Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming
releases that we can't wait to get our hands on!
This week's WoW is Pulse by Patrick Carman.
Goodreads Synopsis:
From New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman, a teen fantasy-adventure of epic proportions. In 2051, some teens have a “pulse,” the power to move objects with their minds. Compulsively readable, with thrilling action scenes and a tender love story.
The year is 2051, and the world is still recognizable. With the help of her mysterious classmate Dylan Gilmore, Faith Daniels discovers that she can move objects with her mind. This telekinetic ability is called a “pulse,” and Dylan has the talent, too.
In riveting action scenes, Faith demonstrates her ability to use her pulse against a group of telekinesis masters so powerful they will flatten their enemies by uprooting street lights, moving boulders, and changing the course of a hurtling hammer so that it becomes a deadly weapon. But even with great talent, the mind—and the heart—can be difficult to control. If Faith wants to join forces with Dylan and save the world, she’ll have to harness the power of both.
Patrick Carman’s Pulse trilogy is a stunning, action-filled triumph about the power of the mind—and the power of love.

My Thoughts:
Everyone has a heartbeat. Few have the pulse.
Doesn't that just give you the shivers? This has got to be one of my favorite book mottos/sayings ever, though I don't particularly know why.... Anyways, the cover is absolutely gorgeous! It's so freaking unique! I've never seen any YA novel, well at least any popular YA novel, have a cover with a floating tree on it! The reverberations that seem to be emanating from the tree were a nice touch as well! A+ to the peoples who worked so hard on designing this cover, it certainly caught my eye! Added bonus, it releases on my birthday! :D
