Waiting on Wednesday #95: The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature created by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is where you showcase an upcoming release you're anxiously awaiting!

This week, I'm waiting on:
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma.

Expected Publication: March 24, 2015
by: Algonquin Young Readers.

Goodreads Synopsis:
“Ori’s dead because of what happened out behind the theater, in the tunnel made out of trees. She’s dead because she got sent to that place upstate, locked up with those monsters. And she got sent there because of me.”

The Walls Around Us is a ghostly story of suspense told in two voices—one still living and one long dead. On the outside, there’s Violet, an eighteen-year-old dancer days away from the life of her dreams when something threatens to expose the shocking truth of her achievement. On the inside, within the walls of a girls’ juvenile detention center, there’s Amber, locked up for so long she can’t imagine freedom. Tying these two worlds together is Orianna, who holds the key to unlocking all the girls’ darkest mysteries.

We hear Amber’s story and Violet’s, and through them Orianna’s, first from one angle, then from another, until gradually we begin to get the whole picture—which is not necessarily the one that either Amber or Violet wants us to see.

Nova Ren Suma tells a supernatural tale of guilt and innocence, and what happens when one is mistaken for the other.

Why I'm excited:
After reading Nova Ren Suma's 17 & Gone, I knew that I was going to want to read basically anything else she wrote, so this is a clear choice because of that. It also just sounds like a fantastic read with a lot going on and a lot to uncover. I'm wildly intrigued so of course I have to know what happens. And since it's Suma, I have a feeling it's going to be intense.

What are you waiting on this week?

  1. I haven't read anything by Nova Ren Suma yet, despite having all her books on my wishlist, but this might be the first one I do as it sounds so intriguing. Great pick!
