Waiting on Wednesday: Unbreakable by Kami Garcia

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.  This week's pre-publication, "can't wait to read" is:

Unbreakable by Kami Garcia


From Goodreads synopsis: Supernatural meets The Da Vinci Code in this action-packed paranormal thriller, the first book in a new series from New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia. 

I never believed in ghosts. Until one tried to kill me.

When Kennedy Waters finds her mother dead, her world begins to unravel. She doesn’t know that paranormal forces in a much darker world are the ones pulling the strings. Not until identical twins Jared and Lukas Lockhart break into Kennedy’s room and destroy a dangerous spirit sent to kill her. The brothers reveal that her mother was part of an ancient secret society responsible for protecting the world from a vengeful demon — a society whose five members were all murdered on the same night.

Now Kennedy has to take her mother’s place in the Legion if she wants to uncover the truth and stay alive. Along with new Legion members Priest and Alara, the teens race to find the only weapon that might be able to destroy the demon — battling the deadly spirits he controls every step of the way.

Suspense, romance, and the paranormal meet in this chilling urban fantasy, the first book in a new series from Kami Garcia, bestselling coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures novels.

Publication: October 1, 2013 by Little Brown Books for Young Readers 

I've read one book by Kami Garcia, and that was Beautiful Creatures.  I hated it.  (You can read my rant of a review here.)  Unbreakable has caught my interest, though, and I'm hoping this will be much, much better.

    I didn't liked Beautiful Creatures, either. So I'm not sure whether I'd like t read books from both authors. LOL We'll see.

    Here's my Wednesday post.

    I still doubt to read this though I really like the premise. I still can't finish Beautiful Creatures, it's not that bad, but it's pretty boring :(

    This sounds wonderful and that cover seriously creeps me out. I read Beautiful Creatures and was meh about it but I think I'll enjoy this one much more. I hope you get to read it sooner than later.

    I'm intrigued by this summary but just not sure how I feel about Garcia's writing, which will really be the make or break it element.
