Waiting On Wednesday [@TaraGoedjen @DelacortePress]

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine

My pick for this week:


THE BREATHLESS by Tara Goedjen

No one knows what really happened on the beach where Roxanne Cole’s body was found, but her boyfriend, Cage, took off that night and hasn’t been seen since. Until now. One year—almost to the day—from Ro’s death, when he knocks on the door of Blue Gate Manor and asks where she is.

Cage has no memory of the past twelve months. According to him, Ro was alive only the day before. Ro’s sister Mae wouldn’t believe him, except that something’s not right. Nothing’s been right in the house since Ro died.

And then Mae finds the little green book. The one hidden in Ro’s room. It’s filled with secrets—dangerous secrets—about her family, and about Ro. And if what it says is true, then maybe, just maybe, Ro isn’t lost forever.

And maybe there are secrets better left to the dead.

Why?

I love that cover - the house, the trees, the shadows, the water - so much. I also really like books with characters who have memory problems/something weird with their memories, it makes things intriguing and (usually) mysterious and suspenseful. Adding in that the house has a name (all the best ones do, right?), that there's the question of magic, of life and death and I am really excited for this one.

Plus, it comes out in October and that is a great month for spooky, creepy, mysterious books of all sorts!



That's my pick for this week, what's yours? Tell me in the comments and/or link me to your own post!
