I'm Waiting On In The Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters

 
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine to shine a spotlight on upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating!

This week I chose...

Title: In the Shadow of Blackbirds
Author: Cat Winters
Release Date: April 2, 2013

Summary from Goodreads:
In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. During her bleakest moment, however, she’s forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love—a boy who died in battle—returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her?

Featuring haunting archival early-twentieth-century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time.

In the Shadow of Blackbirds

The cover, the summary, the raving reviews of those who were lucky enough to read it early - let's just say I already pre-ordered my copy.

What are you waiting on?

    This sounds fantastic. I've heard it's similar to the book Miss Peregrine's (I don't think I spelt that right) in the sense that it features photography as well. So it sounds amazing!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

    I can't wait to read this! I LOVED Ransom Riggs' Miss Peregrine's. The photo's bring such a different life to the book!
