Waiting on Wednesday (109)

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

This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers


It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up.

As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, everyone’s motivations to survive begin to change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life–and death–inside.

When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?


It's by uh, COURTNEY SUMMERS. Need I say more?

  20. I've never read a Courtney Summers book, but I always associate her with contemporary realistic YA. I guess she couldn't resist the lure of the paranormal. I'll check this out. Love the title.

  21. How funny! I love when the same book gets chosen two stops in a row. It does sound cool -- gotta love those zombie books.

  23. I heart me some Courtney Summers like no other, though I'm not really big on zombie/Apocalypse type things, but I plan on giving it a shot. Just because it's freaking Summers! lol
