Waiting on Wednesday #48

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine, that highlights upcoming releases we're anticipating.


Author: Mindy McGinnis
Title: A Madness So Discreet
Series: None
Genre: YA, Historical, Mystery/Thriller, Horror
Release Date: October 6, 2015
Summary From Goodreads: 
Mindy McGinnis, the acclaimed author of Not a Drop to Drink and In a Handful of Dust, combines murder, madness, and mystery in a beautifully twisted gothic historical thriller perfect for fans of novels such as Asylumand The Diviners as well as television's True Detective and American Horror Story.
When Grace Mae is sent to the insane asylum because of the bulge in her belly, she already knows about madness and family secrets. It is in the darkness that she may find a new lease on life when a visiting doctor interested in criminal psychology recognizes Grace's brilliant mind hiding beneath the fear and anger. Although the doctor insists that for Grace's safety she must continue to play insane while assisting him at crime scenes, she finds hope in a different, ethical asylum. But the gruesome nights when Grace and the doctor investigate a killer targeting young women bring Grace's shaky sanity, and the demons of her own past, dangerously close to the surface.


Why I'm Waiting:

Honestly, I didn't enjoy Not a Drop to Drink as much as everyone else did and I still haven't read In a Handful of Dust, but I'm definitely intrigued by A Madness So Discreet! While horror/thriller is probably one of my least favorite genres, I'm curious about the whole insane asylum setting!
