This week's Waiting on Wednesday book is:
Title: Let the Sky Fall (Let the Sky Fall #1)
Author: Shannon Messenger
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication date: March 5th 2013
Pre-order the book: Amazon / Barnes and Noble
Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston has no idea how he survived the category five tornado that killed his parents. And he has no idea if the beautiful, dark-haired girl who’s swept through his dreams every night since the storm is real. But he hopes she is.
Seventeen-year-old Audra is a sylph, an air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even coax it into a weapon with a simple string of commands. She’s also a guardian—Vane’s guardian—and has sworn an oath to protect Vane at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life.
When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra’s forced to help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim—the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock the memory Audra needs him to forget. And their greatest danger is not the warriors coming to destroy them—but the forbidden romance that’s grown between them.

Why I'm excited to read this:
The idea of elementals is really cool and I've never heard of a book tackling that particular supernatural so it's not that shocking that I'd be really excited for this!
Leave us a comment with your WoW post and we'll check it out! :)
I like the concept of this book, although "forbidden romance" can be a hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's awesome and sometimes it seriously ticks me off. I suppose we shall see. ;) Thanks for sharing.

I've also wanted to read this ever since I saw that it was about air elementals. They really don't get much space in YA :)
