Waiting On Wednesday (#17) - Taken by Erin Bowman

Waiting on Wednesday is Hosted by Jill @ Breaking The Spine

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

Why I'm Waiting For It: One Word: EPIC! it sounds so good and amazing, I want to dive into this one soon! I love the whole concept and I think that it has lots of potential for a great dystopian!  Plus who doesn't love that cover? I hope I receive a review copy!

The Heist by Erin Bowman will be released on April 16, 2013 by HarperTeen

Now what are YOU Waitng This Wednesday? :)

Goodreads Synopsis:  Embrace the Forbidden

What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?

This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.

Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

From Goodreads

My Teaser: "No. That's for those who lack confidence " "Have you taken advantage of a girl who wasted or passed out?" "No. What's the use if she can't remember " "Forced a girl to do something she didn't want to?" "No. Are you training to be a psychologist? 

Now, what's YOUR Teaser Tuesday? :)
