREVER, it seems! I thought the book had already been released ... I might have to buy a copy just so it can look pretty on my shelves. :)
ReplyDeleteI already saw someone else pick this book for her Wow, but I'm still not sure if I want to read it. The cover is beautiful and the blurb sounds great, but I'm not really convinced. Don't ask me why :D
