Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
Wednesday is my favorite day of the week because I get to share books that I am super excited about and can't wait to read.
Paperback, 304 pages
Expected publication: May 13th 2014 by Balzer + Bray
Synopsis From Goodreads:
With the intrigue of Pretty Little Liars and plenty of romance, bestselling author Sarah Strohmeyer weaves a story of secrets and lies—set in a funeral parlor.
Growing up in a house of female morticians, Lily Graves knows all about buried secrets. She knows that perfect senior-class president Erin Donohue isn’t what she seems. She knows why Erin’s ex-boyfriend, hot football player Matt Houser, broke up with her. And she also knows that, even though she says she and Matt are just friends, there is something brewing between them — something Erin definitely did not like.
But secrets, even ones that are long buried, have a way of returning to haunt their keeper.
So when Erin is found dead the day after attacking Lily in a jealous rage, Lily's and Matt’s safe little lives, and the lives of everyone in their town of Potsdam, begin to unravel. And their relationship — which grew from innocent after-school tutoring sessions to late-night clandestine rendezvous — makes them both suspects.
As her world crumbles around her, Lily must figure out the difference between truth and deception, genuine love and a web of lies. And she must do it quickly, before the killer claims another victim.
Doesn't this sound awesome and different? A funeral parlor, female morticians, and the last name Graves. What a combination! I haven't read anything by this author before, but I am looking forward to reading this one.

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this one, too. I found her last book a bit too cutesy, but this one sounds amazing. I love YA mysteries. It's up on EW, just FYI. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI ws just thinking about downloading this one yeasterday and I decided against it, but I'll likely end up changing my mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I hadn't heard of this book before! That's an interesting concept - so much death, as you pointed out! This isn't a book I would typically read, but I might check it out! I hope you enjoy it when you read it. Perhaps check Edelweiss - Harper just uploaded a tonnnn of books recently :D
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW post!
Awesome pick! This just popped up on Edelweiss, and I'm super tempted to grab it. It's totally interesting that the setting is funeral home! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW at Bookmunchies (:
This sounds great! Definitely different from Sarah Strohmeyers other novels that tend to stick to being cute contemporaries! I just got it on Edelweiss, so we'll see!
