Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. This week’s choice is:
The Treachery of Beautiful Things
Ruth Frances Long
A darkly compelling mix of romance, fairy tale, and suspense from a new voice in teen fiction
The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it. Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. Instead, she's lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack's help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils, and she's faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice--and not just her own.
Why:
I have a theory that there may be some horror elements to this book and that's what akes me more excited for it than other fantasy/faerie books I've encountered. The idea that there are these insanely beautiful things that are just to lure you in and hurt you.
Also, I am a sucker for gorgeous covers and this is def a gorgeous cover.
