Waiting on Wednesday [11]

"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 pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon (release date October 4, 2011)
A move to Ireland is about to introduce Megan to her destiny, her real destiny, can she embrace it and will she survive it?

A tragedy in Megan’s past set her on a predetermined course. A chain of events has been set in motion that brings Megan to Kinsale, a small town in the south of Ireland where her destiny awaits her. Her life starts to fall into place as she makes new friends and settles into her new school. However, the reclusive and distant Adam DeRĂ­s calls to her body and soul.

She finds herself increasingly drawn to Adam and his strange family. Adam knows a secret from her past and he and his family hold the key to her future. A future that binds her to Adam and his world, a world of power, mystery and ancient orders. A world that unbeknownst to her, she very much belongs in.
Why do I want to read this book? First of all, the cover is very unique. For some reason, the cover makes it look like an adult book rather than YA. Also, there aren't very many YA books set in Ireland, so I have big expectations for The Carrier of the Mark!

  10. What I like most about this is that by the title and cover I have absolutely no idea what overtly is going to happen in this book, just some background information. And that's what I love most of all, being able to find out what the surprise is. Thanks!
