Waiting on Wednesday (7)


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, where we book bloggers talk about upcoming releases we are excited for.

So, my pick for this week shall be:

The Darkest Minds 
By: Alexandra Bracken
Publication date: December 18, 2012


The Darkest MindsWhen Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something frightening enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have been cursed with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.
Now sixteen, Ruby has spent nearly half her life desperately trying to hide the fact that she’s outwitted the camp’s sorting system—that she isn’t powerless, or safe. She’s one of the dangerous ones… and everyone knows what happens to them.
When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of teens who escaped their own camp, pursued along the way by terrifying bounty hunters. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close to him. Not after what happened to her parents.
When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Before the end, Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.
This book just, you know, sounds good. I love the title and the cover, and I really wanna know what happened to Ruby's parents that scared her so bad! I like the whole "disease that wiped out a lot of people, but this chick survived" thing. It's fun. Sooooo yeah. That's what I am waiting on this week.

What about you guys? What are y'all excited for right now? I'll check out your posts if you guys leave me links!

  1. Super awesome pick! I've been dying to read this one for a while too - good thing we have other books in the meantime to keep us busy! :) It almost reminds me of V for Vendetta in a way - the whole past behind the story anyways.
