"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's cannot-wait book is:
The Game of Love and Death by Martha Brockenbrough!
The Game of Love and Death
by Martha Brockenbrough
Expected publication: April 28th 2015
YA, historical fiction
Antony and Cleopatra. Helen of Troy and Paris. Romeo and Juliet. And now . . . Henry and Flora.
For centuries Love and Death have chosen their players. They have set the rules, rolled the dice, and kept close, ready to influence, angling for supremacy. And Death has always won. Always.
Could there ever be one time, one place, one pair whose love would truly tip the balance?
Meet Flora Saudade, an African-American girl who dreams of becoming the next Amelia Earhart by day and sings in the smoky jazz clubs of Seattle by night. Meet Henry Bishop, born a few blocks and a million worlds away, a white boy with his future assured — a wealthy adoptive family in the midst of the Great Depression, a college scholarship, and all the opportunities in the world seemingly available to him.
The players have been chosen. The dice have been rolled. But when human beings make moves of their own, what happens next is anyone’s guess.
Achingly romantic and brilliantly imagined, The Game of Love and Death is a love story you will never forget.

Why it isn't April already? I need this book, so so so badly. I mean, there's Death, Love, rules and game of dice. There's everything a good story needs and I'm not patient enough to wait for over four months to get to read this!
What are you waiting on this week?
Oh, I've never heard of this one before, but it does sound good. I'll definitely out it on my TBR. I hope you'll like it, and thanks for sharing. :)

This sounds scary and exciting at the same time. Love and death!

I love forbidden romance, so I was in just for that. But seriously this one looks really good.
