Waiting on Wednesday (23)
Title: Cursed
Author: Jennifer L.Armentrout
Pages: 304
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press
Release Date: September 18, 2012
Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.
Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he’s a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she’s more than interested. There’s just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she’s willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't?
But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she’s not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time.

Truly Bookish
Wow, I`ve seen a lot of Jennifer Armentrout around a lot. This sounds really interesting. When I started reading the description I was thinking a little bit of that show Pushing Daisies. But this sounds a lot more intense. I think I`m going to have to pick up some of her books. Great pick!
