Waiting On Wednesday ... Last Things

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

This week's pick is Last Things by Jacqueline West

Here is the Goodreads synopsis

When strange things start happening to local music idol Anders Thorson, everyone blames his number-one-fan, Thea. But is she out to hurt him? Or protect him?

High school senior Anders Thorson is unusually gifted. His band, Last Things, is legendary in their northern Minnesota hometown. With guitar skills that would amaze even if he weren’t only eighteen, Anders is the focus of head-turning admiration. And Thea Malcom, a newcomer to the insular town, is one of his admirers. Thea seems to turn up everywhere Anders goes: gigs at the local coffeehouse, guitar lessons, even in the woods near Anders’s home. When strange things start happening to Anders—including the disappearance of his beloved cat, then his sort-of girlfriend, and, somehow, his musical talent—blame immediately falls on Thea. But is she trying to hurt him? Or save him? Can he trust a girl who doesn’t seem to know the difference between dreams and reality? And how much are they both willing to compromise to get what they want? 

The entire premise of this novel is a guy sells his soul to the devil for musical talent. That alone would be enough to pique my interest. Add in girl who may be there to save him and I am sold. I cannot wait to read this and experience Anders and Thea's story unfold.

It doesn't come out until May (so it might be perfect for your summer reading list) but I am thinking it'll be worth the wait!

Expected release date - May 7, 2019
