"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
This edge-of-your-seat YA horror flips Western archetypes for a gritty, edgy, and wholly original read.
For fans of Dread Nation and Westworld!
Faolan
Kelly’s grandfather is dead. She’s alone in the world and suddenly
homeless, all because the local powers that be don’t think a young man
of sixteen is mature enough to take over his grandfather’s homestead…and
that’s with them thinking Faolan is a young man. If she revealed that
her grandfather had been disguising her for years, they would marry her
off at the first opportunity.
The mayor finds a solution that
serves everyone but Faolan: He hires a gunslinger to ship her off to the
Settlement, a remote fort where social outcasts live under the
leadership of His Benevolence Gideon Dillard. It's a place rife with
mystery, kept afloat by suspicious wealth. Dillard's absolute command
over his staff just doesn't seem right. And neither do the strange
noises that keep Faolan up at night.
When Faolan finds the body
of a Settlement boarder, mangled by something that can’t possibly be
human, it’s clear something vicious is stalking the palisades. And as
Settlement boarders continue to drop like flies, Faolan knows she must
escape to evade the creature’s wrath.
