The Watcher - Book Blitz

The Watcher

by Lisa Voisin

Release Date: 03/04/13

Summary from Goodreads:

Millennia ago, he fell from heaven for her.

Can he face her without falling again?

Fascinated with ancient civilizations, seventeen-year-old Mia Crawford dreams of becoming an archaeologist. She also dreams of wings—soft and silent like snow—and somebody trying to steal them.

When a horrible creature appears out of thin air and attacks her, she knows Michael Fontaine is involved, though he claims to know nothing about it. Secretive and aloof, Michael evokes feelings in Mia that she doesn’t understand. Images of another time and place haunt her. She recognizes them—but not from any textbook.

In search of the truth, Mia discovers a past life of forbidden love, jealousy and revenge that tore an angel from Heaven and sent her to an early grave. Now that her soul has returned, does she have a chance at loving that angel again? Or will an age-old nemesis destroy them both?

Ancient history is only the beginning.

Vendetta Nation - 5 Star Review

For me, the Enigma Black series is an addiction.  It is a story that I don't want to end and cannot get enough of.  I first read Enigma Black earlier this year and waited (quite impatiently) for Vendetta Nation so I could see where Sarah Furlong Burr would take us next.  Boy, she did NOT disappoint!

Picking up right where we left off in Enigma Black, Vendetta Nation continues the roller coaster journey of Celaine and her new partner Ian in their quest for the Man in Black.  They know that they are working for President Brooks since his administration is the source of the Epicenter's funding.  But do loyalties towards Brooks run even deeper from others within the Epicenter ranks?  Just who is the mysterious and dangerous Man in Black? And why is he so interested in Celaine?  Yes, we find out the answers to all of these questions.  But don't go thinking that we get all the answers with a nice little bow on top.  Oh no... we just get more questions.  Can we say holy cliffhanger, Batman?  I seriously cannot wait for the next installment!

I'm a huge fan of dystopians anyways, but adding a little superhero into the mix takes it to the next level.  Plus I love Burr's writing style!  With this one book I swooned over Ian, laughed, cried, cheered, and more!

Daughter of Isis (Descendants of Isis, #1)

by Kelsey Ketch

Release Date: 10/26/13

Cover Designed by: Steven Novak

Summary from Goodreads:

“Her mouth parted slightly, waiting for Seth to breathe life into her own body, just like in the story. She wanted him to awaken her senses.”

Their worlds collide in California’s high desert.

The last thing Natara “Natti” Stone wants to do is to start anew at Setemple High School. She wished she had never left London. Yet the brutal murder of her maternal grandmother has made her life very complicated. The only clue related to her murder is an ancient, encrypted necklace Natti discovered after her grandmother’s death. And if trying to adjust to American life is not enough, Natti is being stalked by a mysterious, charming high school senior, Seth O’Keefe, who is annoyingly persistent in his attempts at seduction.

Seth O’Keefe is secretly a member of the Sons of Set, an order that worships the Egyptian god of chaos. Seth’s blessing from Set, his “charm,” never failed, except with one person: Natti Stone. Her ability to elude him infatuates and infuriates him, and he becomes obsessed with the chase. But the closer he gets to her, the more his emotions take a dangerous turn, and he risks breaking one of the most valued covenants of his order. The punishment for which is a fate worse than death.

The adventure this unlikely couple becomes engulfed in could cost them their lives and their souls.

Submerged (Outbreak #1)

by Nicole Sobon

Release Date: 02/14/13

Summary from Goodreads:

After a mysterious virus makes its way into the United States, the government demands that states seal themselves off from one another and do their best to protect their surviving residents. When the state of Florida is bordered off from the surrounding states, Taylen Fincher, a seventeen-year-old girl with a yearning for her former life finds herself wondering how much of what they’ve been told is true.

When Troum took control of the state, he told the residents that the other states had fallen to the virus and that he wouldn’t allow the same thing to happen to them. But Taylen doesn’t believe it. She insists that there is still life outside of the state, and she is going to do whatever it takes to prove it… but her actions will cost her more than she ever expected.

Troum kidnaps Taylen’s sister, Penelope, in hopes of coaxing her into behaving – into being a submissive resident, much like the others. But Taylen isn’t one to give in that easily.

Eager to rescue her sister, Taylen will set out on an adventure that’ll force her to open her heart to the unexpected and to uncover secrets that will change everything.

SUBMERGED is the first book in a YA dystopian duology.

Available from: (only $.99!)
  

~~Excerpt~~

“Milo, can I ask you something?” I asked, lifting my hand to my lip.

“Not here.” He looked back at Penelope and signaled for me to follow him outside. “Come on.”

I followed Milo out of the Hovercopter, nearly running into him when he stopped suddenly at the end of the walkway. “If you’re wondering if I knew, I didn’t,” he paused, lowering himself onto the ground, “My parents were faithful followers, unwilling to believe things could only get worse after the Outbreak. Though I can’t say much, after all, I was just as naive as they were.”

You weren’t the only one, I thought.

“I had a twin sister,” he said after a moment of silence.

“What happened to her?”

“She died.” He lowered his head as if not sure he wanted to discuss it, but he continued, “Our parents insisted that we join the guard on our seventeenth birthday. She did her best to follow Troum, but over time, she began to grow tired of fighting for a system that clearly didn’t care for its people. She’d spent most of her time serving the Widowed Sector, where she met a boy her age.”

“They fell in love,” I said, knowing exactly where this story was headed.

“I don't think that it was love. I’d say it was longing more than anything,” he corrected. “She knew what would happen if she began a relationship with a resident, especially one from the Widowed Sector, but she didn’t care.”

“What was her name?” I took a seat next to Milo, resting my head in my hand.

“Miranda,” he said, smiling. “She was a lot like you, you know.”

“I’m not entirely sure that is a good thing.”

“It is.” Milo reached for my hand.

Clan - promo

Clan
by Realm Lovejoy
Release Date: 11/12/13

Summary from Goodreads:
Clans are Unity.

No variation. No deviation.

On Clades, to be a Clan is to be an exact copy. 
A perfect society cloning themselves to survive, even as the zombielike Frags threaten to overrun them on an unforgiving planet. 

Clan 1672 (privately known as Twain) was never supposed to survive the Incubation Tank. 
But he did. Illegally. 
He is different from the other Clans. 

A secret that could destroy him.

Kirkus Reviews: "In this fast-paced novel, Lovejoy uses economical prose while developing the story’s characters and setting in detail. She also meets the challenge of creating memorable characters in a world of identical people..." (Read more here!)

Available from:

Excerpt:

Clone.

By saying I’m a clone I immediately become the unimportant copy. The faceless guy with the same haircut as my Brethren.

A borrower—not my own being. I walk in someone else’s shoes.

At least that’s how I was supposed to be.
