Waiting on Wednesday (52)





"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that showcases upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating!





This week I'm waiting on two awesome-looking May debuts!


Wrecked by Anna Davies
Publication date: May 1, 2012

Synopsis:
Secrets of the sea have never been sexier than this. Ever since the death of her parents, Miranda has lived on Whym Island, taking comfort in the local folklore, which claims a mysterious sea witch controls the fate of all on the island and in its surrounding waters. Sometimes it’s just easier to believe things are out of your control.

But then a terrible boating accident takes the lives of several of her friends, and Miranda is rescued by a mysterious boy who haunts her dreams. Consumed by guilt from the accident, she finds refuge in late-night swims—and meets Christian, a boy who seems eerily familiar, but who is full of mystery: He won’t tell her where he is from, or why they can only meet at the beach. But Miranda falls for him anyway... and discovers that Christian’s secrets, though meant to protect her, may bring her nothing but harm.

Seductive and compelling, Wrecked brings a contemporary, paranormal twist to a classic enchanting tale.


Why I want it: I still have yet to read any mermaid books, and this one looks fantastic. That cover is gorgeous, too. Also, Anna is a 2012 Debut Author!

Slated by Teri Terry
Publication date: May 3, 2012

Synopsis:
Kyla's memory has been erased, her personality wiped blank, her memories lost forever.

She's been Slated.

The government claims she was a terrorist, and that they are giving her a second chance - as long as she plays by their rules. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla's mind. Someone is lying to her, and nothing is as it seems. Who can she trust in her search for the truth?


Why I want it: I just discovered this a week or so ago. It sounds like a different twist on the dystopian genre. I'm really interested to find out if she actually was a terrorist! And Teri is also a 2012 Debut Author!

What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?
