Why’d I do it? I suppose it’s the only question that really matters.Seventeen-year-old Crow will stop at nothing to protect her younger sister—even if it costs her her own life. But then she’s given a chance to come back and make things right. There are a few catches, though. First, she won’t come back as herself. And before she can set things straight, she’ll have to figure out what’s what—and things aren’t exactly as clear-cut as she remembered.
You know me and dark books, guys. I get the feeling from this itty bitty synopsis alone that Mayday is going to offer us all that and more. I love that it's vague enough to hook me, but tells me just enough to know that there are some hard-hitting stakes at play. Plus, I love books that play off of a powerful family dynamic, which it sounds as though this does. I'm sold. What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
My first thought before I read your comment below the synopsis was that this is a great issue book for Melissa! Sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! I read the blurb, and I was like, sold! Didn't take me long at all haha ;)
DeleteTalk about a hook! I am definitely curious now, I can't wait for its release! I hadn't heard of this book until now, so thanks for putting it on my radar! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! And I know...that hook is crazy awesome! I can't wait for this one :)
DeleteOh, this sounds dark and twisty! I'm totally intrigued, Melissa! Great choice. :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it?! I saw edgy and dark, and I was all "sign me up!"
DeleteThis is new to me! Sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

Thanks, Jessica! I can't wait for it :)
DeleteSounds very cool! I like the cover too!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's edgy and dark...but still fits into that fun little YA mold ;)
DeleteIt looks like I'm not fed up with girls on covers yet because I love this one! It sounds like I'll have to check it out for sure!(:
ReplyDeletehaha I'm fed up with girls in pretty dresses on covers, but upside down, warpy-twisty-craziness? Sold ;)
DeleteThis one sounds amazing :) I have this added to my tbr.

ReplyDeleteEl @ So Bookalicious
Of course! That's the beautiful of this meme :)
DeleteThis one definitely sounds like it's right up that dark alley you like! But the blurb's so short...I want to know more!! (In a good way...I'm intrigued!)

It does sound like a dark read that will make you think--I love the cover! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI love how vague that blurb is too Melissa! It raises so many questions and I absolutely have to know the answers, so I'll be picking this up in April for sure. March and April are crazy book release months, so much awesome!
ReplyDeleteSibling love! You know how much I adore it when sibling relationships are portrayed in a positive light in books. Plus, I love how intriguing that synopsis is, Melissa. It sure sounds like a book I wouldn't mind reading.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this before, so thanks for sharing, Melissa! :)
I just saw this for the first time last week. It does sound really interesting--who does she come back as? And that cover is very striking. Great pick!

I like the summary...if only it was a bit more detailed! Cool cover, too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic WOW choice :)
It sounds great. I saw on another blog that Francesca Lia Block has a new book coming out. I love her, so I'm really excited about that. The first five chapters are free on Amazon right now and I'm eager to dig in.
ReplyDeleteThe sister-sister relationship is of great interest to me so I'm most interested in that aspect-want to know more!
