Waiting On Wednesday (42) Death and the Girl Next Door (Darklight #1)


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

My choice for this week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Death and the Girl Next Door (Darklight #1) by Darynda Jones

Paperback, 320 pages
Expected publication: October 2nd 2012 by St. Martin's Press
Synopsis From Goodreads:

Ten years ago, Lorelei's parents disappeared without a trace. Raised by her grandparents and leaning on the support of her best friends, Lorelei is finally beginning to accept the fact that her parents are never coming home. For Lorelei, life goes on.

High school is not quite as painful as she thinks it will be, and things are as normal as they can be. Until the day the school's designated loner, Cameron Lusk, begins to stalk her, turning up where she least expects it, standing outside her house in the dark, night after night. Things get even more complicated when a new guy—terrifying, tough, sexy Jared Kovach—comes to school. Cameron and Jared instantly despise each other and Lorelei seems to be the reason for their animosity. What does Jared know about her parents? Why does Cameron tell Jared he can't have Lorelei? And what will any of them do when Death comes knocking for real? Thrilling, sassy, sexy, and inventive, Darynda Jones's first foray into the world of teens will leave readers eager for the next installment.

Why I Want To Read It:
I have been reading a ton of great reviews for this book. I haven't read anything from Darynda Jones before, but I am willing to give this a chance.

What are you waiting on this week?

  9. I don't know much about this book, but I'm definitely intrigued - I'm so curious how her missing parents will play into this and affect the triangle too. Plus, both the boys seem to be pretty epically swoonworthy haha. Great pick!

    Thanks for stopping by!
