Waiting On is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Patrick Ness - More Than ThisMore Than This by Patrick Ness

Pre-order: Amazon | Barnes & Noble |  The Book Depository

From two-time Carnegie Medal winner Patrick Ness comes an enthralling and provocative new novel chronicling the life — or perhaps afterlife — of a teen trapped in a crumbling, abandoned world.

A boy named Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighborhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust, and completely abandoned. What’s going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this. . . .

Why I’m waiting?

That cover, everyone. That is a gorgeous cover. And the synopsis, that is one intriguing plot. Crumbling, abandoned world? Sign me up! (To read it, not to exist in that world.)

    I wonder if this will be a dystopian read or fantasy or sci fi? Very mysterious! I’ve always wanted to try Patrick Ness, so I might finally get around to it with this one. Great pick! :-)

    I do like that cover a lot. I’ve never read anything by Patrick Ness, but I do want to give his original series a try.
