Waiting on Wednesday: Fever

Because we all have something we're waiting for.

Fever
Author: Lauren deStefano
Series: The Chemical Garden (#2)
Release Date: February 2, 2012

Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but danger is never far behind.

Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.

The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.

I'm waiting on a lot of sequels lately, but all the series are quite excellent - especially this one! I loved Wither, even with it's world building flaws. It just sucked me in and I'm really excited to see what happens next.

Also, that cover? Creepy and gorgeous simultaneously. What's with the child's room stuff? Hmm...
