Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that I am eagerly anticipating.
This week's Waiting on Wednesday pick is: Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
Publication Date: January 4, 2011
Synopsis:
In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees. . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what it is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place--and out of place, at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make--between honesty and deciet, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Doesn't this book sound amazing? Plus, the cover is gorgeous!

Swords are for fighting,

ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Elizabeth! I'm dying to read this one :)
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW pick! Unearthly sounds excellent! Sounds like exactly the type of love triangle that works for me, one that represents two very different paths the main character must choose between. :)
