Summary From Goodreads:
To fight her destiny as the missing heir to a powerful and dangerous secret society, sixteen-year-old Avery West must solve an ancient puzzle in a deadly race across Europe. Forbidden love and code-breaking, masked balls and explosions, destiny and dark secrets collide in this romantic thriller, in the vein of a YA DaVinci Code.
Avery West's newfound family can shut down Prada at the Champs-Elysees when they want to shop in peace, and can just as easily order a bombing when they want to start a war.
They are part of a powerful and dangerous secret society called the Circle of Twelve, and Avery is their missing heir. If they discover who she is, some of them will want to use her as a pawn. Some will want her dead.
To thwart their plans, Avery must follow a trail of clues from the landmarks of Paris to the back alleys of Istanbul and through a web of ancient legends and lies. And unless she can stay one step ahead of beautiful, volatile Stellan, who knows she’s more than she seems, and can decide whether to trust mysterious, magnetic Jack, she may be doomed after all.

Why I'm waiting:
I'm not a huge fan of mystery novels, but for whatever reason, (probably because of the intriguing cover) I'm really excited to read this one. Maggie is also coming to my local bookstore in January so hopefully I'll be able to go and meet her!
What are you waiting to read? Tell me in the comments!

Same, I just love that cover!
DeleteGreat pick! I already have this on my tbr. Though I'm pretty sure that not the original cover? Or is it just me? XD
ReplyDeleteAlso, Maggie Hall is gorgeous!
Here's my Wednesday post.
Hahaha. I have no idea! This is the only one I've seen, but there might have been a different one before. And I agree, she is really pretty!
DeleteI'm not really a fan of mystery either, but this one sounds interesting!! I hope you get to meet the author :-)

DeleteWow! It sounds good. I hope you enjoy it. Here's my post
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have a $30 Amazon giftcard giveaway going on, so don't miss it.
I'm excited to read it! And thanks for letting me know! :)
DeleteI can't wait to read this one also! It's not even something that I would normally read, but that synopsis sounds awesome. I hope we both enjoy reading it. Thanks for stopping by My WoW.
ReplyDeleteThe synopsis definitely hooked me too!
DeleteThis one is on Rachel's list. It sounds interesting, but I'll wait to hear about it from her I think. :/ Happy reading.

I hope you like it if you do decide to read it! :)
DeleteNice pick, this is on my hitlist as well! My WoW
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hope you like it!
DeleteThat is such an amazing cover! YA DaVince Code? Oh my! Super pick!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so cool?! And it just sounds so good! :D
DeleteThe cover is beautiful and the premise is highly interesting... I've always been a fan of books where you need to follow a riddle and have to travel across many miles and countries to obtain the next clue (National Treasure with Nicolas Cage, anyone?). I just hope this one lives to my expectations! ><
ReplyDeleteFaye at The Social Potato
Yes, National Treasure! Nicolas Cage is awesome. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by :)
