Did you enjoy that interview with Jodi Meadows? She was fun to talk to, that's for sure.
And now, here are some more super awesome sci-fi and fantasy books you have to look forward to!
Through To You
Author: Emily Hainsworth
Release Date: 20 November 2012
Add it on Goodreads!
Seventeen-year-old Camden Pike is grieving for his dead girlfriend until he discovers she's still alive in a parallel reality. The only problem is, she’s hiding some very dangerous secrets that have life-or-death repercussions in both worlds.
How does Emily Hainsworth summarize it?: "Through To You is a book about choices and it addresses a concept many of us wonder about. Would my life be different if I had turned left instead of right? Would I be a different person if I'd made another choice?"
Struck
Author: Jennifer Bosworth
Release Date: 8 May 2012
Add it on Goodreads!
Mia Price is a lightning addict. She’s survived countless strikes, but her craving to connect to the energy in storms endangers her life and the lives of those around her.
Los Angeles, where lightning rarely strikes, is one of the few places Mia feels safe from her addiction. But when an earthquake devastates the city, her haven is transformed into a minefield of chaos and danger. The beaches become massive tent cities, populated by millions of homeless. Downtown is a wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the attendees drawn to the destruction by a magnetic force they cannot deny. Two warring cults rise to power in the wake of the disaster, and both see Mia as the key to their opposing prophecies. They know she has a connection to the freak electrical storm that caused the quake, and to the worse storm that is yet to come.
Mia wants to trust the enigmatic and alluring Jeremy when he promises to protect her, but he’s hiding a more sinister truth. When the final disaster strikes, Mia must unleash the full horror of her strength to save them all.
How does Jennifer Bosworth summarize it?: "Struck is an apocalypse sandwich. The bread is the earthquake that destroyed Los Angeles, and a worse earthquake that the fanatical prophet of The Church of Light predicts is yet to come. The meat, cheese, condiments, etc are a teenage girl addicted to lightning, not one but two creepy doomsday cults, an enigmatic love interest who has, to quote the book 'the kind of hair you want to touch without permission,' and a traveling rave called 'the Rove' that moves to a different abandoned building in destroyed downtown LA every night. The finale will leave you electrified. That's a promise."
The Other Side
Author: Susannne Winnacker
Release Date: 1 May 2012
Add it on Goodreads!
3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since I’d seen daylight. One-fifth of my life. 98,409,602 seconds since the heavy, steel door had fallen shut and sealed us off from the world
Sherry has lived with her family in a sealed bunker since things went wrong up above. But when they run out of food, Sherry and her dad must venture outside. There they find a world of devastation, desolation...and the Weepers: savage, mutant killers.
When Sherry's dad is snatched, she joins forces with gorgeous but troubled Joshua - an Avenger, determined to destroy the Weepers.
But can Sherry keep her family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them all?
How does Susanne Winnacker summarize it?: "In The Other Life the apocalyptic events haven’t happened decades or centuries ago. Sherry was in a bunker with her family while everything changed outside and when she's forced to leave, she is thrust into a world she knows nothing of. She and the reader discover it together, have to learn about the dangers, brave them together. Sherry doesn’t have an advantage over the reader – they’re in this adventure together."
Are you as excited as I am for all three of these titles?
