Hey everyone and welcome to my weekly Waiting on Wednesday meme post! This is just a once a week deal where each Wednesday I post about one book I am looking forward to reading and then link it up to the host blog, Breaking the Spine, where I can be connected to over 200 other readers and bloggers who are looking for a new read! My friend Kim from kimberlyfayereads participates in this meme each week and it has always looked like a great time. Below you will find the book cover, synopsis, Goodreads link and my reasons for waiting on this read! Enjoy!
This week's WOW is... The Harvest by NW Harris!
Title: The Harvest (The Last Orphans #2)
Author: NW Harris
Genre: Young Adult/Sci-Fi/Dystopian/HorrorRelease Date: April 14, 2015
Shane Tucker and his friends thought they managed to save the world from the destructive machine that killed off most of its adult population. Unfortunately, a war nobody was prepared for has only just begun. Now they find themselves joining ranks with a secret organization that will train them to fight for the right to survive. Taking refuge alongside other teenage survivors in a hidden base set deep within the mountains, they will learn how to repel an imminent attack by an ancient race of aliens.
Determined to safeguard the children under their charge, Shane and his friends compete for the ultimate prize—a suicide mission against the flagship of the alien fleet. While Shane's feelings for Kelly deepen, along with his need to protect her, he finds emotions clouding his judgment. He’ll gladly die for her. But he refuses to die with her. No amount of training can prepare them for what is to come. Everything the brave teenagers have endured thus far will be eclipsed, with the freedom of humanity hanging in the balance.

Why am I waiting?
This is another one of this 'I'm not really waiting, I just CANNOT wait for everyone else to get their hands on this kind of situations! I was lucky enough to snag an ARC of this and actually just finished about an hour ago. Holy smokes people. Such an incredible read. If you love YA but are looking for something a bit different, I highly recommend that you check out this series. NW Harris has an incredible knack for writing this kind of novel. It's terrifying, it's thrilling, it's emotional. It's AMAZING! Seriously! If you pick up this series, you will not be disappointed! I'm saving my 5-start review for release day, but I can promise you all that you won't want to miss it!
