Waiting on Wednesday is just getting cruel now – I’m basically not buying any books for a long time so I just get to sit here and sadly eat chocolate whilst I admire all the beautiful books that I won’t by, *sobs*. On another, I’ve decided I’m going to try and read 15 books in November *distant laughing* (the most I’ve ever read in a month is 10 . . . sooo) – how many books do you think you’ll get to?
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. It’s a tremendously fun thing to be because you have an excuse to gallivant through the 2016 releases (and probably buy far too many books). It’s also fantastic fun to head over to the official page and check out the link up to what everyone else is waiting on!
This week I’m waiting on . . .
Dead Girls Society
by Michelle Krys
Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult, Mystery/Thriller
Author: Michelle Krys
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Pages: 304 {hardback}
You are cordially invited to participate in a game of thrills and dares. Tell no one, and come alone. If you dare.
Hope is sick of everyone treating her like she’s breakable. Sure, she has cystic fibrosis (basically really bad lungs), but she’s tired of being babied by her mom and her overprotective best friend, Ethan, not to mention worrying about paying for her expensive medication and how she’s going to afford college. And she’s bored with life in her run-down New Orleans suburb.
When an invitation arrives from a mysterious group that calls itself the Society, Hope jumps at the chance for some excitement. This could be her ticket out. All she has to do is complete a few dares and she might win some real money.
But the Society isn’t all it seems . . . and soon Hope finds that playing the game isn’t a choice—it’s a requirement.
RELEASE DATE: 8th November 2016
// PRE-ORDER //
Truth be told, the main reason I was originally drawn into this book was because its title sounded somewhat similar to “Dead Poets Society”, and that’s clearly a good reason to judge a book. But then I actually read the blurb – HOLY COW – have you read it? No? Silly billy, scroll back up and read it, trust me. I almost want to break my unofficial book buying ban to get my grabby hands on this. There’s nothing that shouts READ ME more than a game that isn’t a game and probably ends up killing at least 3 of your favourite characters. You know its true.
I am a book depository affiliate so I would greatly appreciate it if you use my provided links to pre-order/buy this book! I will be paid a small commission, at no extra cost to you, from the company and that goes a long way!
