Waiting on Wednesday (#15)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog feature hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine which spotlights future releases that we may be eagerly anticipating. Here is my pick for the week:

Title: Linked
Author: Imogen Howson
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Released: March 2013
Elissa used to have it all: looks, popularity, and a bright future. But for the last three years, she’s been struggling with terrifying visions, phantom pains, and mysterious bruises that appear out of nowhere. 

Finally, she’s promised a cure: minor surgery to burn out the overactive area of her brain. But on the eve of the procedure, she discovers the shocking truth behind her hallucinations: she’s been seeing the world through another girl’s eyes. 

Elissa follows her visions, and finds a battered, broken girl on the run. A girl—Lin—who looks exactly like Elissa, down to the matching bruises. The twin sister she never knew existed. 

Now, Elissa and Lin are on the run from a government who will stop at nothing to reclaim Lin and protect the dangerous secrets she could expose—secrets that would shake the very foundation of their world. 

Riveting, thought-provoking and utterly compelling, Linked will make you question what it really means to be human.


Just look at that cover. If that wasn't convincing enough, the description sure is. I can't wait to get hold of this book even if I have to wait all the way until 2013. Do you like the sound of this book, too?

  3. This looks good. Why is the government always the bad guys though? Not that I don't agree with the idea but really?

  36. LOL Sam, I think that 90% of the time, a gorgeous cover can always be enough to intrigue x) But this one definitely has that holding oh-my-goodness-this-sounds-so-amazing synopsis too! I feel like waiting until 2013 rolls around will be torture, but to quote Bob the Builder: Can we do it? Yes we can! :')
