Waiting on Wednesday: Need

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:
20550148
Title: Need
Author: Joelle Charbonneau
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 
Publication Date: November 3, 2015
Genre:Young Adult, Thriller, 
"No one gets something for nothing. We all should know better."
Teenagers at Wisconsin's Nottawa High School are drawn deeper into a social networking site that promises to grant their every need . . . regardless of the consequences. Soon the site turns sinister, with simple pranks escalating to malicious crimes. The body count rises. In this chilling YA thriller, the author of the best-selling Testing trilogy examines not only the dark side of social media, but the dark side of human nature.
Why am I waiting?
A social networking site that grants wishes and people start to die. I have to know what it behind this synopsis. The cover and the title only make me want to read it more. I have not had the chance to finish Joelle Charbonneau's Testing series, but I may have to read this one first. 

What are you waiting on?

Waiting on Wednesday: Vengeance Road

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:

Vengeance Road
Title: Vengeance Road
Author: Erin Bowman
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Publication Date: September 1, 2015
Genre:Young Adult, Historical, 
When Kate Thompson’s father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there's room for love in a heart so full of hate.      In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.
Why am I waiting?
I not sure if I have ever really read a historical novel with western theme. I mean I love the old west, but I cannot remember actually reading a book with that setting. I think this book maybe what changes that, I really like the premise and this defiantly sounds like an action packed read.
