Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking The Spine where bloggers talk about books they're excited to read.
I have been looking forward to Meg Cabot's new book Abandon
for a long time. It's a modern retelling of my favorite myth Persephone. From Meg's Website:The Myth of Persephone, Darkly Reimagined
— Book One: Abandon —
She knows what it's like to die. Now Death wants her back.
Seventeen-year-old Pierce knows what happens to us when we die.
That's how she met John Hayden, the mysterious stranger who's made returning to normal life—or at least life as Pierce knew it before the accident—next to impossible.
Though she thought she escaped him—starting a new school in a whole new place—it turns out she was wrong. He finds her.
What does John want from her? Pierce thinks she knows... just like she knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven. But she can't stay away from him, either, especially since he's always there when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.
But if she lets herself fall any further, she might find herself back in the place she fears the most.
And when Pierce discovers the shocking truth, that’s exactly where John sweeps her:
It will be released on April 26, 2011.
