This week I'm waiting on....

Fracture

by: Megan Miranda

Here's the Goodreads blurb:

Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine - despite the scans that showed significant brain damage. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?  

Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening? 

Why I need to read this one:
Something about this book just is pulling me in. It's caught my attention and I want to read it NOW. Maybe because I'm somewhat fascinated by near-death experiences, I don't know. And isn't that cover killer?

Fracture will be released 1.3.2011 by Walker Books for Young Readers
