"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.
A dark, romantic YA suspense novel with an SF edge and plenty of drama, layering the secrets we keep and how appearances can deceive, from the New York Times bestselling author.
In this tiny, terrifying town, the lost are never found. When Araceli Flores Harper is sent to live with her great-aunt Ottilie in her ramshackle Victorian home, the plan is simple. She'll buckle down and get ready for college. Life won't be exciting, but she'll cope, right?
Wrong. From the start, things are very, very wrong. Her great-aunt still leaves food for the husband who went missing twenty years ago, and local businesses are plastered with MISSING posters. There are unexplained lights in the woods and a mysterious lab just beyond the city limits that the locals don't talk about. Ever. When she starts receiving mysterious letters that seem to be coming from the past, she suspects someone of pranking her or trying to drive her out of her mind. To solve these riddles and bring the lost home again, Araceli must delve into a truly diabolical conspiracy, but some secrets fight to stay buried...
Heartwood Box by Ann Aguirre is due to be published July 9th, 2019 from Tor Teen.
Why am I waiting on this one? This one sounds different to me. Sure, there's a young girl being sent to her aunt, but it's the town that's really weird. There are so many missing people, including her uncle from 20 years before. Why haven't at least some of them been found? What's going on here? How is she going to solve the mystery and not become one of the missing herself?

I've wanted this one for a long time. Glad the wait is almost over - or at least it's getting closer.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it until this week. It reminds me a little of your pick with people disappearing in both. Hope we both enjoy it!
