Waiting On Wednesday #16




This is a weekly book meme, hosted by
which features future releases that we book bloggers
are eagerly anticipating!



Here's my pick for this week!!







Shattered Souls
Mary Lindsey
Hardcover, 336 pages
Philomel (Penguin Young Readers Group)
Expected Publication Date: Dec. 8, 2011
Genres: Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy


From the Goodreads Synopsis


Lenzi hears voices and has visions - gravestones, floods, a boy with steel gray eyes. Her boyfriend, Zak, can't help, and everything keeps getting louder and more intense. Then Lenzi meets Alden, the boy from her dreams, who reveals that she's a reincarnated Speaker - someone who can talk to and help lost souls - and that he has been her Protector for centuries.

Now Lenzi must choose between her life with Zak and the life she is destined to lead with Alden. But time is running out: a malevolent spirit is out to destroy Lenzi, and he will kill her if she doesn't make a decision soon....



Some people out there might groan, muttering
"Not another love triangle!"
True, there's a love triangle in this novel,
and those of us who love the young adult genre know
that love triangles seem to be ubiquitous
in this particular literary category...
But still.
This plot sounds very, very interesting,
nevertheless!
Besides, the novel has several five-star reviews
on Goodreads, so I'm willing to go for it!!

Besides again, I'm absolutely enthralled by the cover!

So....

I crave this book for my already bulging shelves!! 
Well, it won't be long now...

Thank the good Lord for that!!



What wonderful, exciting, scintillating,
wildly romantic,
and altogether fascinating books
are you all waiting for this Wednesday?

    I actually considered this one for my WOW post today too. I can handle a love triangle if the plot is strong enough and the romance isn't the main focus. Like you, I've heard nothing but good things about Shattered Souls so I'm really looking forward to reading it! Find out what I'm waiting on here
