"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My selection for this week is:
Fury (Fury,#1) by Elizabeth Miles
Publication Date: August 30th 2011
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Summary from Goodreads:
The first book in a paranormal teen trilogy featuring three beautiful, mysterious girls wreaking havoc on a small New England town.
Sometimes sorry isn't enough....
It’s winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems...
Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year’s even better--the guy she’s been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there’s no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em’s best friend.
On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that’s nothing compared to what’s really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it’s only a matter of time before he’s exposed.
In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls—three beautiful, mysterious girls—are here to choose who will pay.
Em and Chase have been chosen.

What I think:
As soon as I saw the cover of Fury,I just felt compelled to check its premise.And the premise sounds quite interesting!Being Greek myself,I always like reading about Greek mythology and see how different authors take some elements and transform them into something completely new!I just only hope that Fury is among those books that the actual story of the book is as good as its cover!
I found you over at the WoW bloggers list, and I've seen this book around, but haven't read the synopsis until now.
