Waiting On Wednesday (102)

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

Title: Panic

Author: Lauren Oliver

Expected Publication Date: March 4, 2014

Synopsis:

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

I love Lauren Oliver. Her books give me all kinds of warm fuzzy feelings. I'm super sad that the Delirium series has come to an end, but I am so happy to have a new book to look forward to. It also appears to be a stand-alone, which I love! Don't get me wrong, I love series, but having a whole story at once and not having to wait a year between books is awesome. I can't wait!
