Waiting on Wednesday: Riders by Veronica Rossi

This week, I can't wait to read...



Riders (Riders #1) by Veronica Rossi



Publication date: February 2nd, 2016
Publisher: Tor Teen
Goodreads link (click here)


Description from Goodreads:

For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.
Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can’t remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen—Conquest, Famine and Death—are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.
They fail.
Now—bound, bloodied, and drugged—Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he’s fallen for—not to mention all of humankind—he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger.
But will anyone believe him?


Why I'm excited:

A new series by Veronica Rossi?

Well, this makes me feel like....

THIS....


I know this is quite a ways away from the release date (next February), but when I came across this, I was so excited I had to share it. I absolutely loved Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky trilogy and discovering that she's got a new series coming out makes me so happy. I love the way she tells a story and how she brings characters to life (hello, Roar!), so I can't wait to meet her new characters and explore her new world. And, come on...this sounds REALLY cool, too! Plus, it matches my blog!



What are you waiting to read?

  8. When I saw the cover I thought this isn't going to be for me. Then I read the description and thought this actually sounds pretty good. I paid no attention to who wrote it until you said haha and now I'm definitely adding it to my list. I adored the UTNS Trilogy so I have faith that I'll love this one too.
