Waiting On Wednesday (29)

Whisper Falls

by Elizabeth Langston

November 2013

~ Spencer Hill Press ~

While training for a mountain bike race, high-school senior Mark Lewis spots a mysterious girl dressed in odd clothing, standing behind a waterfall in the woods near his North Carolina home. When she comments on the strange machine that he rides, he suspects something isn’t right. When Susanna claims to be an indentured servant from 1796, he wonders if she's crazy. Yet he feels compelled to find out more.

Mark enters a ‘long-distance’ relationship with Susanna through the shimmering--and temperamental--barrier of Whisper Falls. Curious about her world, Mark combs through history to learn about the brutal life she's trapped in. But knowledge can be dangerous. Soon he must choose between the risk of changing history or dooming the girl he can't stop thinking about to a lifetime of misery.

You guys know I'm not really a big fan of historical novels (I tend to run away from them), but I really want this book NOW. It may be just me but I think it's really unique and different to all the others out there. And I love this whole idea of the Whisper Falls. The only bad thing about this is that it won't be out until November 2013, but lucky for me, I'm on the arc list :D *happy dance*

Cover Thoughts: 
I absolutely love this cover. It's genius. It's so eye-catching and makes you want to know more about the book. And after reading the summary, the cover is relevant and fits in the book (unlike some YA books out there). I love that they showed the contrast between the girl and the guy. :D Gotta say, I can't wait to actually hold this book, I bet it will look so gorgeous!!

So what are YOU waiting for this week?
