Waiting On Wednesday: Blackout

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blogging event hosted by Breaking the Spine, in which one spotlights an upcoming release they are eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Title: Blackout

Author: Robison Wells

Release Date: October 1, 2013

Summary (from Goodreads):

Laura and Alec are trained terrorists.

Jack and Aubrey are high school students.

There was no reason for them to ever meet.

But now, a mysterious virus is spreading throughout America, infecting teenagers with impossible powers. And these four are about to find their lives intertwined in a complex web of deception, loyalty, and catastrophic danger—where one wrong choice could trigger an explosion that ends it all.

Why I'm Looking Forward To It: Reviewers have been comparing this to X-Men, and since humans with powers is one of my favorite reading topics, of course this one piqued my interest!

So what book are you waiting on?
