Waiting On Wednesday: Secret by Brigid Kemmerer

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

My WOW pick of this week:

~Secret (Elemental #4) by Brigid Kemmerer

Paperback, 352 pages

Expected publication: January 28th 2014 by Kensington Teen

Nowhere is safe. Not even home…

Nick Merrick is stretched to the breaking point.

Keep his grades sky-high or he’ll never escape his hometown.
Keep his brother’s business going or the Merricks will be out on the street.
Keep the secret of where he’s going in the evenings from his own twin—-or he’ll lose his family.

Keep his mind off the hot, self-assured dancer who’s supposed to be his “girlfriend’s” partner.

Of course there’s also the homicidal freak Quinn has taken to hanging around, and the Elemental Guide counting the hours until he can try again to kill the Merrick brothers.

There’s a storm coming. From all sides. And then some.

Nick Merrick, can you keep it together?

I love this series! Although it's kind of been up and down for me. The first book? Awesome. The second? Way less. The third? FAB! So now I can only wait and see how the 4th one is going to be.
However... unlike the other covers, I do not like this one at all. But in the end it's the story that counts, right?

Teaser Tuesdays: Mind Games by Kiersten White

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB @ Should Be Reading.

Teaser:

What on earth can this stuttering-arms-and-legs-and-nervous-hands guy have done to get on Keane's hit list? I'll have to find out.

~Mind Games (Mind Games #1) by Kiersten White

Hardcover, 237 pages

Published February 19th 2013 by HarperTeen

Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future.

Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways…or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.

In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

I'm not far yet in this book so I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I think I lean more towards just okay, but like I said I'm not yet far in, so we'll see where this brings brings me.
