"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:
The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Publication Date: January 13, 2014
Summary (from Goodreads):
To fight her destiny as the missing heir to a powerful and dangerous secret society, sixteen-year-old Avery West must solve an ancient puzzle in a deadly race across Europe. Forbidden love and code-breaking, masked balls and explosions, destiny and dark secrets collide in this romantic thriller, in the vein of a YA DaVinci Code.
Avery West's newfound family can shut down Prada at the Champs-Elysees when they want to shop in peace, and can just as easily order a bombing when they want to start a war.
They are part of a powerful and dangerous secret society called the Circle of Twelve, and Avery is their missing heir. If they discover who she is, some of them will want to use her as a pawn. Some will want her dead.
To thwart their plans, Avery must follow a trail of clues from the landmarks of Paris to the back alleys of Istanbul and through a web of ancient legends and lies. And unless she can stay one step ahead of beautiful, volatile Stellan, who knows she’s more than she seems, and can decide whether to trust mysterious, magnetic Jack, she may be doomed after all.
Okay, yes, it's contemporary... but it's thriller-ish, and it sounds great! Europe! Forbidden love! Secret society! :D
This sounds like a fun read... wonder what the cover will be like.

DeleteThis makes me think of Ally Carter's Heist Society! Which I LOVE, so I'm in! (Oh, and look! The synopsis on Goodreads mentions Ally Carter! I'm so good.) I can't decide if I like the new title better than the old one, but whatever. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Alyssa!

DeleteI thought this book sounded so cool, but then I read somewhere that there would be a love triangle.... ugh. There seems to be so many next year. :(
ReplyDeleteAm now seeing this comment O_O I hate to hear that, ughhh! But I still want to read the book. Hopefully there won't be one...
