This week, I'm waiting on...
The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman. Here's what Goodreads has to say: They called it the
killing day. Twelve people dead, all in the space of a few hours. Five
murderers: neighbors, relatives, friends. All of them so normal. All of
them seemingly harmless. All of them now dead by their own hand . . .
except one. And that one has no answers to offer the shattered town. She
doesn't even know why she killed—or whether she'll do it again.
Something
is waking in the sleepy town of Oleander's, Kansas—something dark and
hungry that lives in the flat earth and the open sky, in the vengeful
hearts of upstanding citizens. As the town begins its descent into blood
and madness, five survivors of the killing day are the only ones who
can stop Oleander from destroying itself. Jule, the outsider at war with
the world; West, the golden boy at war with himself; Daniel, desperate
for a different life; Cass, who's not sure she deserves a life at all;
and Ellie, who believes in sacrifice, fate, and in evil. Ellie, who
always goes too far. They have nothing in common. They have nothing left
to lose. And they have no way out. Which means they have no choice but
to stand and fight, to face the darkness in their town—and in
themselves.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

This sounds like it should be a daytime read before it gets dark.

This sounds so creepy but I'm also really intrigued. I think I will wait for some early reviews before deciding whether or not to give this a read.
