The Creeping & The Accident Season | Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine in which we discuss our most anticipated upcoming releases. Personally, I always speak of books released on the next Tuesday, but that's not everyone's case.

Title: The Creeping

Author: Alexandra Sirowy

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Release date: August 18th 2015

Goodreads summary: Twelve years ago Stella and Jeanie vanished while picking strawberries. Stella returned minutes later, with no memory of what happened. Jeanie was never seen or heard from again.

Now Stella is seventeen, and she's over it. She's the lucky one who survived, and sure, the case is still cloaked in mystery—and it's her small town's ugly legacy—but Stella is focused on the coming summer. She's got a great best friend, a hookup with an irresistibly crooked smile, and two months of beach days stretching out before her.

Then along comes a corpse, a little girl who washes up in an ancient cemetery after a mudslide, and who has red hair just like Jeanie did. Suddenly memories of that haunting day begin to return, and when Stella discovers that other red-headed girls have gone missing as well, she begins to suspect that something sinister is at work.

And before the summer ends, Stella will learn the hard way that if you hunt for monsters, you will find them.

MY THOUGHTS

I always like to discover new authors, which explains I'm a debut enthusiast. I haven't heard a lot about this book for now, but Rachel's early review convinced me I needed to check this book out when it's published. I'm not really familiar with this mystery/thriller genre, but I'm looking forward to dive into it. I know I really like to be surprised by books, though, so mystery should be for me. This cover is really creeping me out (oh the joke!), I might keep this one for the end of October because of the atmosphere.

Title: The Accident Season

Author: Moïra Fowley-Doyle

Publisher: Corgi Childrens

Release date: August 18th 2015

Goodreads summary: It's the accident season, the same time every year. Bones break, skin tears, bruises bloom.

The accident season has been part of seventeen-year-old Cara's life for as long as she can remember. Towards the end of October, foreshadowed by the deaths of many relatives before them, Cara's family becomes inexplicably accident-prone. They banish knives to locked drawers, cover sharp table edges with padding, switch off electrical items - but injuries follow wherever they go, and the accident season becomes an ever-growing obsession and fear.

But why are they so cursed? And how can they break free?

MY THOUGHTS

I wanna read this for the same reasons than The Creeping. I read this blog tour post on Kristen's blog and what really convinced me is the fact that you can read it as a coincidence or magical realism. It's something that appeals to me, because the reader is free to interpret the book the way he wants. The early reviews are good, so I'll read it in the future!

Are you excited for these books? Have you heard of other books released next week? 

Let me know ;)
