Waiting On Wednesday ... That Weekend

 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 That Weekend by Kara Thomas

Here is the Goodreads synopsis

Three best friends, a lake house, a secret trip - what could go wrong?

It was supposed to be the perfect prom weekend getaway. But it's clear something terrible happened when Claire wakes up alone and bloodied on a hiking trail with no memory of the past forty-eight hours.

Three went up the mountain, but only one came back.

Now everyone wants answers - most of all, Claire. She remembers Friday night, but after that... nothing. And now Kat and Jesse - her best friends - are missing.

That weekend changes everything.

What happened on the mountain? And where are Kat and Jesse? Claire knows the answers are buried somewhere in her memory, but as she's learning, everyone has secrets - even her best friends. And she's pretty sure she's not going to like what she remembers.

Those looking for mysterious and creepy books to read in 2021 will want to add That Weekend to their list if the synopsis is anything to go by. I also love that it has friendship as one of the central focuses.

These types of books tend to perfect for long days by the pool so I am happy it is coming out in summer of 2021! Hopefully we can all toss this into our beach bags next year.

Expected release date - June 21, 2021

Waiting On Wednesday ..... The Cheerleaders

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 The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas

Here is the Goodreads synopsis 

There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook.

First there was the car accident—two girls gone after hitting a tree on a rainy night. Not long after, the murders happened. Those two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know why he did it. Monica’s sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they lost.

That was five years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it’s not that easy. She just wants to forget. Only, Monica’s world is starting to unravel. There are the letters in her stepdad’s desk, an unearthed, years-old cell phone, a strange new friend at school. . . . Whatever happened five years ago isn’t over. Some people in town know more than they’re saying. And somehow Monica is at the center of it all.

There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn’t mean anyone else is safe.

This sounds creepy and twisty! It sounds like more of a thriller summer read that is perfect for the beach. I love the mystery aspect and cannot wait to dive into this one!

This comes out right in time for beach season as well as it comes out right in the middle of summer!

Expected release date - July 31, 2018
