Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and it is a way to show off the books you can't wait to be released!!
This week I chose:
"Revel"
by Maurissa GuibordDelacorte
Release Date: Feb 12, 2013
The following description is from goodreads.com:Oooh, sounds so creepy! I love this type of story, and there's not long to wait, it comes out next week!
There’s an island off the coast of Maine that’s not on any modern map.
Shrouded in mist and protected by a deadly reef, Trespass Island is home to a community of people who guard the island and its secrets from outsiders. Seventeen-year-old Delia grew up in Kansas, but has come here in search of her family and answers to her questions: Why didn’t her mother ever talk about Trespass Island? Why did she fear the open water? But Delia’s not welcome and soon finds herself enmeshed in a frightening and supernatural world where ancient Greek symbols adorn the buildings and secret ceremonies take place on the beach at night.
Sean Gunn, a handsome young lobsterman, befriends Delia and seems willing to risk his life to protect her. But it’s Jax, the coldly elusive young man she meets at the water’s edge, who finally makes Delia understand the real dangers of life on the island. Delia is going to have to fight to survive. Because there are monsters here. And no one ever leaves Trespass alive.
What are you waiting for this week???

Creepy is good :)
I love water covers and stories that take place in coastal small towns.
I haven't heard of this one yet, but like the cover.
Hope you get to read it soon!

This sounds good, I love books about small towns and islands. There also might be some Greek Mythology (which I also love) thrown in there, considering the Greek symbols. Great pick! :)
I know this is kind of a weird comment, but isn't there an actor named Sean Gunn? I'm pretty sure he played Kirk on Gilmore Girls. I don't know if I'd be able to take a hero seriously if he had that name!
I haven't heard much about this book but I recognise that pretty cover!
