Violin prodigy Etta Spencer had big plans for her future, but a tragedy has put her once-bright career at risk. Closely tied to her musical skill, however, is a mysterious power she doesn't even know she has. When her two talents collide during a stressful performance, Etta is drawn back hundreds of years through time.
Etta wakes, confused and terrified, in 1776, in the midst a fierce sea battle. Nicholas Carter, the handsome young prize master of a privateering ship, has been hired to retrieve Etta and deliver her unharmed to the Ironwoods, a powerful family in the Colonies--the very same one that orchestrated her jump back, and one Nicholas himself has ties to. But discovering she can time travel is nothing compared to the shock of discovering the true reason the Ironwoods have ensnared her in their web.
Another traveler has stolen an object of untold value from them, and, if Etta can find it, they will return her to her own time. Out of options, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the mysterious traveler. But as they draw closer to each other and the end of their search, the true nature of the object, and the dangerous game the Ironwoods are playing, comes to light -- threatening to separate her not only from Nicholas, but her path home... forever.
Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly (bi-weekly for me) meme hosted on Breaking the Spine. I spotlight upcoming releases that I’m eagerly waiting on the edge of my seat for.
Woah woah woah. WAITING ON WEDNESDAY?! So if you saw my review on The Festival of Insignificance then you know that I have a new blog schedule. I decided that I would interchange Top Ten Tuesdays and Waiting on Wednesdays every week just to keep it more interesting. So yes, welcome to my very first Waiting on Wednesday! Since I’ve already done a post on my Most Anticipated Books for the Second Half of 2015, I won’t re-mention any of those.
Now onto Passenger! I can be the only one who’s incredibly excited right? I have to reread The Darkest Minds trilogy as soon as I can. I’m so jealous of everyone who got this at BEA. I love how intricate the story sounds and I’m sure it will blow my mind away.
Are you excited for Passenger as well? Or maybe you’re lucky enough to have already read it?
