Waiting on Wednesday (49)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature that highlights books that I am anxiously awaiting. WoW is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.


Undercurrent
by Paul E. Blackwell
to be published July 23rd 2013 by HarperTeen
A shadowy figure. An intense roar. The sensation of falling—fast.

That’s all Callum Harris remembers from his tumble over the waterfall. But when he wakes up in a hospital bed and finds his best friend trying to kill him, Callum knows something is seriously wrong. Unfortunately for him, the mysteries are just getting started.

Why are his parents acting like he’s some big sports star all of a sudden? And why are all the buildings in town more run-down than Callum remembers? Worst of all...what happened to Callum’s brother? Either Callum has gone seriously crazy or something happened when he went over the falls. Something impossible. Callum needs answers, and now. Because in this twisted new version of the life Callum knew, his former best friend isn’t the only one who wants to see him dead.

Filled with mind-bending suspense and unsettling thrills, Undercurrent is a grippingly paced teen debut that will pull you under and never let go.
Ok so A) I am continuing my theme of loving books where people wake up and have to find out what the eff is going on and B) I love books with guys on the cover. Seriously give me a guy over a pretty girl anyday. He looks pret-ty intense!

So what are YOU waiting on this week?

    Oh this sounds really interesting, and I'd love to read something by a male author and from a male perspective! Going to add this to my TBR lists :D

    Thanks for sharing,

    Undercurrent sounds like an awesome read. To be in an alternate reality and not know what's going on sounds like my kind of story! I love stories that are unpredictable, and filled with suspense. Excellent WOW pick.

    Here's my WOW:

    It seems interesting, in a way that I want someone to tell me what happened, not in a way that makes me want to read the book.. Anyway, that's just my opinion (since I dont really read thrillers, mysteries and stuff), so happy reading! :D

    The one thing I love about your WOW's is that normally I haven't heard of the book before! That's always a good thing, gives me pause to add it to my TBR pile! Thanks for sharing. Please stop by mine as well!

    I like books about memory loss! It's so fascinating to find out what is going on together with the MC.

    Oooh that guy kind of looks like a young Tom Hardy...or is it just me?! Something in the eyes.. ♥ Anyways this seems like it could be really amazing. It's not a book I would have been drawn to initially but I am curious now! Thanks for spotlighting it and bringing it to my attention :) Great pick!

    Ha, I usually hate books with dudes on the cover, because they're usually not my type at all and just look ridic. I do like this one though. :)

    This sounds interesting! And I love that cover, though it's a little reminiscent of the cover for The Murmerings, but with a dude on the cover. Still ... I like stories like this, too, where people wake up and have to remember what happened. They're always fun to read!

    Thanks for sharing!

    It's a male protagonist which pretty much means this is a must read for me. I'm really excited for this one. Great pick, Jenni!
