Waiting on Wednesday: Slide

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted Jill over at Breaking the Spine that features upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating.

This week's not-yet-published "need-to-read-now" selection is:

Slide by Jill Hathaway
Publishing 3.27.2012

Summary from Goodreads: Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth—her sister’s friend Sophie didn’t kill herself. She was murdered.

Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn’t actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she passes out, she slides into somebody else’s mind and experiences the world through that person’s eyes. She’s slid into her sister as she cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class. She learned the worst about a supposed “friend” when she slid into her during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie’s slashed body.

Vee desperately wishes she could share her secret, but who would believe her? It sounds so crazy that she can’t bring herself to tell her best friend, Rollins, let alone the police. Even if she could confide in Rollins, he has been acting off lately, more distant, especially now that she’s been spending more time with Zane.

Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.

"Jill Hathaway provides a fresh, vibrant voice to young adult literature. Skillfully filled with drama and tension, SLIDE is part mystery, part romance, and wholly engaging with its strong heroine and tornado-worthy twists. I simply could not put this book down."
-Laurie Stolarz, author of the DEADLY LITTLE SECRET series


"Heartbreaking and heart-pounding at the same time! A wonderful, intense story, SLIDE had me hooked from the first moment Vee slid into someone else's mind. I stayed up way too late because I had to see how it ended."
-Cynthia Hand, author of the UNEARTHLY series

I've seen the trailer for Slide at least a million times. Honestly, I play it so much that my younger sister wants to read it as well! Plus I have it on pre-order, and I am eagerly waiting!28 days until I can read this book! 256 pages! I absolutely can not wait!

It's been a long time since I've read something like this- a paranormal thriller aimed at teens. It seems intriguing, invigorating and absolutely amazing! I can't believe it has it all- a mystery, romance and all with a comtemporary twist!
