Dear readers, today I have the opportunity to introduce you to a new voice in Young Adult literature, Tara Sim! I have had the chance to read her novel, Timekeeper, a few weeks ago and I immediately contacted the author for an interview. I was that delightfully surprised by it. You can read my review HERE.
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post created by Breaking the Spine that features our most anticipated books to be released.
I just LOVE the premise for this one. It looks badass intriguing and I bet there are going to be some kickass twists and turns!
