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...

Laura and Alec are trained terrorists. Jack and Aubrey are high school students.There was no reason for them to ever meet.But now, a mysterious virus is spreading throughout America, infecting teenagers with impossible powers. And these four are about to find their lives intertwined in a complex web of deception, loyalty, and catastrophic danger—where one wrong choice could trigger an explosion that ends it all.
Have I ever professed my love of X-Men on this blog before? If I've failed to do so, please allow me to share with you my not so mild obsession with the general concept of people having powers. Add to that the fact that Robison Wells is an author's whose work I admire, praise and slightly worship, and I can honestly say that I'm pretty dang stoked to get my grubby little paws on Black Out. It sounds like we're in for a ride with this one, and any time a book can throw me for a loop, I'm sold. What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
Great pick, Melissa. :) This one sounds awesome, and I LOVE x-men too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Renu! I'm glad there are other little nerdlets out there just like me! :)

I agree, Dannielle! I've yet to be disappointed by his books!
DeleteI'm definitely waiting on this one too Melissa! I share you love of X Men (I mean honestly, how can you not love them?), so any book that features people with powers I'm a huge fan of. So excited for this!

ReplyDeleteNatflix&Books' WoW
Definitely do! I think you'd like how insanely entertaining his books are :)

Old Follower :)
I'm with you! I like being thrown for a loop in a book. You sold me.. now I want it too! Bad blogger! ;)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy books with people with special talents too! Especially when one's mind moves objects. The summary makes the book sounds exciting! Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI haven't really heard of this one, but it sounds really good! I can't wait to see what the initial responses are like, but I hope they're excellent! Thanks for putting this on my radar, Melissa! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm with you! I love the X-Men!! This sounds like a slightly scary because it could be true great novel. I haven't read any of Robison Wells works, but I will put this one on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHeather
Oh, I am all about the X-Men superpower type story, too! Can never get enough of those.
ReplyDeleteI agree this sounds pretty cool-I love the idea of X-Men superpowers (I'd want to be able to read minds but with the ability to turn that power off!)
