Waiting on Wednesday #20

June 6th, 2012 Vicky

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

My pick for this week:

Cover of Peanut by Ayun HallidayBurning Blue by Paul Griffin
ISBN: 9780803738157
Format: Hardback
Length: 288 pages
Publication date: October 22nd, 2012
Publisher: Dial
Add it to your Goodreads wishlist

When Nicole Castro, the most beautiful girl in her wealthy New Jersey high school, is splashed with acid on the left side of her perfect face, the whole world takes notice. But quiet loner Jay Nazarro does more than that—he decides to find out who did it. Jay understands how it feels to be treated like a freak, and he also has a secret: He’s a brilliant hacker. But the deeper he digs, the more danger he’s in—and the more he falls for Nicole. Too bad everyone is turning into a suspect, including Nicole herself.

Why I can’t wait: I just LOVE bittersweet but still optimistic stories. Nicole reminded me of Katie Piper whose story (I think) is truly amazing. Burning Blue sounds quite mysterious and you know how much I adore mystery. OCTOBER, PLEASE HURRY UPPPPP.

What are you waiting on this week? Make sure to leave me a comment with a link to your own post above so that I can visit you back :)

    Wow, this is an awesome pick; sounds a very unexplored territory. It’s like the best of the both worlds: an acid victim and a hacker.

    The Surgeon by Tess GerritsenIn Boston, there's a killer on the loose. A killer who targets lone women, who breaks into their apartments and performs terrifying ritualistic acts of torture on them before finishing them off. His surgical skills lead police to suspect he is a physician - a physician who, instead of saving lives, takes them.

    But as homicide detective Thomas Moore and his partner Jane Rizzoli begin their investigation, they make a startling discovery. Closely linked to these killings is Catherine Cordell, a beautiful medic with a mysterious past. Two years ago she was subjected to a horrifying rape and attempted murder but she shot her attacker dead. Now she is being targeted by the new killer who seems to know all about her past, her work, and where she lives.

    The man she believes she killed seems to be stalking her once again, and this time he knows exactly where to find her...
