Waiting On Wednesday (69)


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

Title: In The After
Author: Demitria Lunetta
Expected Publication Date: June 25, 2013

Synopsis:

They hear the most silent of footsteps.
They are faster than anything you've ever seen.
And They won't stop chasing you...until you are dead.

Amy is watching TV when it happens, when the world is attacked by Them. These vile creatures are rapidly devouring mankind. Most of the population is overtaken, but Amy manages to escape—and even rescue “Baby,” a toddler left behind in the chaos. Marooned in Amy’s house, the girls do everything they can to survive—and avoid Them at all costs.

After years of hiding, they are miraculously rescued and taken to New Hope, a colony of survivors living in a former government research compound. While at first the colony seems like a dream with plenty of food, safety, and shelter, New Hope slowly reveals that it is far from ideal. And Amy soon realizes that unless things change, she’ll lose Baby—and much more.

I know what you are thinking, another one? It seems apocalyptic books are popping out everywhere these days. But this one has something that I have yet to come across: a baby. I have yet to come across another book where the main character is not only trying to survive, but to save a small child as well. I need to read this. Like, now. My greatest fear in life is that something is going to happen and I will be forced to take my kids into hiding. Who knows what it would be, war, aliens... who knows. But my greatest fear is not being able to keep them safe. Perhaps I never should have watched War of the Worlds a few years ago, I was traumatized. Either way, I'm desperate to see how this extra burden plays out. I've heard some great things about this book so far and wish I didn't have to wait until June to read it for myself!

What about you? What are you desperately anxious for? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
