"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Pointe by Brandy Colbert
Publisher: Penguin
Publication Date: April 10, 2014
Summary (from Goodreads):
Theo is better now.
She's eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer. But when her oldest friend, Donovan, returns home after spending four long years with his kidnapper, Theo starts reliving memories about his abduction—and his abductor.
Donovan isn't talking about what happened, and even though Theo knows she didn't do anything wrong, telling the truth would put everything she's been living for at risk. But keeping quiet might be worse.
Another Friday the Thirteeners book. Also, I don't read nearly enough tough-issue contemporary novels, or dance-related novels. And I like Brandy, so, yeah :)
Pretty cover :D Sounds like an awesome book! I hope you will love it when you read it. <3 Great pick :)

Wow! This sounds really intriguing! I love stories that involve dance and the fact this sounds a bit thriller like makes it even more neat! Great pick girl! <3
ReplyDeleteI haven't read too many that involve dance, but the thriller part interests me. Thank you, Jess!
DeleteI've seen this book around a lot lately :) Sounds very interesting! Great pick.

My WW!
This sounds a lot scarier than it looks from the cover! I love stories about ballet, so I'll have to read this for sure. Great choice! Here's my WOW.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE! It sounds like there is so much more to it. I hope you do read it sometime, Tammy! Thank you.
DeleteOh boy! Definitely sounds like an interesting read. Tough issues indeed! Thanks for spotlighting this and the Friday the Thirteener authors too! Will definitely be checking them out.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW at Bookmunchies (:
Glad to hear that, Cyn! I'm always more than happy to support the Thirteeners.
DeleteThis sounds intense! I hadn't heard of it before but I am definitely adding it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteEmily @ Falling For YA
Now you have! I hope you read it, Emily.
DeleteDon't read Dance of Shadows. That book is rubbish. It's a dance related book that I definitely wouldn't recommend!
ReplyDeleteHowever, this boook does look pretty good and the whole mystery definitely intrigues me <3 I think I've got this book on my TBR already :')
An amazing pick!!
Sam @ Falling Books
I won't lol - I trust you! And here's to hoping this one is better for you!
DeleteDefinitely going to read this one! It looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
My WoW
I have been waiting for this book for so long! My passion, other than reading, is ballet. However, I know there are darker risks to dance (like eating disorders) and I think adding the mystery/abduction aspects to the ballet aspects will make Pointe a compelling read. Awesome pick!

Ooo, that is so cool, Emily! And I agree - I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Thank you!
DeleteInteresting choice. I haven't heard of this one before, but looks like one that I'll be keeping my eye on.

Awesome! Good to hear.
DeleteOh yes! I've had this one on my tbr for a while. It sounds like it will be really emotional. I hope we both enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW.
YAY! That makes me happy. I hope it is! And YES - we shall :D
DeleteOMG YES!!! DYING TO READ THIS! AND THAT COVER
ReplyDeleteYAY ME TOO! lol
DeleteI added this one to my TBR list a while back! I did ballet as a girl so any book about ballet and dancing draw me in, and this one sounds creepy and mysterious! I'm hoping it won't be a disappointment as the other one I read...
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope this one does not disappoint you, Pili! Hopefully, it will blow you away :)
DeleteI haven't seen this one before, but it certainly sounds interesting! Will look into it!
ReplyDeleteThis one definitely sounds interesting! And dark. And kind of mysterious. I do like my dark contemporary, so although dance novels aren't really my thing, I may have to give this one a shot anyway. I hope you get your hands on it soon and that you love it! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm glad to hear that, Jess! I don't read dance novels (not my thing either), but I think this one will be interesting. Thank you! <3
DeleteI love dark issue books because they are different and because they make you question everything. Great pick girl and happy early thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more people like you :)
Exactly! It's great on many ends.
DeleteAnd OMG thank you so much, Nereyda! <3 <3 <3 <3
I also don't read enough dance novels! In fact, I can't think of a single one... But, I like the sound of this and I LOOOVE the cover! So pretty. Great pick and have a happy Thanksgiving Alyssa!! :)
ReplyDeleteMe either! I actually don't think I've read any! But I agree - the cover is amazing. Thank you, Rachel!
