Waiting on Wednesday

Button from Bewitched Bookworms

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases  that we, book bloggers, can't wait to read.


This book I’m waiting on:

Ripple

Mandy Hubbard

July 21st, 2011

Razorbill/Penguin

300 pgs.

From Goodreads:


Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn’t, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love—again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead.

Then Lexi meets Cole. Against her better judgment, she finds herself opening up again, falling in love when she knows she shouldn’t. But when she’s offered the chance to finally live a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free of her curse is giving him up.

In Ripple, Mandy Hubbard spins a sea-ravaged tale of melancholy beauty, and the choices one girl makes between land and waves, love and freedom, her future—and her heart.


Why I want to read this:


Firstly, I’m into Sirens right now. Powerful women who can bring men to their death’s but choose not to. Struggle not to.


Secondly, that cover. It’s amazing.


Thirdly, choosing between the man she loves or possibly killing the man she loves with a power. She already knows the pain of killing the man she loves with a power she can’t truly control.

Please leave a link to yours, so I can check it out!
