Waiting on Wednesday (#148): Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke


"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:


Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke
Publisher: Dial Books
Publication Date: March 22, 2015

Summary (from Goodreads):

The intrigue of The Virgin Suicides and the "supernatural or not" question of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer coalesce in this young adult mystery, where nothing is quite as it seems, no one is quite who you think, and everything can change on a dime.

Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret.

Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Wink. Poppy. Midnight. Two girls. One boy. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous.

What really happened?
Someone knows.
Someone is lying.

For fans of Holly Black, We Were Liars, and The Raven Boys, this mysterious tale full of intrigue, dread, beauty, and a whiff of something strange will leave you utterly entranced.

    Ooooh, good choice. I just finished reading this one and it is SO worth all the hype it's getting. Incredible writing, bizarre complicated characters---I hope you get to read it soon and love it as much as I did, Alyssa!

    I didn't even know about this book until Kristen from My Friends Are Fiction hosted a giveaway. I was kind of reluctant because the cover didn't exactly draw me in. But I looked it up on Goodreads and I added it to my TBR :D I didn't know it was the same author that wrote "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea." I also have that on my TBR!!

    I liked her first duology, but I didn't loved it (I know you did!). Her writing is beautiful though and so is this cover. I'm looking forward to this one too!
