Waiting on... a stand-alone/new series:
Renegade by J.A. Souders (Tor Teen, November 13th 2012)
Since the age of three, sixteen-year-old Evelyn Winters has been trained to be Daughter of the People in the underwater utopia known as Elysium. Selected from hundreds of children for her ideal genes all her life she’s thought that everything was perfect; her world. Her people. The Law.
But when Gavin Hunter, a Surface Dweller, accidentally stumbles into their secluded little world, she’s forced to come to a startling realization: everything she knows is a lie. Her memories have been altered. Her mind and body aren’t under her own control. And the person she knows as Mother is a monster.
Together with Gavin she plans her escape, only to learn that her own mind is a ticking time bomb... and Mother has one last secret that will destroy them all.
Waiting on... a sequel
Ana has always been the only one. Asunder. Apart. But after Templedark, when many residents of Heart were lost forever, some hold Ana responsible for the darksouls–and the newsouls who may be born in their place.
Many are afraid of Ana’s presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable changes and the unknown. When sylph begin behaving differently toward her and people turn violent, Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself but for those who cannot stand up for themselves.Ana was told that nosouls can’t love. But newsouls? More than anything, she wants to live and love as an equal among the citizens of Heart, but even when Sam professes his deepest feelings, it seems impossible to overcome a lifetime of rejection.

ReplyDeleteInteresting way you have these broken down!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to reading Renegade (luckily, I was able to hop on a blog tour). I'm not sure about the sequel to Incarnate. I LIKED it, but I didn't love it. I'll probably read it eventually.

I'm also really looking forward to Asunder. Illuminate was a very pleasant surprise for me this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Working for the Mandroid!
Thanks for visiting my blog. :) I still can't get past that cover for Renegade. The girl just doesn't LOOK RIGHT. Maybe it's just my problem... The overall cover is pretty cool though and the synopsis makes this sound amazing.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read Incarnate, but I plan to! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd Renegade looks super awesome! I'm on the blog tour for it. hehe.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Renegade and Assunder both look really good! I need to read Incarnate first though. i'm not sure why I haven't gotten to it yet.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Incarnate! The series has such pretty covers, and it'd be a shame to not read the books that go alongside them! Renegade sounds awesome too, thanks for highlighting that one!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I have Incarnate but haven't read it yet, and also really want to read Renegade. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late comment! Work has been insane and I've had hardly any time since I put up my WoW post to get back online. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Sounds like there's some neat genre-blending going on in Renegade! I haven't yet read Jodi Meadows' first book Incarnate, but I've heard some good things. Always the problem of too many books to read and too little time, LOL :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Renegade! It sounds awesome and I love the cover. Haven't read Incarnate yet but I love the covers in that series. Great picks :).
ReplyDeleteYay! Awesome picks :D Dying to read both of these books. <3 they seem so good ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my WoW. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
The first pick sound awesome! Might have to add to my own TBR list.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for passing by my post last week. I do appreciate the comment.
