Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock

Goodreads Synopsis: Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.
Since then, Mac’s life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac’s hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy’s killer: A white werewolf.
Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.
Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy’s murder herself.

Waiting on Wednesday #6

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week's title being featured here is:

Velveteen by Daniel Marks

Goodreads Synopsis: "Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem. 

The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind.

Bonesaw.

Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome. But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker. Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her."

 Expected publication: October 9th 2012 by Random House Children's Books

Destined by Aprilynne Pike (Wings #4)

LOOK AT THAT COVER!

Ok, so I can't give a synopsis for the sake of spoilers; but if you click the picture it will take you to the Goodreads page where one is available for you to read! I love the wings series, and I can't wait to read the last book, Destined. Wings was the first faerie book I read, so it holds a little sentimental value for me!

Let me know what book(s) you are waiting on!

Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

 

"He spun and broke into a run, plunging swiftly into the woods. He pounded his rage into the earth but slowed after a few miles. He wanted to leave her, but he couldn't."

                      I know the rules say to use only 2 sentences, but I chose to use 3. I don't think it is a big deal. I think this is such a fun meme. If you have a Teaser Tuesday on your blog, leave a link and I will check it out!
