Waiting on Wednesday (16)

Waiting on Wednesday is a fun way to let bloggers spotlight upcoming books. This awesome meme is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. This week I am waiting on Hourglass by Myra McEntire. The summary is really interesting and thankfully it comes out in just under 3 weeks!


Goodreads Summary:

For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.
So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.
Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?

Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.

What are you waiting on?

  13. The cover is really unique and pretty but not over the top which I like. The synopsis sounds great, so I'll most definitely be reading this one! :)
