Waiting on Wednesday: Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: 

Description:

Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows. 

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he’s a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she’s more than interested. There’s just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she’s willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? 

But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she’s not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time.

Coming out on September 18, 2012

Why? 

1. How horrible!  I can't help but automatically pity Ember.  But seeing how she survives and what she finds out what is going on with her.
2. I wonder what the catch is of all that she will learn from the "father" figure character. It is leading you to believe he is the bad guy, but what if he is the good guy?  Hmmmm.
3. I love the cover!  You can't tell if she is dead, or if she is asleep, or just thinking.  Plus the colors are just beautiful!

What are you waiting for?

Happy Reading!
