Waiting on Wednesday

This meme is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and lets you know which books we can't wait to be published. And this week I want to talk about Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.

Yesterday, I was given an arc of this book, and was told, "doesn't matter what you're reading, or how good it is, read this because it's that good. I stayed up all night to finish it." And, I admit, I was dubious because I like the book I'm reading at the moment. And the arc had no copy on the back, gave nothing away. But a good recommendation is a good recommendation so I started it. And OMG, she was right! It is amazing, compulsive, addicting, almost impossible to put down. This is one to pine for!

I'll review it later this week but here's the back cover copy to whet your appetite.

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along.

With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Add this to your list. Move it to the top of your TBR pile if you have a copy. Take my word for it. It's that good.

Ooh! So here's the deal...in July I am giving myself permission to read anything I want. I am going to start with Catching Fire and follow it up with Hush, Hush. Very excited!!

Lenore - those are the two books I've just read and both are wonderful. Read each of them in under two days. Hard to know where to go now. Suggestions?

Becca Fitzpatrick said...

Wow. WOW! I'm so glad you enjoyed HUSH, HUSH! Thanks for the WoWing love and I'll be looking forward to your review :)

Becca, thanks for stopping by. I loved the book. Most of the book store staff are clamoring to read it too. I'm sure it will be a huge hit. Congratulations! And you won the cover jackpot - what a fabulous cover. It's perfect.

I'm looking forward to this book too. I'm hoping an ARC will appear magically in my mailbox. :)
