Waiting on Wednesday: Deception

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we can't wait to read.

My pick is Deception by C. J. Redwine!


Goodreads summary:

Baalboden has been ravaged. The brutal Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And Rachel, grief stricken over her father's death, needs Logan more than ever. With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival Carrington's army, who is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group decides to abandon the ruins of their home and take their chances in the Wasteland.



But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos and uncertainty of each day puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. Even worse, as it becomes clear that the Commander will stop at nothing to destroy them, the band of survivors begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.

In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.


My thoughts:

Ooh, look at that cover!  This gorgeous cover was just released yesterday and I totally love it.  I love how we can actually see Rachel's face!  And the clouds and swirls and colors are so prettyyy!

The summary has me super excited for this book now, too.  I quite enjoyed the first book in this series, Defiance, and I can't wait to see how Rachel and Logan's story continues!  It sounds like it will be full of action and adventure.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?  Leave a link to your WoW in the comments!  Happy reading everyone! :)
