Cursed (Books from A to Z)

In looking through my to-read list on Goodreads - while I was organizing things during Bloggiesta - I ran across this book. As I read the blurb, I was asking myself whey I hadn't read it yet - well duh!  It has not been released yet!!  Good reason, huh?  Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout is expected to be released September 18, 2012.  


***In creating this post, I found out that Jennifer Armentrout is from West Virginia!  Small world!!!!

Cursed is in my to-read list as a book I selected for the Standalone Reading Challenge.   It sort of puts me in the mind of King Midas and his golden touch, but in an eery sort of way!  I can't wait until it comes out!  Could you imagine every thing that you touched, dying?  I've heard people say that about plants, but I can't say that I have ever heard of anyone worrying about killing a person by touching them!  Creepy!!!

Blurb:  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.
