Waiting On Wednesday (9)



"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I'm a big fan of Tabitha Suzuma's.  After reading the incredible and utterly surprising and emotional Forbidden, I set off to read as many books in her backlist as possible. I'm still working on that but I am also really excited about her latest offering... Hurt is being published by Random house on the 5th of September and I'm expecting good things from it.  What do you think?



Hurt by Tabitha Suzuma (Random House, 5th September) 


Why? is the burning question on everyone’s lips. Why would a guy like Mathéo Walsh want to die? At seventeen, he is Britain’s most promising diving champion. He is a heartthrob, a straight A student and lives in one of the wealthiest areas of London. He has great mates and is the envy of everyone around him. And most importantly of all, he is deeply in love with his girlfriend, Lola. He has always been a stable, well-adjusted guy...

Until one weekend. A weekend he cannot seem to remember. All he knows is that he has come back a changed person. One who no longer knows how to have fun, no longer wants to spend time with his friends, no longer enjoys diving. Something terrible happened that weekend – something violent and bloody and twisted. He no longer knows who he is. He no longer trusts himself around people: he only wants to hurt, wound and destroy. Slowly, he begins to piece back the buried, fragmented memories, and finds himself staring at the reflection of a monster.

Tormented, Mathéo suddenly finds himself faced with the most devastating choice of his life. Keep his secret, and put those closest to him in terrible danger. Or confess, and lose Lola forever...

  1. I'll definitely try to read this because I heard such great things about Forbidden despite the subject matter (sort of like with Ruta Sepetys).

  2. Hurt sounds amazing, I'll definitely be looking into it, and Forbidden. I really need to check out Suzuma's books, I haven't read any!

    1. I hope that I become as emotionally invested in Hurt's story and characters as much as I did with Forbidden!
