Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted at Breaking the Spine. Here are the upcoming releases that I'm not-so-patiently waiting for!
By: Jill Hathaway
Release Date: 3/27/12
Synopsis from goodreads.com:
Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth—her sister’s friend Sophie didn’t kill herself. She was murdered.
Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn’t actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she passes out, she slides into somebody else’s mind and experiences the world through that person’s eyes. She’s slid into her sister as she cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class. She learned the worst about a supposed “friend” when she slid into her during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie’s slashed body.
Vee desperately wishes she could share her secret, but who would believe her? It sounds so crazy that she can’t bring herself to tell her best friend, Rollins, let alone the police. Even if she could confide in Rollins, he has been acting off lately, more distant, especially now that she’s been spending more time with Zane.
Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.

Why I'm waiting for this title:
I had the privilege of obtaining a review copy of this title a few months ago, and I simply loved it! This book is intense, and I was hooked on page one. I can't wait to buy a finished copy to add to my collection of amazing books!
What books are you waiting for?
I've seen this one a couple of times now, and I have to say, it still reminds me of Lisa McMann's Wake. Glad you enjoyed it! Nice pick.

This one seems to be a popular pick for this week’s WoW and for good reason too! I am also really excited for this book. I love a good murder mystery book and the twist with her having the visions that appear like narcolepsy sounds really good! Great pick! :D
