"Waiting on" Wednesday: Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly even hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we're super excited about. This week, my pick is:

Paper Valentine

Brenna Yovanoff

Expected Publication: January 8th, 2013 by Razorbill

A girl does a macabre dance with death in this eerie new novel from New York Times bestselling author Brenna Yovanoff.

The city of Ludlow is gripped by the hottest July on record. The asphalt is melting, the birds are dying, petty crime is on the rise, and someone in Hannah Wagnor's peaceful suburban community is killing girls.

For Hannah, the summer is a complicated one. Her best friend Lillian died six months ago, and Hannah just wants her life to go pack to normal. But how can things be normal when Lillian's ghost is haunting her bedroom, pushing her to investigate the mysterious string of murders? Hannah's just trying to understand why her best friend self-destructed, and where she fits now that Lillian isn't there to save her a place among the social elite. And she must stop thinking about Finny Boone, the big, enigmatic delinquent whose main hobbies seem to include petty larceny and surprising acts of kindness.

With the entire city in panic, Hannah soon finds herself drawn into a world of ghost girls and horrifying secrets. She realizes that only by confronting the Valentine Killer will she be able to move on with her life--and it's up to her to put together the pieces before he strikes again.

I happen to own both The Replacement and The Space Between by Yovanoff, I just haven't been able to get to them yet. I love the ideas of her novels, though, and I can't wait to add Paper Valentine to my shelves- Hopefully, I'll be able to read her other novels before this one comes out. Hehe.

This is my "Waiting on", what's yours?
