"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's WoW selection is...
When Micah disappears from home, his sister Rachel decides to secretly take matters into her own hands. Armed with Micah's best friend Tyler, she travels from the hazy, lazy suburbs of Southern California to the seedy side of San Diego's beach communities following the clues that Micah left behind. As each lead arrives at a dead end, she is left to piece together the puzzle that is her brother's life. And the sketchy characters Rachel and Tyler encounter make Rachel wonder if she can reach Micah before it’s too late. ~From GoodReads
Why I'm Waiting ~ For starters, I love the cover. The starkness. The despair. I love books in which characters must unravel clues. I hope OUT OF REACH is as good as I hope it will be.
Expected publication: October 16th 2012 by Simon Pulse

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this book, but it sounds fantastic! I love the idea of a trail/hunt to get to her brother, and the cover is stunning: simple but evocative. I also love that it's set in San Diego, since that's where I live :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, definitely adding to my TBR!

I like mysteries too. Very curious about what happened to Rachel's brother. I'm sure it will be a long crazy journey with twists as she tries to find him.

I like how the synopsis doesn't over-tease us. It talks about Micah being missing and how it's "not" a good thing but it doesn't let on to the circumstances as to why he left. For all we know he could have been kidnapped, ran away, left for other reasons etc. So many possibilities... argh! *Stops book rant* Ha ha. Thanks for sharing this book. I think it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this one yet, but it sounds great. Looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Ellen @ Always YA at Heart
The cover is really cool!

Wow....that sounds like an awesome book. For realz. I'll have to look out for this one. I like the cover too. Very....alone but captivating. Very nice choice twinsie!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, was he kidnapped and he left all these little clues to help someone find him? Or did he take off and she's looking for clues to find out where he left to? I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to add this to my list, I've been trying to expand my horizons and read more contemporaries. Good pick! :D
ReplyDeleteA great cover and pick.
