WoW [63]

Waiting on Wednesday [WoW] is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm featuring two amazing books I can't wait for.


Remember Me [Find Me #2] by Romily Bernard
Expected Publication: September 23, 2014
Publisher: HarperTeen

Synopsis...
Wick Tate, a teenage hacker and former foster child, is back in action in this sequel to FIND ME. As a new murder case unravels, a new badass hacker love interest arrives on the scene, and long-buried secrets start to shake loose. But this time, Wick’s not so sure she can win.

Why I Can’t Wait….
I’m a huge fan of the series and I can’t wait to find out what happens next. Super excited about this one!





The Dolls by Kiki Sullivan 
Expected Publication: September 9, 2014
Publisher: HarperTeen

Sypnosis
Eveny Cheval just moved back to Louisiana after spending her childhood in New York with her aunt Bea. Eveny hasn’t seen her hometown since her mother’s suicide fourteen years ago, and her memories couldn’t have prepared her for what she encounters. Because pristine, perfectly manicured Carrefour has a dark side full of intrigue, betrayal, and lies—and Eveny quickly finds herself at the center of it all.

Enter Peregrine Marceau, Chloe St. Pierre, and their group of rich, sexy friends known as the Dolls. From sipping champagne at lunch to hooking up with the hottest boys, Peregrine and Chloe have everything—including an explanation for what’s going on in Carrefour. And Eveny doesn’t trust them one bit.

But after murder strikes and Eveny discovers that everything she believes about herself, her family, and her life is a lie, she must turn to the Dolls for answers. Something’s wrong in paradise, and it’s up to Eveny, Chloe, and Peregrine to save Carrefour and make it right.

Why I Can’t Wait…
Sassy Southern chicks with what seems like attitudes and secrets…SOLD!

Feel free to link me to yours, I love to see what’s the next big read.

Review: Find Me by Romily Bernard

Find Me by Romily Bernard
Expected publication: September 24, 2013
Format: E-ARC via Edelweiss
Publisher: HarperTeen
Rating: 5/5
Add to Goodreads
Buy: AZ/BN
Synopsis
“Find Me.”

These are the words written on Tessa Waye’s diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa’s just been found . . . dead.

Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target.

Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick. Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick’s deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step?

Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.

But she’s going to find this killer no matter what.

Because it just got personal.
My Thoughts
Oh where to begin! Simply put I LOVED this book. I loved how the author Romily Bernard gave us such a strong female character. I enjoyed how Wick is a fine line between strong yet soft. It’s a hard thing to do without one being more dominate than the other.

I’m a huge fan of the whole teen hacking storyline. It’s something different and has plenty of action in it. This story was more than that though. It’s also a story of a young girl trying to hold her and sister together and trying to make a decent life after all the hardships she’s already experienced in her short life thus far. The things she has seen and been exposed to has made Wick the way she is, making it hard for her to trust anyone in her life again.

Wick is thrown into a sick and twisted game by someone who has made it clear they want Wick’s sister as their next victim. Never one to back down from anything Wick has made it her mission to save her sister, but is it Wick who will need to be saved?

An amazing fast paced adventure one you will not want to miss. While you might be able to figure out who’s the person behind everything, this story is so much more than that. There are so many twists and turns to this book that the whole aspect of the ‘who done it’ is merely a small piece of this amazing page turning puzzle. Romily Bernard’s writing will suck you in within minutes and will keep you captivated until the very end. She’s definitely one voice I can't wait to hear more of. Now I don’t know if this is a series or stand alone but let me just put it out there that I’m hoping there’s more to come!

Summary via Goodreads...
"Find Me." These are the words written on Tessa Waye's diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa's just been found...dead.

Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target. Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick.

Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick's deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step? Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.

But she's going to find this killer no matter what. Because it just got personal.

Why I Can’t Wait....
I love the whole mystery-hacker world thing that seems to going on. The twists and turns that come in this game of hide and seek looks very intruging. I recently got an advanced copy so I can’t wait to start reading it, and seeing how it all plays out.

That’s what I’m waiting for…please share yours.
