Waiting on Wednesday (WoW) is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week’s WoW feature is:
After the End
by Amy Plum
Publisher: HarperTeen
Expected publication: May 6, 2014
She’s searching for answers to her past. They’re hunting her to save their future.
World War III has left the world ravaged by nuclear radiation. A lucky few escaped to the Alaskan wilderness. They’ve survived for the last thirty years by living off the land, being one with nature, and hiding from whoever else might still be out there.
At least, this is what Juneau has been told her entire life.
When Juneau returns from a hunting trip to discover that everyone in her clan has vanished, she sets off to find them. Leaving the boundaries of their land for the very first time, she learns something horrifying: There never was a war. Cities were never destroyed. The world is intact. Everything was a lie.
Now Juneau is adrift in a modern-day world she never knew existed. But while she’s trying to find a way to rescue her friends and family, someone else is looking for her. Someone who knows the extraordinary truth about the secrets of her past. (Goodreads)
I love that this story is set in the Alaska wilderness, or at least starts off there… and the cover is beautiful! I really enjoyed Amy Plum’s Revenant’s series, so I’m looking forward to this one.
What book are you anxiously waiting for this week?
I actually already got a chance to read this one last month. It was pretty great, loved the characters 🙂

Great pick! I’m looking forward to starting this myself sometime in the near future. I like the twist – world was destroyed … oh wait, no it wasn’t.
