Waiting on Wednesday # 18


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine. The goal is to spotlight upcoming books that I am super excited for.


This week I am waiting on Creed by Trisha Leaver and Lindsay Currie.




Expected Publication: November 2014
Publisher: Flux



Dee Langley is seventeen and mere months away from total freedom and a life where state social workers, counselors, and foster parents don’t dictate her every move. She has spent years trying to eke out a normal existence, hiding from her past and walking the tenuous line between denial and self-preservation. A weekend away with her boyfriend, Luke, and his brother, Mike, seems like the perfect opportunity to forget and start over. Little does Dee know that she's just trading one hell for another.

When an unexpected storm and a lack of gas force their car off the road, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves with no other choice but to wander into the nearby town of Purity Springs for help. But it’s not good Samaritans they find, but rather complete and utter silence, every store and every house abandoned. Forced to seek shelter in one of the deserted homes, they uncover a disturbing book with explicit instructions on how to correctly rear a child, complete with a hand written record of its use. It’s not until the next morning, however, that they discover the alarming truth – the town isn’t abandoned; it is populated by a deadly cult, and the leader, Elijah Hawkins, has plans for the three of them. The group’s only hope for survival lies in the hands of Elijah’s son, Joseph. But is Joseph really their ticket to freedom or is his game just as deadly as his father’s?

Three went in, and three will come out, but not a single one will ever be a shadow of who they once were.


I've had this book on my radar for a little while and recently noticed that a cover was released for it. Thrillers are right up my alley. Creed sounds like it would be an edge of your seat thriller and I am excited to read it.

That’s what I have my eye on this week. What book are you looking forward to??

  2. This sounds really interesting. Ironic how they want to find freedom in their normal lives and then end up in another place where they have to fight for that again. I'm curious about this story now. Thanks for sharing :)

    Happy Wednesday!

  4. Wow this is a seriously creepy sounding book! I don't read these kinds of books very often but this sounds like it could be a fun one to save and read around Halloween for ultimate creepy fun.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! <3

    1. I agree with you there Chelsey. I like to read somewhat scarier books towards the end of the year...hopefully I won't get too creep out with this one LOL.
