Waiting on Wednesday (135)

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!

Title: Hold Me Like a Breath
Author: Tiffany Schmidt
Hitting the Shelves: May 19, 2015

Penelope Landlow has grown up with the knowledge that almost anything can be bought or sold—including body parts. She’s the daughter of one of the three crime families that control the black market for organ transplants.

Penelope’s surrounded by all the suffocating privilege and protection her family can provide, but they can't protect her from the autoimmune disorder that causes her to bruise so easily.

And in her family's line of work no one can be safe forever.

All Penelope has ever wanted is freedom and independence. But when she’s caught in the crossfire as rival families scramble for prominence, she learns that her wishes come with casualties, that betrayal hurts worse than bruises, that love is a risk worth taking . . . and maybe she’s not as fragile as everyone thinks.

Why I want this: Do I want to read about a girl whose family sells human organs on the black market? YES! This book sounds sooooo good! But then I see that cover and that title. That cover and that title tell me that this book is going to be a contemporary romance without reading the synopsis. I want this book to have a really sinister cover! And a way better title! Come on marketing and cover design department! What were you thinking? This cover does not scream "organs sold on the black market!" Nevertheless, I will most likely read it!
