Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.

Haunting Violet
by Alyxandra Harvey

releasing June 21, 2011 by Walker Book for Young Readers

Description:

Violet Willoughby doesn't believe in ghosts. But they believe in her. After spending years participating in her mother's elaborate ruse as a fraudulent medium, Violet is about as skeptical as they come in all matters supernatural. Now that she is being visited by a very persistent ghost, one who suffered a violent death, Violet can no longer ignore her unique ability. She must figure out what this ghost is trying to communicate, and quickly because the killer is still on the loose.

Afraid of ruining her chance to escape her mother's scheming through an advantageous marriage, Violet must keep her ability secret. The only person who can help her is Colin, a friend she's known since childhood, and whom she has grown to love. He understands the true Violet, but helping her on this path means they might never be together. Can Violet find a way to help this ghost without ruining her own chance at a future free of lies?

My thoughts: This ghost story sounds amazing, and what a breathtaking cover. That's all I need! :)

    I like Alyxandra Harvey's Drake Chronicles series and this looks really good too. I will have to add it to my TBR list. Nice pick Becky! The cover reminds me of Ophelia from Hamlet.

    "Violet Willoughby doesn't believe in ghosts. But they believe in her." Enticing! I always scare myself with ghost stories...I'm such a scaredy-cat. But this sounds like a good read!

    I've seen the cover of this book before, but I'm just now noticing the girl on the cover looks like Angelina Jolie, at least I think so. :)
