This week I'm waiting on Drought by Pam Bachorz. I read (and loved) her novel Candor a while back, so hopefully this one will be just as good! I love the cover, and I love the premise (dystopian, too, yay). But don't take my word for it - observe:
Description from Goodreads:
Ruby Prosser dreams of escaping the Congregation and the early-nineteenth century lifestyle that’s been practiced since the community was first enslaved.
She plots to escape the vicious Darwin West, his cruel Overseers, and the daily struggle to gather the life-prolonging Water that keeps the Congregants alive and gives Darwin his wealth and power. But if Ruby leaves, the Congregation will die without the secret ingredient that makes the Water special: her blood.
So she stays.
But when Ruby meets Ford, the new Overseer who seems barely older than herself, her desire for freedom is too strong. He’s sympathetic, irresistible, forbidden—and her only access to the modern world. Escape with Ford would be so simple, but can Ruby risk the terrible price, dooming the only world she’s ever known?
*******
Doesn't that sound awesome? I can't wait to read this one. Drought comes out January 11th, at which time I shall most definitely have to read it!
