Waiting on Wednesday: Where Silence Gathers, by Kelsey Sutton

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine to spotlight upcoming book releases that we're excited about.


I just realized that I haven't done a WoW post in a month! How did that happen?! o.O


This week's pick:

Release date: July 8, 2014
Publisher: Flux
Format: Paperback, 360 pages

Goodreads description:
In this companion novel to the critically acclaimed Some Quiet Place, Alex must choose between Revenge and Forgiveness.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandra Tate sits outside Nate Foster's house, clutching a gun. After serving ten years for the drunk driving accident that killed Alex's family, Nate has been released from prison. Every night, Alex waits out of sight, building up the courage to exact her own justice. There's just one problem: Forgiveness.

Alex has been able to see personified Emotions for as long as she can remember, and Revenge is her best friend. But when Forgiveness suddenly appears, he offers Alex a choice—getting even or moving on. It's impossible to decide when Revenge whispers in one ear . . . and Forgiveness whispers in the other. 


I really loved Some Quiet Place, though unfortunately I didn't get around to writing a review (yet). The portrayal of the personified emotion Fear really appealed to me, so I can't wait to meet Revenge! I'm also curious about Alex and the whole backstory in general. And just look at this pretty cover! It's a great match for the first book, too.
Have you read Some Quiet Place? Are you interested in the sequel? I think you could also read this one without having read the first book, since the characters are different. I'm still hoping for a Fear cameo ;)

Waiting on Wednesday: Some Quiet Place, by Kelsey Sutton

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine to highlight upcoming books we're excited about.

This week's pick:

Exptected release: July 8, 2013
Publisher: Flux
Format: Paperback, 360 pages

Elizabeth Caldwell has perfected the art of pretending to feel emotion, but it’s always a lie. After a near-fatal car accident when she was a small child, Elizabeth lost the ability to feel any emotion, but along with that loss she gained bizarre abilities: she can see the personified Emotions she cannot feel. Fury, Resentment, Longing—they’ve all given up on her, because she doesn't succumb to their touch. All, that is, save one. Fear. He’s consumed by the mystery of Elizabeth’s past, consumed by her.

And then there are Elizabeth's cryptic, recurring dreams, in which there’s always love, and there’s always death. Haunted by these dreams, Elizabeth paints them, knowing that they somehow hold the key to the mystery of her past.

But a shadowy menace is stalking Elizabeth. Her survival depends on uncovering the truth about herself. And when it matters most, she won’t be able to rely on Fear to save her.


This just sounds so amazing! A girl pretending to feel emotion, and personified emotions around her. I want to know more about Fear, and Elizabeth's dreams. Love and Death and Fear all tangled up - I think this will be my kind of book! And I love the autumn-feel of the cover.
Have you heard of my pick before? What do you think of it? Also leave me a link to your own WoW :)
