Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Synopsis:
Boy Scouts live by the motto “Be Prepared.” However, nothing can prepare this group of young boys and their scoutmaster for what they encounter on a small, deserted island, as they settle down for a weekend of campfires, merit badges, and survival lessons.
Everything changes when a haggard stranger in tattered clothing appears out of nowhere and collapses on the campers’ doorstep. Before the night is through, this stranger will end up infecting one of the troop’s own with a bioengineered horror that’s straight out of their worst nightmares. Now stranded on the island with no communication to the outside world, the troop learns to battle much more than the elements, as they are pitted against something nature never intended…and eventually each other.

Isn't that cover awesome? I love the creep factor of it. It kind of reminds me of the cover for Ten by Gretchen McNeil. I loved that book, so if this one is anything like that one then I will be a happy camper (unlike those boy scouts!). I love survival stories, especially when it involves kids. Can't wait!
What about you? What's on your radar this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
Ooh, looks scary. Should be a good one!
