Waiting on Wednesday - Blackbird by Anna Carey and Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre


Hi everyone!! thank-you so much for stopping by today.

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I couldn’t make up my mind this week so I have chosen two books – Blackbird by Anna Carey and Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre

Blackbird (Blackbird Duology, #1)
Author: Anna Carey
Series:  Blackbird duology
Genre: Young adult
Amazon pre-order
Publisher: Harper Teen
Release date: 16th September 2014

Synopsis. (Goodreads)

This twisty, breathless cat-and-mouse thrill ride, told in the second person, follows a girl with amnesia in present-day Los Angeles who is being pursued by mysterious and terrifying assailants.

A girl wakes up on the train tracks, a subway car barreling down on her. With only minutes to react, she hunches down and the train speeds over her. She doesn’t remember her name, where she is, or how she got there. She has a tattoo on the inside of her right wrist of a blackbird inside a box, letters and numbers printed just below: FNV02198. There is only one thing she knows for sure: people are trying to kill her. 

On the run for her life, she tries to untangle who she is and what happened to the girl she used to be. Nothing and no one are what they appear to be. But the truth is more disturbing than she ever imagined. 

The Maze Runner series meets Code Name Verity, Blackbird is relentless and action-packed, filled with surprising twists.

Mortal Danger (Immortal Game, #1)
Author: Ann Aguirre
Series:  Immortal Game
Genre: Young adult
Amazon pre-order
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Release date: 5th August 2014

Synopsis. (Goodreads)

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn't imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She's not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he's impossible to forget.

In one short summer, her entire life changes, and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly... bad things are happening. It's a heady rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows. In this murky morass of devil's bargains, she isn't sure who—or what--she can trust. Not even her own mind..

What are most anticipating this week?

  10. OOH YES YES FOR BOTH OF THESE! I don't think I've seen the cover for Blackbird either! It's pretty awesome. I loved Anne Aguirre's Razorland trilogy, so I'll read anything of hers now, and I like the sound of Mortal Danger. And that cover is so awesome! Great picks! :)
