Coming Attraction: Cursed

I love this cover. It's so simple, but it pulls me in and makes me curious. I'm a fan of jewel tones, what can I say? Anyway, beyond the cover, the synopsis of this really caught me. I mean, not so much what it says because there are about a million YA books that could slip into this same slot; no, it's more about how it says it.  I mean... " Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows." Seriously.Also "not've" is really underused in print. Overall, I approve.Anyone looking forward to this one?

Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout
312 pages
Expected publication: September 18th 2012 by Spencer Hill Press
Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he’s a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she’s more than interested. There’s just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she’s willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't?

But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she’s not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time
