“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine where we spotlight books we are eagerly anticipating.
The Unbound by Victoria Schwab
Expected Publication: January 28th, 2014
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she’s struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn’t easy — not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she’s really safe.
Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She’s sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she’ll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels?
With stunning prose and a captivating mixture of action, romance, and horror, The Unbound delves into a richly imagined world where no choice is easy and love and loss feel like two sides of the same coin.
The Unbound is the sequel to The Archived which I really enjoyed (and have a review of coming soon). I’m reallly looking forward to seeing how Mac juggles going to school and her job as a Keeper. Hopefully we get to learn a bit more about Wes in this one too.
So what are you waiting on?
I was lucky enough to win an eARC of The Unbound and it is an amazing book. Just as good if not better than the first! I am really looking forward to so many books, but my biggest is Ignite Me by Mafi! I can’t wait for that one!

I’ve not read the first book, but I do want to check it out sometime 🙂 Love the covers of this series! Great pick and thanks for stopping by My WW!
The covers are amazing, and it’s one of those books with the really soft matte finishes.
