Waiting on Wednesday (126): THE FEVER


WOW is hosted by Breaking the Spine


THE FEVER by Megan Abbott
June 17th, 2014 from Little, Brown, and Company

The panic unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community in a seemingly idyllic suburban community.

The Nash family is close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hocky star and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak spread through the family, school and community.

As hysteria and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.


This cover is kind of unnerving, and the story sounds intriguing and different!

What are you waiting on?

  2. What is she DOING?!? That's got me curious enough to pick up the book. (Seriously. Is she falling? Possessed? Slamming her head against the floor?)
