Waiting on Wednesday #28

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine!

 This week I'm waiting on Intrinsical - Lani Woodland. Can I just say I love this cover.... it would be great if the letters were a little more defined but I'm a fan of the whimsical look of the whole thing.

Sixteen-year-old Yara Silva has always known that ghosts walk alongside the living. Her grandma, like the other females in her family, is a Waker, someone who can see and communicate with ghosts. Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life. However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.

 Sounds like it could be very good or very cliché. We will just have to find out on August 20th. Here's the trailer... it's okay they should have had Vania do it... *shrugs*
