Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine and is where we can talk about books we are looking forward to being released.
Summary:
Mysterious. Magnificent. Creepy. Welcome to Rockford Manor.
"There's something hidden in the Maze." Seventeen-year-old Imogen has never forgotten the last words her father said to her seven years ago, before the blazing fire that consumed him, her mother, and the gardens of her family's English country manor.
Haunted by her parents' deaths, Imogen moves to New York City with her new guardians. But when a letter arrives with the news of her cousin's untimely death, revealing that Imogen is now the only heir left to run the estate, she returns to England and warily accepts her role as duchess.
All is not as it seems at Rockford, and Imogen quickly learns that dark secrets lurk behind the mansion's aristocratic exterior, hinting that the spate of deaths in her family were no accident. And at the center of the mystery is Imogen herself--and Sebastian, the childhood friend she has secretly loved for years. Just what has Imogen walked into?
Combining a fresh twist on the classic REBECCA with a spine-tingling mystery and powerful romance, SUSPICION is an action-packed thrill ride.

Why I'm Waiting:
I've been a fan of Monir's since I first read her Timeless series a couple years back and am so excited to see her releasing a new novel.
And that cover? I loves it.
Summary:
Can you hear Atlantia breathing?
For as long as she can remember, Rio has dreamt of the sand and sky Above—of life beyond her underwater city of Atlantia. But in a single moment, all her plans for the future are thwarted when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected decision, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rio’s true self—and the powerful siren voice she has long hidden—she has nothing left to lose.
Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mother’s death, her own destiny, and the complex system constructed to govern the divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths.

Why I'm Waiting:
The cover is so gorgeous that as soon as I saw it I knew I had to read it, especially since it's a take on Atlantis.
That first one about the maze looks awesome! I love the mystery behind it. The Atlantis book sounds like a mix of The Little Mermaid and Teen Wolf. I think I might have to check these out. Thanks for sharing!

Great picks Kim! I haven't really read Ally Condie yet and I'm not sure if I'm going to but I'm looking forward to Suspicion. :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Interesting picks. I do love reading about Atlantis. Here are my picks.
ReplyDeleteBoth look very interesting, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI've seen both of these before, and while I am very excited about Suspicion, I wasn't totally rocked by Ally Condie's Matched trilogy, so I'm a little unsure of this new one, although the concept sounds very promising!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
These both look so good! I can't wait to read them!

I haven't heard about the other book but I can't wait for Suspicion either, it has a great potential and THAT COVER. *-* freaking beautiful. I hope it'll be as good as it seems like.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick!
Here's mine: http://reading-is-dreaming-with-open-eyes.blogspot.hu/2014/08/waiting-on-wednesday-9-stay-with-me-by.html
Suspicion is on NetGalley! Go, Kimberly, go!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth actually sound really interesting - hope they're worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW
I read Timeless, which I enjoyed but haven't read the sequel yet, but really excited to get my hands on Suspicion, such a pretty cover, too! I read Matched, but couldn't get into the second book, so haven't even bothered finishing the series, but can't wait for Atlantia either. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine

Two very excellent choices this week. I think I really want to see how these books turn out. They look so good.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Suspicion looks amazing! The cover alone is breathtaking. And Atlantia looks like it is going to be epic! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteOur WoW @ Lazy Book Lovers!
I love the choices! Putting these two in the same post is really cool, the covers are similar... but not. I really want to read Suspicion, but I wouldn't mind getting Atlantia! I hope you enjoy both :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Wednesday!
Check out my WoW post!
Suspicion sounds amazing! I added this to my TBR a few weeks back. I love the cover too!
ReplyDeleteThese both sound awesome! I haven't heard of Suspicion before, though.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW pick for this week :D
Everything from the cover to the blurb for Suspicion looks great. It's definitely going on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I'll be interested to read what you think about these books. The covers are definitely eye candy.
