"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
The Other Life by Susanne Winnacker
Sherry and her family have lived sealed in a bunker in the garden since things went wrong up above. Her grandfather has been in the freezer for the last three months, her parents are at each other’s throats and two minutes ago they ran out of food.
Sherry and her father leave the safety of the bunker and find a devastated and empty LA, smashed to pieces by bombs and haunted by ‘Weepers’ - rabid humans infected with a weaponized rabies virus.
While searching for food in a supermarket, Sherry’s father disappears and Sherry is saved by Joshua, a boy-hunter. He takes her to Safe-haven, a tumble-down vineyard in the hills outside LA, where a handful of other survivors are picking up the pieces of their ‘other lives’. As she falls in love for the first time, Sherry must save her father, stay alive and keep Joshua safe when his desire for vengeance threatens them all.
Um, may I have this NOW please? Sounds like dystopia at its best! :)

I think the world may really end at the rate people are writing dystopians--darn you, Hunger Games! I didn't know if I should laugh or cry when I read Grandpa had been in the freezer 3 months! That's deep.
ReplyDeleteEverybody's saying how sick they are getting from dystopians, but I keep saying bring them on. I am excited for THE OTHER LIFE and it's still so far off. I want it to be here now.
