Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, originally started by Jill at Breaking the Spine , that highlights upcoming book releases everyone is waiting on...hence the title. This week's pick is Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. Here is the Goodreads description:

"Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland—nicknamed The Death Shop—are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms eventually will. In this dystopia, even the very air she breathes could kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He’s wild, dangerous—a savage. He’s also her only hope.

Perry needs Aria, too. She alone holds the key to his redemption. And their unlikely alliance will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.

Debut author Veronica Rossi is accumulating fans from all over the globe—the book has already sold to more than twenty countries. It’s not surprising that foreign rights for this title have been flying off the shelf. It’s a tantalizing romance in any language."

Okay, firstly you have NO IDEA how long I have been waiting for news about this book. I remember reading about it twenty lifetimes ago in Publisher's Weekly and the buzz EVEN THEN was pretty fantastic. So I was ecstatic last week when the cover was finally released! I cannot wait to read this book as it sounds right up my street - a dystopian romance? YES PLEASE! And the cover? Well, let's just say that it was worth the wait! Speaking of which, the book is published in February 2012 so not much longer to wait for it :)
