Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly
meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights books that
we can't wait to read!
This week's WoW is.........Black City by Elizabeth Richards!
Amazon Summary
A dark and tender post-apocalyptic 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.

I've never really been into post-apocalyptic stories but after reading glowing reviews on it I can't wait to read it! The cover is also really unique and I love the shattering rose, although I have no idea what that has to do with the story. I guess I'll have to find out!
What book are you waiting on this Wednesday?
This cover is LOVELY! And this concept is rather interesting as well. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
