Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at breaking the spine featuring books we are eagerly anticipating but haven’t been publication.
[singlepic id=462 w=520 h=440 float=left]
Title: Taken by Erin Bowman
Series: The Laicos Project (#1)
Publish date: April 16 , 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
Genre: Dystopia
Format: Hardcover
Pages: 352
There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.
They call it the Heist.
Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.
Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?
Reason: A world where men are disappearing sounds interesting and having a male protagonist is different females dominates YA.

Title: Touch of Death by Kelly Hashway
Publish date: January 15 , 2013
Publisher: Spenser Hill Press
Genre: Fantasy / Mythology
Pages: eBook
Jodi Marshall isn’t sure how she went from normal teenager to walking disaster. One minute she’s in her junior year of high school, spending time with her amazing boyfriend and her best friend. The next she’s being stalked by some guy no one seems to know.
After the stranger, Alex, reveals himself, Jodi learns he’s not a normal teenager and neither is she. With a kiss that kills and a touch that brings the dead back to life, Jodi discovers she’s part of a branch of necromancers born under the 13th sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus. A branch of necromancers that are descendents of Medusa. A branch of necromancers with poisoned blood writhing in their veins.
Jodi’s deadly to the living and even more deadly to the deceased. She has to leave her old, normal life behind before she hurts the people she loves. As if that isn’t difficult enough, Jodi discovers she’s the chosen one who has to save the rest of her kind from perishing at the hands of Hades. If she can’t figure out how to control her power, history will repeat itself, and her race will become extinct.
Reason: This sounds really cool and original just what I read so far has peeked my curiosity.
