Waiting On Wednesday: The Taking (Kimberly Derting)



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at
and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I am completely obsessed with anything that Kimberly Derting writes! She is a phenomenal writer and every book is written in such a way that I feel like I am living each moment with the characters! SO when I saw this new book by Kimberly then I knew IMMEDIATELY I had to get my hands on it...



The Taking (The Taking, #1)
Hardcover, 368 pages
Expected publication: April 29th 2014 by Harper Teen


A flash of white light . . . and then . . . nothing. 


When sixteen-year-old Kyra Agnew wakes up behind a Dumpster at the Gas ’n’ Sip, she has no memory of how she got there. With a terrible headache and a major case of déjà vu, she heads home only to discover that five years have passed . . . yet she hasn’t aged a day.
Everything else about Kyra’s old life is different. Her parents are divorced, her boyfriend, Austin, is in college and dating her best friend, and her dad has changed from an uptight neat-freak to a drunken conspiracy theorist who blames her five-year disappearance on little green men.
Confused and lost, Kyra isn’t sure how to move forward unless she uncovers the truth. With Austin gone, she turns to Tyler, Austin’s annoying kid brother, who is now seventeen and who she has a sudden undeniable attraction to. As Tyler and Kyra retrace her steps from the fateful night of her disappearance, they discover strange phenomena that no one can explain, and they begin to wonder if Kyra’s father is not as crazy as he seems. There are others like her who have been taken . . . and returned. Kyra races to find an explanation and reclaim the life she once had, but what if the life she wants back is not her own?

What book are you most looking forward to reading in 2014??
