Waiting on Wednesday #12

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spines. This is a cool way to spotlight a upcoming release that you're anxious about, as well as checking out what other book lovers are anticipating as well. So, check out my WoW this week: 


A Shimmer of Angels (Angel Sight, #1)A Shimmer of Angels (Angel Sight #1)

by 
Expected publication: January 29th 2013 
Publisher: Month9Books, LLC
Synopsis via Goodreads:
A compelling and spirited debut from Lisa M. Basso in which sixteen-year-old Rayna Evans has spent the last three years locked away in a mental institution for seeing angels. Intent on remaining free, she ignores signs that she may be slipping into the world she has tried so hard to climb out of. But when her hallucinations begin showing up at school, can Rayna keep her job, her sanity and keep students from dying at the hand of angels she can’t admit to seeing?

 Psychiatry, fantasy and real life come together in A Shimmer of Angels, as a young girl struggles with identity, secrets and confronting her greatest fears. A Shimmer of Angels is a wonderful read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, or perhaps has felt like giving up entirely. It touches on themes of suicide, ostracism and emotional pain. The author, personally exposed to suicide through the death of her beloved brother, will donate a percentage of sales of this novel to a local suicide prevention and outreach program in San Francisco, California.
A Slither of Hope (Angel Sight, #2) A Matter of Time (Angel Sight, #3)

Why I'm waiting? Those covers are absolutely gorgeous, and the series seems not only new but intriguing. I can't wait to start reading.

What's your WoW this week?

    Those covers are very eyecatching, and from the summary, that series sounds like a great one for YA saves.
