Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted at Breaking The Spine that spotlights those can't-wait-to-get-my-hands-on-them books that we are eagerly awaiting!
This week I'm quite excited to finally get my hands on the sequel to The Hallowed Ones (see my review here), The Outside by Laura Bickle!
Goodreads summary:
"One girl. One road. One chance to save what remains…
After a plague of vampires is unleashed in the world, Katie is kicked out of her Amish community for her refusal to adhere to the new rules of survival. Now in exile, she enters an outside world of unspeakable violence with only her two “English” friends and a horse by her side. Together they seek answers and other survivors—but each sunset brings the threat of vampire attack, and each sunrise the threat of starvation.
And yet through this darkness come the shining ones: luminescent men and women with the power to deflect vampires and survive the night. But can these new people be trusted, and are they even people at all?
In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, it’s up to one Amish girl to save her family, her community, and the boy she loves . . . but what will she be asked to leave behind in return?"
Why am I eagerly awaiting The Outside? Well, I loved The Hallowed Ones, and found it a very unique and compelling story, with a different take on the postapocalyptic, with Amish and monsters! Loved Katie's attitude and I really want to know what happens next after that ending!
What are you all (im)patiently waiting to read?

Thank you, Kristen!
DeleteWell, the unsettling cover is very fitting, book 1 was fairly creepy and I'm sure this one will be even more creepy!
I have been meaning to get these books myself because they both look so good. Maybe soon :)

Thanks Shane!
DeleteI've heard so much about The Hallowed Ones! Amish culture and vampires really does catch the eye, so it's great to see that you enjoyed it as well. I'm also really intrigued by "that ending" you mentioned! Great pick, Pili. :)
