Waiting on Wednesday: The Dollhouse Asylum

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 The Dollhouse Asylum by Mary Gray!

Goodreads summary:

A virus that had once been contained has returned, and soon no place will be left untouched by its destruction. But when Cheyenne wakes up in Elysian Fields--a subdivision cut off from the world and its monster-creating virus--she is thrilled to have a chance at survival.

At first, Elysian Fields,with its beautiful houses and manicured lawns, is perfect. Teo Richardson, the older man who stole Cheyenne's heart, built it so they could be together. But when Teo tells Cheyenne there are tests that she and seven other couples must pass to be worthy of salvation, Cheyenne begins to question the perfection of his world.

The people they were before are gone. Cheyenne is now "Persephone," and each couple has been re-named to reflect the most tragic romances ever told. Everyone is fighting to pass the test, to remain in Elysian Fields. Teo dresses them up, tells them when to move and how to act, and in order to pass the test, they must play along.

If they play it right, then they'll be safe.

But if they play it wrong, they'll die.

My thoughts:

This is already one of most anticipated books for 2013.  It sounds SO GOOD.  It's such a unique concept and I can't wait to see how it turns out in the story! 

I'm already dying to know who the different couples are that are being renamed.  I bet Romeo and Juliet is one of them!  And maybe Heathcliff and Cathy from Wuthering  Heights.  If you have any guesses, let me know in the comments. :)

And of course, please leave a link to your WoW so I can check it out.  Thanks for stopping by!
