Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly blog post hosted by Breaking The Spine. For this week's Waiting On Wednesday I chose *drumroll* Insomnia by J.R. Johansson


(Insomnia)

Author: J.R. Johansson
Page Count: 360
Publisher: Flux
Expected Publication:
June 8,2013
It’s been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me.

Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp enters the dream of the last person he’s had eye contact with. He spends his nights crushed by other people’s fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets—and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion is crippling him. If nothing changes, Parker could soon be facing psychosis and even death.

Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. Parker starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia’s eye every day. Everyone at school thinks he’s gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it’s Parker.

Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is him after all?

Why Am I Waiting
We have all suffered with insomnia at some point in time and when it happens the effect it has on our well being is sometimes crushing. Now kick that up 10 notches and add in the ability to see into people's dreams and mind screw city here we come. Yeah, this book sounds like it will be creepy, disturbing, and possibly even deadly which means a total win in my book!!!

That wraps up my Waiting on Wednesday, leave me the link to yours so I can check it out as well! Have you heard of this book? If so, Do you plan on reading it? What do you think of the cover? Let me Know In The Comments Below! I love reading your responses.
