Waiting on Wednesday #63

Photobucket
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.

My pick this week is:

#1



Title: Impostor
Series: Variants, Book 1
Genre: sci-fi & fantasy
Audience:  YA
Author: Susanne Winnacker
Release date: January 2nd, 2014
Publisher:  Hachette Children's Books

Summary:

X-Men meets Veronica Mars in this thrilling first book in the VARIANTS series
Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family, she's spent the last two years with the Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. There she trains with other Variants, such as long-term crush Alec, who each have their own extraordinary ability.
When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again. Tessa hates everything about being an impostor - the stress, the danger, the deceit - but loves playing the role of a normal girl. As Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she'd do anything to keep.
Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this super-human comes to a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look like anyone struggles the most with being herself.

'Fun and suspenseful' Marissa Meyer, New York Times bestselling author of CINDER

 Why I want to read it:

The summary got me spinning. And just look at the covers! Aren't they gorgeous???

#2


Title: Anything to Have You
Series: single
Genre: contemporary romance
Audience:  YA
Author: Paige Harbison
Release date: January 28th, 2014
Publisher:  Harlequin Teen

Summary:

Nothing should come between best friends, not even boys. ESPECIALLY not boys.

Natalie and Brooke have had each other's backs forever. Natalie is the quiet one, college bound and happy to stay home and watch old movies. Brooke is the movie—the life of every party, the girl everyone wants to be.

Then it happens—one crazy night that Natalie can't remember and Brooke's boyfriend, Aiden, can't forget. Suddenly there's a question mark in Natalie and Brooke's friendship that tests everything they thought they knew about each other and has both girls discovering what true friendship really means.

  Why I want to read it:

WOW! I sniff drama! Lots and lots of it!!! Yumm!!

So how about you? What amazing book are you waiting on this week?
