Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post started by Breaking the Spine, to show books that we are patiently waiting for.
The book we're waiting for this week is:
Vigilante Nights by Erin Richards
Expected publication: July 18th 2013 by Merit Press
Book Description:
A "good boy" will do anything for vengeance when a gang rite kills his twin sister. Will Lucas win, or follow his sister Silver into the darkness?
After a hideous car wreck, Lucas wakes from a coma to find that his world is gutted. Not only is his beloved twin sister, Silver, gone forever, but Lucas is broken in body and spirit. He will never be a college athlete, and is robbed of what he now realizes was the most important bond of his life. Although they weren't identical twins, Lucas and Silver shared a bond so fierce it defied reason, and was nearly supernatural.
After her death, that bond seems to endure when Lucas sees Silver everywhere he turns. Either he's crazy, or Silver is trying to tell him something about the California gang initiation they stumbled into that cost Silver her life. Lucas is bent on revenge, turning on Raymond, Silver's former boyfriend; the one Lucas never wanted her to date. He forms a posse of vigilantes to take out the gangsters responsible for Silver's death, but he risks not only his own life, but the love of the new girl on his block, who knows more about Lucas and Silver than can be accounted for by mere chance.

Oh this is a brilliant pick Danielle, I totally agree the premise to this sounds fantastic! Thanks for putting it on my radar! :)
ReplyDeleteOh!! This sounds so good! :) Thanks for introducing me to this book. It's the first time I've heard of it! (Also: I can't believe I haven't been following you via GFC! I just found out a minute ago. No wonder I don't see your posts on blogger dashboard thingy!)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. Sort of sad, but definitely unique. I haven't read anything like this before.

Ohh, this sounds thrilling, but difficult to read. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, though.
This sounds heartbreaking but exciting. Wonderful choice, Dannielle
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard of this book but it sounds really good. I will have to check it out. Great pick!
