"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, created by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on:
“Full of
high-octane action and gut-punching emotion, Night Speed will make your
heart race, break it into a million pieces, and then put it back
together again.” (Kass Morgan, New York Times bestselling author of The
100)
“Tighten up that seatbelt, kids, because Chris Howard has
his foot on the pedal and doesn’t let up, from page one to the end. This
is superpower made real, made consequential, with characters you care
about and a story that is pure adrenaline. An absolute must-read.”
(Michael Grant, bestselling author of the Gone series).
Only
those young enough can survive the pulse-pounding rush of tetra, a
dangerous and addictive new drug that fuels a nine-minute burst of
superhuman strength and speed. Alana West has been trained to use the
drug so she can pursue the young criminals who abuse its power—criminals
like the breakneck who nearly killed her kid brother.
On tetra,
Alana is unstoppable. The rush makes her an explosive blur as she surges
through New York City, battling to bring down breaknecks before they
leave more people dead or injured in their wake. But with the clock
ticking down to her eighteenth birthday, Alana will soon be too old for
the rush...when just one more dose will prove deadly.
Supported
only by her strong and steady handler, Tucker, Alana goes undercover,
infiltrating an elite gang of breaknecks to stop the supply of their
drug. But when Alana gets trapped on the wrong side of the law, she
learns the breaknecks are not quite what they seem—especially Ethan, the
artistic boy whose bottomless brown eyes seem to see the truth inside
her. With her own dependency on tetra increasing, Alana must decide
where her loyalties lie before the rush ends. Forever.
