Waiting on Wednesday – Week 100

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It's to spotlight on upcoming reads that I'm DYING to get my hands on.

It's my 100th WoW post!!

I've been anticipating this for weeks (only to be in exams when it's finally posted), but YAY!! Wowieeee 1-0-0. Triple digits... that's pretty huge! I stuck with this meme for the longest time ever. The first WoW post that I, well, posted, was on December 22, 2010, and it was for Angel by James Patterson, a Maximum Ride novel. Unfortunately, I never got around to reading it or even finishing the series :( Here's a fact: I've actually only read 22 of the books I've done a WoW post for. I have QUITE a lot of catching up to do clearly! Anyway,

This week's WoW is:

The Secrets of Lily Graves by Sarah Strohmeyer

With the intrigue of Pretty Little Liars and plenty of romance, bestselling author Sarah Strohmeyer weaves a story of secrets and lies—set in a funeral parlor.

Growing up in a house of female morticians, Lily Graves knows all about buried secrets. She knows that perfect senior-class president Erin Donohue isn’t what she seems. She knows why Erin’s ex-boyfriend, hot football player Matt Houser, broke up with her. And she also knows that, even though she says she and Matt are just friends, there is something brewing between them—something Erin definitely did not like.

But secrets, even ones that are long buried, have a way of returning to haunt their keeper.

So when Erin is found dead the day after attacking Lily in a jealous rage, Lily's and Matt’s safe little lives, and the lives of everyone in their town of Potsdam, begin to unravel. And their relationship—which grew from innocent after-school tutoring sessions to late-night clandestine rendezvous—makes them both suspects.

As her world crumbles around her, Lily must figure out the difference between truth and deception, genuine love and a web of lies. And she must do it quickly, before the killer claims another victim.

I'm a fan of Sarah Strohmeyer's books, even though I've only read Smart Girls Get What They Want. It was just so adorable and hilarious that I instantly fell in love! This one sounds really different though– completely the opposite to her other books in fact. Nonetheless, this one sounds thrilling and one I hope to start really soon.

What are you waiting on?
