Waiting on Wednesday, 8/21/13

Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, is a weekly meme to spotlight upcoming books we bloggers can't wait to get our hands on. This week I'm waiting on Lauren DeStefano's PERFECT RUIN.

On Internment, the floating island in the clouds where 16-year-old Morgan Stockhour lives, getting too close to the edge can lead to madness. Even though Morgan's older brother, Lex, was a Jumper, Morgan vows never to end up like him. She tries her best not to mind that her life is orderly and boring, and if she ever wonders about the ground, and why it is forbidden, she takes solace in best friend Pen and her betrothed, Basil.

Then a murder, the first in a generation, rocks the city. With whispers swirling and fear on the wind, Morgan can no longer stop herself from investigating, especially when she meets Judas. He is the boy being blamed for the murder — betrothed to the victim — but Morgan is convinced of his innocence. Secrets lay at the heart of Internment, but nothing can prepare Morgan for what she will find — or who she will lose.

 This sounds right up my alley -- vaguely dystopian with some hardcore government secrets. Plus, I adored Lauren DeStefano's Chemical Garden trilogy and this cover is gorgeous. Mark October 1 on your calendars for this one!

 What are YOU waiting on this week?

    I love the cover on this book. A murder mystery and a government conspiracy? Sounds intriguing.

    Also I'm following you, 'cause you like Terry Pratchett and I like your style :)
