“Waiting” on Wednesday #6

Nov 27, 2013

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spin, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly

anticipating.

This Week my Waiting on Wednesday is The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings

Expected Publication: June 10^th 2014

Publisher: Greenwillow – Harper Collins

Format: Hardcover (400 pages)

Series: The Murder Complex #1

Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopia, Thriller, Mystery, Romance

ISBN13: 9780062220004

Synopsis

An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna.

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?

Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.

This book sounds really interesting and different. I also haven’t read much Thriller or anything like that, but this book really pulls me. I also haven’t read anything about assassins and all that kind of stuff. So I think this will be a very new read for me as well.

This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?
