Waiting on Wednesday: Blood and Salt


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we cannot wait to get our hands on.

 I am waiting on:
Blood and Salt
Title: Blood and Salt
Author:  Kim Liggett
Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons
Publication Date: September 22, 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Horror, 
Romeo and Juliet meets Children of the Corn in this one-of-a-kind romantic horror.
“When you fall in love, you will carve out your heart and throw it into the deepest ocean. You will be all in—blood and salt.”
These are the last words Ash Larkin hears before her mother returns to the spiritual commune she escaped long ago. But when Ash follows her to Quivira, Kansas, something sinister and ancient waits among the rustling cornstalks of this village lost to time.
Ash is plagued by memories of her ancestor, Katia, which harken back to the town’s history of unrequited love and murder, alchemy and immortality. Charming traditions soon give way to a string of gruesome deaths, and Ash feels drawn to Dane, a forbidden boy with secrets of his own.
As the community prepares for a ceremony five hundred years in the making, Ash must fight not only to save her mother, but herself—and discover the truth about Quivira before it’s too late. Before she’s all in—blood and salt.
Why am I waiting?
Children of the Corn terrfied me when I was younger, and I like the foreboding that name brings on. I am curious to see what Ash finds when she follows her mother, and what exactly the five hundred year old ritual. This tied with the creepy cover makes it the perfect Halloween read. I am defiantly picking this one up when it comes out. 

What are you waiting on?
