Welcome to my WOW, or HOW as I like to call it where I feature an upcoming release that I'm hyperventilating for! It's totally fun to geek out about upcoming releases! This event is hosted by the lovely Jill @ Breaking The Spine. Today's awesome-sauce pick is....


Deception
by C. J. Redwine
Releasing: August 27, 2013 by Balzer + Bray

Baalboden has been ravaged. The brutal Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And Rachel, grief stricken over her father's death, needs Logan more than ever. With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival Carrington's army, who is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group decides to abandon the ruins of their home and take their chances in the Wasteland.



But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos and uncertainty of each day puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. Even worse, as it becomes clear that the Commander will stop at nothing to destroy them, the band of survivors begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, they can make it out of the Wasteland 

Why I'm Hyperventilating:
Holy crap. The COVER! The blurb! It's all so insanely wonderful! I'm dying of WANT here people. Deception ranked in my top three books of 2013 and I NEEEEED this book. I need it now or I think I might die of BOOK DEPRIVATION. Logan and Rachel were like the best ever and I need more of their kick-butt-ness and swoony-romance!!! And the Cursed One. He rocked my boat off. Best monster ever. AAAACK. C. J. is a freaking genius. Please let me be your BESTEST friend and have an early copy of the book? XOXO forever!! Aaah, anyway, I'm dying of swoony. And the cover. I'm in love. Well done. Well done at making me die of need for this book!
