Denton Little's Deathdate by Lance Rubin
Release Date April 14th 2015
Denton Little's Deathdate takes place in a world exactly like our own except that everyone knows the day they will die. For 17-year-old Denton Little, that's tomorrow, the day of his senior prom.
Despite his early deathdate, Denton has always wanted to live a normal life, but his final days are filled with dramatic firsts. First hangover. First sex. First love triangle (as the first sex seems to have happened not with his adoring girlfriend, but with his best friend's hostile sister. Though he's not totally sure. See: first hangover.) His anxiety builds when he discovers a strange purple rash making its way up his body. Is this what will kill him? And then a strange man shows up at his funeral, claiming to have known Denton's long-deceased mother, and warning him to beware of suspicious government characters…. Suddenly Denton's life is filled with mysterious questions and precious little time to find the answers.
Debut author Lance Rubin takes us on a fast, furious, and outrageously funny ride through the last hours of a teenager's life as he searches for love, meaning, answers, and (just maybe) a way to live on.

Why I'm Waiting?
A world where everyone knows exactly when they will die sounds very intriguing. If you knew your death date was the day of your senior prom would you do things differently?

Woah, this sounds SO intriguing! I've never a book with this concept before (although Numbers by Rachel Ward has a main character who can see what day everyone will die). I think that if well done, this story could be absolutely amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pick, thank you so much for sharing. <3

This is completely new to me, but it sure is something unique! I don't know what I would do differently if I knew when that day was going to arrive..... I sure want poor Denton to live past his 17th year!

ReplyDeleteNemo @ Blame it on the Book

ReplyDeleteOnly found out about this one last week, and YES. I mean, I'd hate to know when I was going to die, so it's going to be interesting to read. :)
ReplyDeleteThis book really does sound intriguing! And it isn't on my to-read list yet either. Off to add it now! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good! And the cover makes me laugh bc it reminds me of these guys who live in my hometown. They're young, wear leisure suits, and drive a hearse. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI heard about this one via another WoW a few weeks ago, and it sounds so quirky!! Personally I would NOT want to know when my "death-date" was... at least, I don't think I would. I'd probably curl into a ball and watch the seconds tick down. O_O
ReplyDeleteI always discover great books from your blog! Thanks for sharing this one. It sounds so exciting and mysterious!
