Waiting on Wednesday: Fever by Lauren DeStefano



"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Fever (The Chemical Garden, #2)

Fever by Lauren DeStefano
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Expected Publication: February 21st 2012
Series: Second in the Chemical Garden Trilogy
Book Description:

Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.

The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.

In the sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price - now that she has more to lose than ever.

I loved Wither and the ending left me dying for more. I can`t wait to see what happens next for Rhine and Gabriel and the synopsis for this looks amazing. I mean creepy carnival? That sounds awesome. And the cover for this one is gorgeous it`s even prettier than the one for Wither. :)
