"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 Becoming of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin
Book One of the Shaw Confessions series
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: November 7, 2017
Summary (from Goodreads):
In the first book of the Shaw Confessions, the companion series to the New York Times bestselling Mara Dyer novels, old skeletons are laid bare and new promises prove deadly. This is what happens after happily ever after.
Everyone thinks seventeen-year-old Noah Shaw has the world on a string.
They’re wrong.
Mara Dyer is the only one he trusts with his secrets and his future.
He shouldn’t.
And both are scared that uncovering the truth about themselves will force them apart.
They’re right.
I NEED THIS. It has been so long since I read the Mara Dyer trilogy - I'll definitely need to reread the books. But this new book is an instant preorder for me!
I'm still a newbie to this author's works...but your enthusiasm is contagious! ^-^
ReplyDeleteYAY! Thank you! You should binge-read the trilogy!
DeleteHad no idea they were doing a companion book. Neato!
ReplyDeleteRight? Actually it's an entire companion series!
DeleteHUH! I didn't know about this one coming out. I've only read the first Mara Dyer book but I remember I really liked it even though it screwed with my head. Haha
ReplyDeleteI'm excited! You should read the rest of the series, Stephanie! I desperately need to reread the books - they were trippy!
DeleteI had no idea about this until I saw you post it yesterday on GR. I am now, more than ever, so motivated to read books 2 and 3, just to get to Noah's book.
ReplyDeleteSam @ WLABB
Oooo! I hope you enjoy the rest of the original trilogy, and this book, Sam!
DeleteSooooo excited for this one!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Yaaaassss!
DeleteI still haven't read the last one, so I'm eager to read it now!
ReplyDelete@TeacherofYA
You must, Stephanie! =)
DeleteOkay so I couldn't read anything about this one because I saw the cover and author and just knew it would be related to Mara Dyer series which I sadly have not yet read but I do plan to read in the future. Now I guess I have more of a reason to do so ;)
ReplyDeleteYES! Mara-Dyer-related indeed! You should binge-read the series, Eve. It's a good one!
DeleteAh, I just saw this was out today! YAY for another Mara Dyer book int he series!
ReplyDeleteNovember, not today! But the cover has been released. I'm excited!
DeleteI haven't read the Mara Dyer series yet but I love when authors write companion novels! I hope you get to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping this companion series doesn't break my heart! *crosses fingers*
DeleteLooks like its time for me to finally read the Mara Dyer series. This one sounds amazing, and gives me the perfect excuse to read the original series. I hope you enjoy this one when it comes out :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my WOW
YES! Do it, Aneta! I'm sure you won't regret it. ;D
DeleteI haven't read the original trilogy, but that's awesome there is a spin-off series. I hope you love it just as much!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI've only read the first Mara Dyer book, but loved it, need to hurry up and finish it. Especially now that I see there will be a companion series! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
Yaaaasss! You're very welcome, Lisa. ^_^
DeleteSo don't kill me, but I never read the Mara Dyer trilogy. I've been wanting to read it, seriously I have, but I want to have the physical books to read them. But once I saw this, I went crazy! That cover is just beyond gorgeous and creepy and I love it!
ReplyDelete*brandishes pitchfork*
DeleteHehehe I'm kidding! You should definitely read the original trilogy, Genesis! So good!
I haven't gotten the chance to read anything from this author yet, but I'll have to check out the original trilogy. The cover for this one is really pretty. I hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteYou should, Julie! Thank you. <3
DeleteOh my goodness! I had no idea this was in the works. Is it a new storyline or Noah's POV on the first trilogy? If it's a new story then on the one hand, YES. On the other...haven't these characters been through enough?! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a new storyline! I saw some things about it being a parallel story to the Mara Dyer book one but given the synopsis, I don't think that's the case... I'm pretty sure it takes place after the Mara Dyer trilogy.
DeleteBUT ACTUALLY! Leave the children alone! *cries* I hope things end better? Maybe? *hides Noah and Mara*
I haven't read anything by Mara Dyer, but this summary sounds great. It leaves me with a lot of questions and a book I will want to pickup! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I had so many questions while reading the Mara Dyer books, and I'm sure this book will be no different. Thank you, Kristyn!
DeleteNew to me, looks good though. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lily!
DeleteWow, a companion series! That sounds like such a cool idea. I have not read the Mara Dyer novels though, but I've heard of them and they seem very well received. This one should be fun for fans :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
You should give them a chance, Mogsy! Such a twisted, trippy series. :D
DeleteI've never read the Mara Dyer series, but this book sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
You are missing out, Ronyell!
DeleteI have been wanting to read Mara Dyer trilogy for so long! Now this is releasing, I NEED to get to these books!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Can't Wait Wednesday
You should binge-read the books, Priyanka!
DeleteI haven't read the Mara Dyer series but my daughter loved them. This new series sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too!
DeleteWow this looks SO good :) I love the premise, but the cover is especially amazing. Hope you enjoy when you read it, Alyssa! Thanks for visiting my WoW yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteAmy @ A Magical World Of Words
Right? Thank you, Amy!
DeleteThis book only popped up on my radar a few weeks ago. I didn't realize there would be another series in this world. I only read book 1 but I have them all. I will definitely be going back to re-read this series. If you want to do a buddy read on this series, let me know cause I'm down for it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be an entire trilogy, actually! I'm excited! I loved the first trilogy. :D I may actually take you up on the buddy read!
DeleteAwesome pick! I loved the Mara Dyer series because of Noah. In fact, I thought the final book in the series wasn't quite as good as the first two simply because there wasn't enough of him. I can't wait to get my hands on this book as well! Thanks for stopping by my WoW.
ReplyDeleteNOAH! He is one of my all-time favorites. I've heard a lot of people say that they weren't quite satisfied with the third book (it was good but missing something?). So I'm really excited about this new book. :D
DeleteOMG I NEED THIS BOOK ASDFGHJKL!! *flails*
ReplyDeleteBrittany @ Brittany's Book Rambles
Saaaame! It needs to be here like yesterday!
DeleteI have a confession...I haven't read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer!! The series sounds amazing though, and the covers are beautiful. I think the series has just just fallen through the cracks for me.
ReplyDeleteSHAME ON YOU, GENNI. :O (I'm kidding!) You might enjoy the original trilogy!
DeleteI better read Mara Dyer series before this is available, I have them, its just finding time.
ReplyDeleteSAME! I need to do some binge-re-reading!
DeleteWow, I didn't even know about this series coming out. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! ^_^
DeleteAhh, it looks SO SO SO GORGEOUS. <3 I still haven't read book three :( But I will read them all before this one is out. <3 I AM SO EXCITED TOO :D
ReplyDeleteIt does! I hope we love this one!
DeleteI only read the first book in the Mara Dyer trilogy. I don't know why I never finished the series. I hope you enjoy reading this companion series.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Thank you, Sandra!
