Waiting On Wednesday [33]

WAITING ON WEDNESDAY is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week, I can’t wait for a totally awesome assassin-like book.

 
uninvitedUnvited
Author: Sophie Jordan
Series: None
Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Fantasy, Dystopia
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: January 28, 2014
Summary:

When Davy Hamilton’s tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS) – aka the kill gene – she loses everything. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. Davy doesn’t feel any different, but genes don’t lie. One day she will kill someone.
Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy wants to trust him; maybe he’s not as dangerous as he seems. Or maybe Davy is just as deadly.
The first in a two-book series, Uninvited tackles intriguing questions about free will, identity, and human nature. Steeped in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s trademark mix of gripping action and breathless romance, this suspenseful tale is perfect for fans of James Patterson, Michelle Hodkin, and Lisa McMann.

 
-gasp- Uninvited is a two book series? Am I reading wrong? (I’m sure you guys know what I mean.) :P

Also, a book focused on a potential killer? Sign me up! (I’m sadly into these kind of books.)

And isn’t the cover amazing? I love how they incorporated DNA into the cover model’s blond hair. Totally unique and creative.

What book are you looking forward to reading this week?

    Whoa. I didn’t even notice the DNA in the hair until you mentioned it. That’s just how unobservant I am. I will definitely be adding this to my TBR pile. Thanks for sharing! :)

    I never noticed the DNA either until you pointed it out! It makes the cover so much prettier and more unique :)
    Great pick!

    Agree on all fronts – amazing cover, awesome concept! Also, it says that fans of Michelle Hodkins’ books might like it and I love her Mara Dyer series. Excellent pick, Kelly :)
