WOW: Whisper Falls

WOW is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. My pick this week is Whisper Falls by Elizabeth Langston and published by Spencer Hill. It's expected to be available November of 2013.

The cover caught my interest and I loved the blurb!

"While training for a mountain bike race, high-school senior Mark Lewis spots a mysterious girl dressed in odd clothing, standing behind a waterfall in the woods near his North Carolina home. When she comments on the strange machine that he rides, he suspects something isn’t right. When Susanna claims to be an indentured servant from 1796, he wonders if she's crazy. Yet he feels compelled to find out more.

Mark enters a ‘long-distance’ relationship with Susanna through the shimmering--and temperamental--barrier of Whisper Falls. Curious about her world, Mark combs through history to learn about the brutal life she's trapped in. But knowledge can be dangerous. Soon he must choose between the risk of changing history or dooming the girl he can't stop thinking about to a lifetime of misery."

  5. I've seen this one around before. I like the sound of it because it's really different than anything else I've ever read.
