Waiting on Wednesday: Dissonance by Erica O'Rourke


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by us, that highlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication 'can't-wait-to-read' selection is:

DissonanceTitle: Dissonance
Author: Erica O'Rourke
Release Date: 6th August 2014
Publisher: Simon & Schuster BFYR
Find on: Amazon, Goodreads

Delancy Sullivan has always known there's more to reality than what people see. Every time someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world branches off from the existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed ~ all of these choices create an alternate universe in which an echo self takes the road not travelled and makes the opposite decision. As a Walker, someone who can navigate between these worlds, Del's job is to keep all of the dimensions in harmony. Normally, Del can hear the dissonant frequency that each world emits as clear as a bell. But when a training session in an off-key world goes horribly wrong, she is forbidden from Walking by the Council. But Del's not big on following the rules and she secretly starts to investigate these other worlds. Something strange connecting them and it's not just her random encounters with echo versions of the guy she likes, Simon Lane. But Del's decisions have unimaginable consequences and, as she begins to fall for the Echo Simons in each world, she draws closer to a truth that the Council of Walkers is trying to hide ~ a secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse.

The story sounds so so cool! I really really wish I could do what Del can do. It would be amazing to see what happens after people make a particular decision. It's like seeing the unseeable future! Also the romance is interesting. Imagine falling in love with the same guy but in different worlds... 

BUT

IT'S ONLY COMING OUT IN 2014!!!!! Why?!?

  2. That sounds AMAZING! I like the whole thing about how each world gives off its own pitch.

  3. The thought of so many worlds existing from every decision of every person to follow the opposite path makes my head hurt. That's a lot of worlds! None-the-less this sounds intriguing!

    Thanks for the pick.
