What I'm Waiting On:

Title: Legend

Author: Marie Lu

Publication Date: November 29, 2011

From Goodreads:

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

Doesn't this sound ridiculously good? I am on a dystopian kick right now and can't get enough of it. This one sounds especially awesome because I also love a good murder mystery. I'll be buying this on release day for sure, which is rare for me. I usually don't get around to reading books until months later, sometimes years. I'll be making an exception here, though. This can't come out soon enough!

What are you waiting on?
