Waiting on Wednesday: Black City by Elizabeth Richards

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that features future books I'm highly anticipating for this year . 



Black City

by Elizabeth Richards


A dark and tender postapocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war

In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection, that causes Ash’s long dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong. When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.



Released November 2012

    When I first saw this I wasn't so interested because the cover reminded me of Dark Song by Gail Giles, which I didn't really like. But when I read the summary, I was like OH SNAP. I'M SO GONNA READ THIS.

    Awesome pick!

    There was, like, a surplus of excerpts for this book and I so can't wait to read it either. Totally digging the premise.
