Waiting on Wednesday #80

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

THE 5TH WAVE BY RICK YANCEY

Goodreads Description:

The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.


Hardcover, 480 pages
Expected publication: May 7th 2013 by Putnam Juvenile

I think The 5th Wave sounds amazing. I've only been waiting for it for a few weeks, though, since I didn't hear about it right away. But still. I'm dying to read this book :D It just seems so good. Sigh.
What are you waiting for?
