Waiting on Wednesday - 10

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking The Spine. This week's choice is:

The Line by Teri Hall - release date March 4, 2010


An invisible, uncrossable physical barrier encloses the Unified States. The Line is the part of the border that lopped off part of the country, dooming the inhabitants to an unknown fate when the enemy used a banned weapon. It’s said that bizarre creatures and superhumans live on the other side, in Away. Nobody except tough old Ms. Moore would ever live next to the Line.

Nobody but Rachel and her mother, who went to live there after Rachel’s dad died in the last war. It’s a safe, quiet life. Until Rachel finds a mysterious recorded message that can only have come from Away. The voice is asking for help.

Who sent the message? Why is her mother so protective? And to what lengths is Rachel willing to go in order to do what she thinks is right?


The Line is Teri Hall's debut novel. I love a good dsytopian, and this one is on my Debut Authors Challenge List. I'm really looking forward to this one!

I heard about this book a few months back and can't wait to read it! You'd think I'd get tired of reading/writing dystopian, but it just never gets old.
