Can't Wait Wednesday (195)


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: What if everything you knew about the people you loved was a lie?

After the death of their absentee father, Aaron and Bridge Quinlan travel to a vast rainforest property in the Pacific Northwest to hear the reading of his will. There, they meet up with their mother and troubled sister, Franny, and are shocked to discover the will’s terms: in order to claim their inheritance they must remain at the estate for thirty days without any contact with the outside world. Despite their concerns, they agree.

The Quinlans soon come to learn their family has more secrets than they ever imagined—revelations that at first inspire curiosity, then fear. Why does Bridge have faint memories of the estate? Why did their father want them to be sequestered there together? And what is out there they feel pulling them into the dark heart of the woods?

The Homecoming is at once a gripping mystery, a chilling exploration of how our memories can both define and betray us, and a riveting page-turner that will have you questioning your very existence.

WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I basically just like the sounds of this one.  I do rather enjoy reading about dysfunctional families and I've heard good things about Pyper.  I'm pretty sure I even have a few of his other books on my shelves somewhere so I guess it's time I give him a try.

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU WAITING FOR THIS WEEK???

  17. Oh hello, this sounds so creepy! Doubly so when you consider a dysfunctional family locked together in a house. I almost feel like the house itself it out to get them!
