Waiting on Wednesday (130): Shadowlands by Kate Brian

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

Shadowlands
Author: Kate Brian
Publisher: Hyperion Book CH
Publish Date: January 8, 2013

Amazon / Kindle / Goodreads / The Book Depository

Publisher's Description
Rory Miller had one chance to fight back and she took it. Rory survived … and the serial killer who attacked her escaped. Now that the infamous Steven Nell is on the loose, Rory must enter the witness protection with her father and sister, Darcy, leaving their friends and family without so much as a goodbye.

Starting over in a new town with only each other is unimaginable for Rory and Darcy. They were inseparable as children, but now they can barely stand each other. As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they’re starting to feel safe again, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it a coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?

*Why I want to read this: A serial killer story, yes please. This sounds like it could be an intriguing mystery/thriller. - Jessica

Jake the Dreaming
Author: Adam Freeman, March Bernardin
Illustrator: Andrew Jones
Publisher: Radical Publishing
Publish Date: January 8, 2013

Amazon / Goodreads / The Book Depository

Publisher's Description
Ten-year-old Jake is a chronic daydreamer. Constantly drifting off in class, at home, and even during Little League, Jake has become the outcast of the 4th grade. That is, until the night he dreams he saves the neighbor''s kid from a monster and, the next day, the little boy actually thanks him. Jake soon learns he is this generation''s "Dreaming" - the chosen one who can enter people''s dreams and save their souls from the evil creature known only as Nocturnus.

*Why I want to read this: There was a comic preview of this book on Free Comic Book Day in 2011, unfortunately I didn't see it at any of the comic stores I went to that day. The story is supposed to be written in prose and while it is written for kids, I think the storyline sounds fantastic. - Jessica

Waiting on Wednesday (128): Teeth by Hannah Moskowitz

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

Teeth
Author: Hannah Moskowitz
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publish Date: January 1, 2013

Amazon / Kindle / Goodreads / The Book Depository

Publisher's Description
A gritty, romantic modern fairy tale from the author of Break and Gone, Gone, Gone.

Be careful what you believe in.

Rudy’s life is flipped upside-down when his family moves to a remote island in a last attempt to save his sick younger brother. With nothing to do but worry, Rudy sinks deeper and deeper into loneliness and lies awake at night listening to the screams of the ocean beneath his family’s rickety house.

Then he meets Diana, who makes him wonder what he even knows about love, and Teeth, who makes him question what he knows about anything. Rudy can’t remember the last time he felt so connected to someone, but being friends with Teeth is more than a little bit complicated. He soon learns that Teeth has terrible secrets. Violent secrets. Secrets that will force Rudy to choose between his own happiness and his brother’s life.

*Why I want to read this: With the violent secrets that Teeth harbors and the story of Rudy and his brother - my interest is piqued. I haven't read any of Hannah Moskowitz's books before, but have heard great things about her writing.
