Synopsis: When Gwendolyn “Dough” Reilly’s boyfriend and best friend Wish moves away in seventh grade, the only consolation she can find is in her family bakery’s donuts. Now, it’s sophomore year, and Wish is coming back. But in only three years, they’ve both changed—drastically. She’s seriously overweight, and suddenly Wish is the most popular guy in school, and girls everywhere want him. Dough has doubts that appearances don’t matter and that Wish can love her as she is, so she launches into a plan designed to keep them together. That is, until she discovers that Wish’s gorgeous looks and charm might not be all they appear to be.

Title: Darkness Becomes Her

Synopsis: Ari can’t help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can’t be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.
Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it’s impossible to protect herself when she doesn’t know what she’s running from or why she is being pursued.
She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.
Ari won’t stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.
Three very different books again this week. From pretty covers, to dark covers, this WoW has it all. And yes, I am excited and eager to read all three - And the 2011 books just keep on coming!
*covers are always subject to change.
*I am not compensated at all for any of the links within this page.
All three books sound great! I love the covers. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read Darkness Becomes Her because it takes place in NOLA (even a futuristic one).
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait for Darkness Becomes Her either! The cover is dark and eerie and totally has me intrigued! That will likely be one of my WoWs as it gets closer!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW for this week though
Thanks for sharing these great titles. Choker looks intriguing - I'll have to check that one out. You might also enjoy a new historical fiction book out called, Blood, Money, Power by Michele Marie Tate. I just finished it and really got involved in the story, which focuses on three generations of a family starting in 1920. The family is involved in politics, wealth and greed that eventually leads to murder.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Darkness becomes her :):):):) Pretty as cover!!
