Waiting on Wednesday – 1/19/11

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week’s choice is:

Title: Ripple
Author: Mandy Hubbard
Publisher: Razorbill/Penguin
Publish Date: July 21, 2011
Pages: 300
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Summary: Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn’t, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love—again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead.

Then Lexi meets Cole. Against her better judgment, she finds herself opening up again, falling in love when she knows she shouldn’t. But when she’s offered the chance to finally live a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free of her curse is giving him up.

I did not realize that my earlier WoW pick was NOT a YA novel. Sorry about that guys! Ripple is a siren story with a beautiful cover. I have not read a lot of siren books so I am looking forward to this one.
