Waiting on Wednesday (24) - Velveteen




Waiting on Wednesday is a feature hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine that shares the upcoming releases we bloggers are on the edge of our seats about!



Velveteen
(Velveteen #1)
Daniel Marks
Release date: October 9, 2012


Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem.

The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind.

Bonesaw.

Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome.

But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.

Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.


This cover is delicious (black and white with a splash of hot pink - always a winner) and the synopsis sounds wonderfully dark and certainly unique. I'm hoping the fact that this is YA won't hold it back from being as gritty as I'm expecting it to be.

  7. Love the cover of this but I'm not sure about the blurb - it's a marmite siituation. Think I'm going to wait until I see a few more reviews before deciding whether to read it or not!

  11. This type of book is normally not "my" type, but I just had to add it to my Goodreads list because it's unlike any other book I've heard of. The synopsis and chilling, mysterious, and creepy and I really want to know what happens. Great choice!!

  12. I gave a copy of this book away last month! So excited about it, even though at the same time I'm a little wary about the revenge/redemption tropes. *sigh*

  22. Heck. YEAH. That pop of pink (or any color) against black and white DOES THINGS TO ME. Like you mentioned. I just can't get over this book. I HAVE this book and I'm still not over it. I probably won't be even after I've read it, but, BOY, THAT COVER sure has gone a LOOOONG way with me.
