Waiting on Wednesday: Comforted by the bones of dead animals???
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
A lot of bloggers are raving about this debut so I’m anxious to see if it lives up to the hype. The cover doesn’t thrill me but the summary is definitely intriguing. If the visions and nightmares didn’t grab you, the idea that the MC is comforted by the bones of dead animals will. If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear what you thought about it. Should I rush out and buy a copy or borrow it from the library?
Harbinger by Sara Wilson Etienne
When sixteen-year-old Faye arrives at Holbrook Academy, she doesn’t expect to find herself exactly where she needs to be. After years of strange waking visions and nightmares, her only comfort the bones of dead animals, Faye is afraid she’s going crazy. Fast.
But her first night at Holbrook, she feels strangely connected to the school and the island it sits on, like she’s come home. She’s even made her first real friends, but odd things keep happening to them. Every morning they wake on the floors of their dorm rooms with their hands stained red.
Faye knows she’s the reason, but what does it all mean? The handsome Kel tries to help her unravel the mystery, but Faye is certain she can’t trust him; in fact, he may be trying to kill her – and the rest of the world too.
