Can't Wait Wednesday (181)


Can't Wait Wednesday 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:  “I whisper the word, and my soul feels as light as air… Revenge.”

Lakin Hale, true crime writer and victim of an attack that left her for dead, has written numerous bestsellers under an assumed identity, helping crime solvers and victims close cold cases, yet there is one crime she hasn’t been able to solve:

Her own.

As she embarks on a new case, working closely with local authorities, the details of the murder begin to eerily resemble the event that nearly ended her life. A silhouette of a man haunts her dreams, but there were only two people there that night—Lakin and her murderer. Is her phantom hero who pulled her from the water real, or is he a devil sent to torment her, sparked by her desire for vengeance? 

Buried in a watery grave of lotus flowers, the victim calls out to Lakin, unearthing painful memories of what was stolen from her that fateful night. For those that played a part, it’s now time to answer for their sins.

WHY I CAN'T WAIT:  The premise of the author writing under and assumed identity sounds pretty interesting and I want to know what happened to her almost as much as she probably does.  Thrillers can be hit or miss but I think this is classified more as a mystery so all is good.


WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???

  1. I can't wait for Andy Davidson's next book. I loved In the Valley of the Sun (a vampire, literary horror novel and his debut). The Goodreads tag for Lotus Effect is captivating!

  7. Thrillers are hit-or-miss for me, too. But this sounds like it has a different twist.
