Waiting on Wednesday-HARBINGER Art Reveal+Review

When sixteen-year-old Faye arrives at Holbrook Academy, she doesn't expect to find herself exactly where she needs to be. After years of strange waking visions and nightmares, her only comfort the bones of dead animals, Faye is afraid she's going crazy. Fast.

But her first night at Holbrook, she feels strangely connected to the school and the island it sits on, like she's come home. She's even made her first real friends, but odd things keep happening to them. Every morning they wake on the floors of their dorm rooms with their hands stained red.

Faye knows she's the reason, but what does it all mean? The handsome Kel tries to help her unravel the mystery, but Faye is certain she can't trust him; in fact, he may be trying to kill her - and the rest of the world too.

HARBINGER is unlike any other book I have ever read. I have no idea where to categorize it, because it really stands in its own awesome genre. I had the pleasure of reading this one back in 2011, and I flew through it! After reading the synopsis, I really had no idea what to expect from this one. And after reading the first few chapters, I STILL had no idea what to expect...in the best of ways. Seriously. I'm a fan of Sara Wilson Etienne, and I cannot wait to see what else she comes up with in the future. This chick has a wild, imaginative mind! She's a rock star!

•   HARBINGER is one of those books that pulls you in and takes you for a crazy, wild ride with a ton of twists and turns, and when you're done reading it, you sort of feel like you want to do it all over again. 
• I loved the mystery. I loved how creepy Holbrook was, and how weird Faye's visions were. When they first woke up with blood on their hands, I was totally creeped out--which says a lot, because I LOVE creepy books!
• The author has an amazingly descriptive voice, and when Faye had her visions, I literally felt like I was drowning in the sea with her. 
• The cool thing about this book is that there are a ton of characters, but you feel like you've gotten a chance to know all of them pretty well by the last page. This is the type of book you do not want to rush. It's kind of like a Law & Order episode, where you have to pay attention to every little detail or you'll miss something in the end. And I promise, it's something good!

 I don't know what else to say without giving things away. But if you like a book with mystery, sexy men, and a super cool setting, HARBINGER is for you. It's got great action scenes, a ton of artistic descriptions, and SUPER gorgeous cover. Seriously...have you seen that thing?
