Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books we’re excited about with other bloggers and readers. This past week I’ve added quite a few new titles to my TBR pile, and this is one of them:
The Damned by Andrew Pyper. Releases in February from Simon & Schuster. ‘Tis the season for a creepy horror novel, and this one looks perfect! I haven’t read Pyper’s The Demonologist, but I’ve got it on my “to read” shelf and I’ve heard great things about it. Here’s the Goodreads description for The Damned:
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Demonologist, called “smart, thrilling, utterly unnerving” by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn, comes a spine-tingling supernatural thriller about a survivor of a near-death experience haunted by his beautiful, vindictive twin sister.
He’ll have to go to hell and back…Danny Orchard wrote a bestselling memoir about his near-death experience in a fire that claimed the life of his twin sister, Ashleigh, but despite the resulting fame and fortune he’s never been able to enjoy his second chance at life. Ash won’t let him.
In life, Danny’s charming and magnetic twin had been a budding psychopath who privately terrorized her family—and death hasn’t changed her wicked ways. Ash has haunted Danny for twenty years and now, just when he’s met the love of his life and has a chance at real happiness, she wants more than ever to punish him for being alive—so she sets her sights on Danny’s new wife and stepson.
Danny knows what Ash really wants is him, and he’s prepared to sacrifice himself in order to save the ones he loves. The question is: will he make it back this time?
A book about a crazy dead girl? Absolutely! Let me know what you’re waiting on:-D
That is a spooky looking cover and I can’t really explain why.
I am always creeped out by half-hidden faces myself:-D
The shadows on her face and neck. And the hint of red on her shoulder. Creepy.

Looking forward to this one myself. And it certainly is a very creepy cover – I think you’re right – it’s because of only seeing half the face.
