Can't Wait Wednesday, which I have adapted to better suit my blog as "Feed Your TBR" is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
FROM GOODREADS: Knives Out meets The Hazel Wood in this twisty contemporary fantasy about an amusement park shrouded in dark secrets—and the family desperate to inherit it at any cost.
Welcome to Whisperwood, a sprawling theme park nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, where thrilling rides and picture-perfect scenery bring cult-classic fairy tales to life. Or at least they did until eighteen months ago, when the family matriarch, Virginia Strauss, suddenly shut Whisperwood’s gates and the beloved park was left to wither away along with the family’s dwindling fortune.
For seventeen-year-old Frankie Strauss, Whisperwood's closure has been a blessing in disguise. After seeing three generations of wealth’s corrupting influence, she is more than ready to shed the Strauss-family's gilded handcuffs.
But when Virginia goes missing, Frankie realizes that her family might be guilty of something much worse than mere dysfunction. With the help of the mysterious and handsome groundskeeper, Jem, Frankie sifts through a web of near truths and outright lies, uncovering a reality where nothing is as it seems, and fairy tales aren’t just real—they’re deadly.

WHY I CAN'T WAIT: So, I admit it was the cover that initially caught my attention. And while I am a bit concerned this is YA, it is tagged as horror and does mention a decrepit theme park so that sold me.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK????
What an amazing setting for a creepy mystery:)). I can see why the cover pulled you in.
ReplyDeleteThat cover grabbed my attention, too. It's so beautiful. I don't usually do YA, but it really sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting and the cover is very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is awesome, I would have picked it out based on that alone. And a creepy amusement park sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding this to my wishlist right now. I can't resist a book set at a theme park, especially a neglected one. Thanks for sharing! :)
