I'm switching over from Waiting on Wednesday's to Can't Wait Wednesday, a meme hosted by Wishful Endings. The idea is basically the same, but it looks like the official hosts of Breaking the Spine have shut down the meme so it's time to move on. Description and cover image taken from Goodreads.
Before he was Batman, he was Bruce Wayne. A reckless boy willing to break the rules for a girl who may be his worst enemy.
The Nightwalkers are terrorizing Gotham City, and Bruce Wayne is next on their list.
One by one, the city's elites are being executed as their mansions' security systems turn against them, trapping them like prey. Meanwhile, Bruce is turning eighteen and about to inherit his family's fortune, not to mention the keys to Wayne Enterprises and all the tech gadgetry his heart could ever desire. But after a run-in with the police, he's forced to do community service at Arkham Asylum, the infamous prison that holds the city's most brutal criminals.
Madeleine Wallace is a brilliant killer . . . and Bruce's only hope.
In Arkham, Bruce meets Madeleine, a brilliant girl with ties to the Nightwalkers. What is she hiding? And why will she speak only to Bruce? Madeleine is the mystery Bruce must unravel. But is he getting her to divulge her secrets, or is he feeding her the information she needs to bring Gotham City to its knees? Bruce will walk the dark line between trust and betrayal as the Nightwalkers circle closer.
Why I'm Waiting
I wasn't super excited for this one, at least not as excited as I was for Wonder Woman and Catwoman, but it sounds like a really good book and I'm always up for superhero's.

I don't even like superhero books, but when Lu talked about this book, she totally made me want to read it. I think it's going to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love when author's are passionate about their works, it makes it so much more exciting to read!
DeleteThey're doing a Cat Woman one? How cool is that?

DeleteI have this on my wishlist. I'm not a huge Batman fan, but I'm excited for it because of Marie Lu. Loved the Legend series!
ReplyDeleteI know I was iffy too but I trust Lu quite a bit.

DeleteVery cool! She's actually made Batman sound interesting again -- especially at an age I haven't seen him in before.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's such a different flavor of the character in a good way.
