Waiting on Wednesday


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. I also feature books that may have already released, but I am anxiously waiting to read.

This week, I'm featuring:
Insomnia (The Night Walkers, #1)
Insomnia (The Night Walkers, #1)
Johansson, J.R.
t’s been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me.

Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp enters the dream of the last person he’s had eye contact with. He spends his nights crushed by other people’s fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets—and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion is crippling him. If nothing changes, Parker could soon be facing psychosis and even death.

Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. Parker starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia’s eye every day. Everyone at school thinks he’s gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it’s Parker.

Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is him after all?

Releases: June 8th 2013 by Flux

What are you waiting on?

    I have an ARC of this one and can't wait to dig into some time in May! It sounds so creepy and new, and I love books where the main characters reliability as a narrator is in question.

    Ohh, Insomnia looks so good! I love the idea of someone not being able to sleep-- but instead entering other people's dreams. It's awesome. ;) Great pick, Brandi! :)

    Okay, I would have rejected this book based on the cover, but that premise! Wow, that sounds really good!! I might have to get that one! I never even looked twice at that in the Flux catalog. I thought it was about Zombies!lol
