Waiting on Wednesday: Through to You

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and specifically spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. As always, there are some amazing upcoming books, but this week I'm particularly excited for...

Title: Through to You
Author: Emily Hainsworth
Publisher: Balzer & Bray
Publish Date: October 2, 2012
Genre: YA, Paranormal
Pages: 272

Camden Pike has been grief-stricken since his girlfriend, Viv, died. Viv was the last good thing in his life: helping him rebuild his identity after a career-ending football injury, picking up the pieces when his home life shattered, and healing his pain long after the meds wore off. And now, he’d give anything for one more glimpse of her. But when Cam makes a visit to the site of Viv’s deadly car accident, he sees some kind of apparition. And it isn’t Viv.

The apparition’s name is Nina, and she’s not a ghost. She’s a girl from a parallel world, and in this world, Viv is still alive. Cam can’t believe his wildest dreams have come true. All he can focus on is getting his girlfriend back, no matter the cost. But things are different in this other world: Viv and Cam have both made very different choices, things between them have changed in unexpected ways, and Viv isn’t the same girl he remembers. Nina is keeping some dangerous secrets, too, and the window between the worlds is shrinking every day.

I haven't really been enticed by a paranormal novel in a good while. There have been far too many vampires and werewolves recently (in my humble opinion), and while I don't necessarily need something new...I need something different. Through to You sounds like just what the doctor ordered! I love me some ghost stories, especially when they're darker and just a touch sinister. Plus, I do like that this is from a male POV, which is something we don't see all too often in YA. All in all, this could just be a hit! Fingers crossed and all that. What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
