'Waiting On' Wednesday (19): Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes


**Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.**


Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Expected Publication Date: January 22nd 2013

Publisher: Egmont USA
From Goodreads:

There are people in this world who are Nobody. No one sees them. No one notices them. They live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away.

That’s why they make the perfect assassins.

The Institute finds these people when they’re young and takes them away for training. But an untrained Nobody is a threat to their organization. And threats must be eliminated.

Sixteen-year-old Claire has been invisible her whole life, missed by the Institute’s monitoring. But now they’ve ID’ed her and send seventeen-year-old Nix to remove her. Yet the moment he lays eyes on her, he can’t make the hit. It’s as if Claire and Nix are the only people in the world for each other. And they are—because no one else ever notices them.

Why I Can't Wait: This one popped up on my radar this week and I am already super excited for it! It is so hard to pinpoint what intrigues me the most because ALL OF IT does! A boy sent to assassinate a girl but falling in love with her instead? This just scream action and intensity and I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy and devour it!
