Waiting on Wednesday: Vanishing Girls

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:

Title: Vanishing Girls

Author: Lauren Oliver

Publisher: Harper Collins

Publication Date: March 10, 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Mystery

New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver delivers a gripping story about two sisters inexorably altered by a terrible accident.

Dara and Nick used to be inseparable, but that was before the accident that left Dara's beautiful face scarred and the two sisters totally estranged. When Dara vanishes on her birthday, Nick thinks Dara is just playing around. But another girl, nine-year-old Madeline Snow, has vanished, too, and Nick becomes increasingly convinced that the two disappearances are linked. Now Nick has to find her sister, before it's too late.

In this edgy and compelling novel, Lauren Oliver creates a world of intrigue, loss, and suspicion as two sisters search to find themselves, and each other.

Why am I waiting?

Vanishing Girls sounds just like the mystery/thriller novel I have been craving lately. This one sounds interesting with the sisters trying to find each other, even with their estranged relationship. It also has me curious about the accident that caused Dara's face to become disfigured. This one defiantly has my interest peeked. 

What are you waiting on?

Waiting on Wednesday: Panic

 

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:

Title: Panic

Author: Lauren Oliver

Publisher: HarperCollins

Publication Date: March 4, 2014

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.
Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.
Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.
For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

Why am I waiting?

This one sounds like it is going to be a dangerous but exciting adventure through Panic. I have not read anything by Lauren Oliver, but I have been meaning to for awhile. I think I may just have to start with Panic. I am also curious to see what Dodge's secret is and if Heather finds out about it.
