Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating. This is one of my favorite memes because not only is my TBR pile so much bigger at the end of the night but also the covers are always amazing!

There are three rules in the Walled City: Run fast. Trust no one. Always carry your knife. Right now, my life depends completely on the first. Run, run, run.
Jin, Mei Yee, and Dai all live in the Walled City, a lawless labyrinth run by crime lords and overrun by street gangs. Teens there run drugs or work in brothels—or, like Jin, hide under the radar. But when Dai offers Jin a chance to find her lost sister, Mei Yee, she begins a breathtaking race against the clock to escape the Walled City itself.
Why I want this: 1. YA dystopian. 2. Sounds full of adventure. 3. Awesome cover! I like that the cover doesn't give anything away. Just the big typography and what looks like a labyrinth of walls. 4. Possible Asian influence and diverse characters. 5. Maybe a new series? We'll see. But it all sounds really awesome!
Okay yes this cover sold me. It looks so girly, but sounds so dystopian. LOL Thanks for sharing, Crystal!
