Waiting on Wednesday #5

Tuesday, August 11, 2015


"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly book meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Title: A Drop of Night
Author: Stefan Bachmann
Genre: YA, Mystery, Thriller
Publisher: Greenwillow Books
Release Date: March 15, 2016
Pages: 384
Five gifted teenagers are selected out of hundreds of other candidates to fly to France and help with the excavation of a vast, underground palace buried a hundred feet below the suburbs of Paris. Built in the 1780's to hide an aristocratic family and a mad duke during the French Revolution, the palace was sealed after the aristocrats fled there. No one has set foot in it for over two centuries.

Now, in the present day, the teenagers enter with cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art security, scientists and chaperones. And then a brutal accident occurs. No way out. Caught in the dark.

They will have to fight to survive. But are they really alone in the depths?

Why I'm Waiting

Excavation of an underground palace with no way out? Not going to lie: I actually had a dream just like that once...except it was under my grandma's ranch instead of in France. But I'm pretty sure A Drop of Night sounds cooler than my dream. The idea of exploring an underground palace and things going not too right sounds intense and mysterious and I seriously want to read it! 


Are you excited about A Drop of Night? What are you waiting on this week?

    I like the creepy feel of this book and it sounds like a book that I could totally get lost in. Great WOW pick.

      Yeah this totally seems like a good creepy "I should probably sleep but I have to find out what happens" type of read. Thanks for stopping by!

      I think I might have discovered it on someone else's WOW a while ago, and I just thought it looked super good. Haha it is only August, and I am already excited for so many books in 2016! I might be jumping the gun just a bit. Thanks for stopping by!

      I know I am excited to read it! But the hard part about discovering this book is that is comes of NEXT YEAR. Oh the woes of loving books!
