This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
When eighteen-year-old Lexi foresees the brutal murder of a girl outside a club in downtown L.A., she is powerless to stop it. But when the girl’s ghost appears, seeking vengeance, Lexi is swept into a dangerous search that could put her directly in the path of a serial killer. From the author of Devils Unto Dust, this fast-paced and literary thriller will haunt fans of Maureen Johnson’s Truly Devious and Karen M. McManus’s One of Us Is Lying.
With a touch, Lexi can sense how and when someone will die. Some say it’s a gift. But to Lexi it’s a curse—one that keeps her friendless and alone. All that changes when Lexi foresees the violent death of a young woman, Jane, outside a club. But Jane doesn’t go to the afterlife quietly. Her ghost remains behind, determined to hunt down her murderer, and she needs Lexi’s help. In life, Jane was everything Lexi is not—outgoing, happy, popular. But in death, all Jane wants is revenge. Lexi will do anything to help Jane, to make up for the fact that she didn’t—couldn’t—save Jane’s life, and to keep this beautiful ghost of a girl by her side for as long as possible.
Emma Berquist’s second novel is a haunting and atmospheric murder mystery that tackles themes of depression, loneliness, love, and identity. This high-concept novel is for fans of Holly Black’s The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.

Why I’m Waiting: In honor of Halloween I went with a thriller! It sounds pretty creepy too, so I think its a good choice. I mean, if you don’t think sensing how someone can die with just a touch isn’t creepy, Idk what to say lol And it says its for fans of Truly Devious and One of Us is Lying, both of which I adored! I can’t wait to see what this one is about!
Also, here’s my Halloween costume! I didn’t want to make y’all wait until Sunday when I posted my Instagram photos lolol
Any guesses who I am?
OOh this one sounds good! I love a good mystery that involves ghosts!! Definitely adding this one to my list!

That's everything I love in a book. It reminds me of a series I read back in the day but I can't remember the title. It had the same premise of a girl who could forsee murders. I think through touch.
Are you Cruella Deville à la Disney's Descendants??
Indeed I am lol And I remember one called Numbers where she could see the date or how many days you had to still live? Idk lol
lol Thank you! And I thought this one sounded good too! Definitely an interesting premise! Can't wait to see what it's about!
