"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: The Vanishing Season
Author: Jodi Lynn Anderson
Series: Standalone
Publisher: HaperTeen
Release: July 1st 2014
Girls started vanishing in the fall, and now winter's come to lay a white sheet over the horror. Door County, it seems, is swallowing the young, right into its very dirt. From beneath the house on Water Street, I've watched the danger swell.
The residents know me as the noises in the house at night, the creaking on the stairs. I'm the reflection behind them in the glass, the feeling of fear in the cellar. I'm tied—it seems—to this house, this street, this town.
I'm tied to Maggie and Pauline, though I don't know why. I think it's because death is coming for one of them, or both.
All I know is that the present and the past are piling up, and I am here to dig. I am looking for the things that are buried.
From bestselling author Jodi Lynn Anderson comes a friendship story bound in snow and starlight, a haunting mystery of love, betrayal, redemption, and the moments that we leave behind.
Ever since Tiger Lily, I have been hopelessly in love with Jodi Lynn Anderson's beautiful and lyrical writing. I savored every single line in that book and I will never get tired of re-reading it. When I found out that she has another book coming out soon, "jubilant" can not even begin to describe my happiness. The Vanishing Season, full with mystery and intrigue, captured my interest almost instantly. I only wish July can come sooner, perhaps right after April ;)
What are you waiting on today?
YES ANGEL!!! I'm definitely waiting on this one too:) I haven't read anything by Jodi, but she's an author I've been wanting to try for a long time. July's not so far away right? *sobs*
ReplyDeleteI know :(((( I wish it was sooner! waiting is not fun at all. Jodi Lynn Anderson's writing is just...so emotional. I don't know how to describe it, but every time I read her lines, I just feel my heart breaking. You have to read her books!
DeleteWoah I had no idea she had a new book!!! I absolutely adored Tiger Lily as well :)
ReplyDeleteI know right? I saw a review of it recently and I was like whatttt?
DeleteI didn't love Tiger Lily, but I liked her writing, so I'm definitely curious about this!
ReplyDeleteAwww that's a bummer :/ I hope this one will be more enjoyable for you!
DeleteSounds really good and I love this cover!
ReplyDeleteMissie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Me too! I feel like the font doesn't quite fit well with the theme of this story, but I love it regardless :D
DeleteI share all the feelings expressed in this post. Tiger Lily was amazing, and I need more of Jodi Lynn Anderson's lyrical and lush writing. Plus this one's blurb is so wonderfully enigmatic! *drops everything to read book*
ReplyDeletehahaha I know how you feel Emily!! I just wish this book can come out faster gurrrrr!!!
DeleteI didn't like this one quite as much as I liked Tiger Lily, but it was still AMAZING! (3.5 stars from me!) I mean, Tiger Lily is one of my favorite books of all time, so that's kind of hard to top...haha! But let me know if you end up getting a copy of this! Excited to hear what you think!
ReplyDelete~ Zoe @ The Infinite To-Read Shelf
P.S. If you're a fan of Jodi's writing, this is definitely a book where she showcases her talent, so I have a feeling you're going to like it! :D
Haha, so I found out this book through your review actually. I was like omg I love Tiger Lily, therefore I must have this one too!! I'm glad you enjoyed it somewhat, can't wait for its release :)
DeleteHey Angel! I haven't heard from you in a while, so just wanted to check in and make sure everything's going okay for you! <3
DeleteGreat WOW post Angel! This actually sounds SUPER close to another book called 17 & Gone by Nova Ren Suma, I wonder how it will turn out.
ReplyDeleteJeann @ Happy Indulgence
Oooo I will have to check that one out too!
DeleteAs soon as I saw the author TIGER LILY came into my mind, too! Loved that book. She's amazing at creating new ideas and unique plots so I really hope this one is good!
ReplyDeleteI know! Tiger Lily really made her one of my favorite authors. I'm pretty sure I will buy anything she writes :P
DeleteI have an ARC of this one and am so excited to pick it up closer to the release date. It seems so intriguing and the cover is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteAlso: I am SO EXCITED you're reading Under the Never Sky and Daughter of the Forest! Both are some of my favorite books, so I hope you LOVE them! :)
Oh my god, you are so lucky!! Under the Never Sky is pretty interesting. I think I like to be in Perry's head a lot more than Aria's. He is awesome!
DeleteI've never been quite interesting in reading this one for some reason. Part of it may be that I've never read any of the author's books before. I really hope you end up loving this one. :) Thank you for visiting my WoW post earlier this week!
ReplyDeleteKaitlin, you HAVE to read Tiger Lily. It might be a bit slow in the beginning, but it truly is a beautiful story. Beautiful plot and beautifully-written as well!
