Waiting on Wednesday: Hellraisers

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: Hellraisers

Author: Alexander Gordon Smith

Series: The Devil's Engine #1

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Publication Date: December 1, 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Horror

From the author of the Escape from Furnace series, an explosive new horror trilogy about an ordinary American kid caught up in an invisible war against the very worst enemy imaginable.
There is a machine from the darkest parts of history, concealed in an impossible location, that can make any wish come true, and the only price you have to pay is your soul. Known as the Devil’s Engine, this device powers a brutal war between good and evil that will decide the fate of every living thing on Earth. When a 16-year-old asthmatic kid named Marlow Green unwittingly rescues an ass-kicking secret soldier from a demonic attack in the middle of his Staten Island neighborhood, he finds himself following her into a centuries-old conflict between a group of mysterious protectors and the legions of the Devil himself. Faced with superpowers, monsters, machine guns, and a lot worse, Marlow knows it's going to be a breathless ride—and not just because he’s lost his inhaler along the way.

Why am I waiting?

I never read the Escape from the Furnace series, but I have heard great things about that series. I am curious about Alexander Gordon Smith's new series now. I like the premise where an unsuspecting kid gets pulled into a war with the Devil himself. This sounds like it is going to full of action, and danger. I will defiantly be picking this one up when it releases.

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:

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.

Waiting on Wednesday: Reawakened

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: Reawakened

Author: Colleen Houck

Series: Reawakened #1

Publisher: Delacorte Press

Publication Date: August 11, 2015
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, 

When seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art one morning during spring break, the last thing she expects to find is a live Egyptian prince with godlike powers, who has been reawakened after a thousand years of mummification.
And she really can't imagine being chosen to aid him in an epic quest that will lead them across the globe to find his brothers and complete a grand ceremony that will save mankind.
But fate has taken hold of Lily, and she, along with her sun prince, Amon, must travel to the Valley of the Kings, raise his brothers, and stop an evil, shape-shifting god named Seth from taking over the world.
From New York Times bestselling author Colleen Houck comes an epic adventure about two star-crossed teens who must battle mythical forces and ancient curses on a journey with more twists and turns than the Nile itself.

Why am I waiting?

Since I was little I have been obsessed with Ancient Egypt. History, Culture, Mythology, Pharaohs, and Mummies there is so much that intrigues me. I love that this book is saturated in Ancient Egyptian culture and history that transpires in modern times. I am more excited about this book then I have been for a book in a really long time. Are you an Ancient Egypt Enthusiast too?
