SynopsisWhy I'm Waiting
Eve has a new home, a new face, and a new name—but no memories of her past. She’s been told that she's in a witness protection program. That she escaped a dangerous magic-wielding serial killer who still hunts her. The only thing she knows for sure is that there is something horrifying in her memories the people hiding her want to access—and there is nothing they won’t say—or do—to her to get her to remember.
At night she dreams of a tattered carnival tent and buttons being sewn into her skin. But during the day, she shelves books at the local library, trying to not let anyone know that she can do things—things like change the color of her eyes or walk through walls. When she does use her strange powers, she blacks out and is drawn into terrifying visions, returning to find that days or weeks have passed—and she’s lost all short-term memories. Eve must find out who and what she really is before the killer finds her—but the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined. (Goodreads)
The whole "buttons being sewn into her skin" line promises enough creepy factor to have me extremely intrigued. Also, I can't deny the allure of a "dangerous magic-wielding serial killer." I have yet to read Durst's Vessel, though I fully intend to sometime in the future. I'm definitely excited for Conjured! It sounds like a thrilling read that I can't wait to get my hands on.
What is everyone else waiting on this week? Let me know in the comments!
Sounds trippy cool.
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm so excited for this one, too. The buttons. *shivers* As soon as I read the words magic-wielding serial killer I was sold. I haven't read Vessel either, but I really liked Eat, Slay, Love. And I love this Hellraiser cover. Great pick!

Wasn't a massive fan of Vessel, but this one certainly sounds good! I'm excited to check it out since the buttons add the creep factor but there is also a mystery aspect! great pick!

Ooh, this sounds really good! I haven't read anything by Sarah Beth Durst, but she has another book called The Lost coming out in October that I just heard about and had to add to my TBR list... Going to have to add Conjured, as well!

READ VESSEL. I don't care if this one sounds like more of a "you" book, Vessel is just too good for you to keep putting it off. Although I suppose you could read both and make both of us happy then. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of this, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so amazing! I haven't read Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst, though I can't wait for this one.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds beyond creepy! The line about the buttons that intrigued you is the same line that had me thinking heck no. LoL
