Spine and is where we can talk about books we are looking
forward to being released!
Here are my picks for the week:
Summary:
The only thing worse than forgetting her past... is remembering it.
When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe.
Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.
Crippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she’s running out of time to answer them.
Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget?
From popular young adult author, Jessica Brody comes a mesmerizing and suspenseful new series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten.

Why I'm Waiting:
The cover for this book really caught my eye and I love how the blurriness reflects the fact that Seraphina has no memories of her life before the plane crash. Also, the fact that she's unknown to the world really intrigues me!
Summary:
When Philip Walker appears as a new student in Michele Windsor's high school class, she is floored. He is the love she thought she lost forever when they said goodbye during her time travels last century. Overjoyed that they can resume the relationship they had a lifetime ago, Michele eagerly approaches him and discovers the unthinkable: he doesn't remember her. In fact, he doesn't seem to remember anything about the Philip Walker of 1910.
Michele then finds her father's journals, which tell stories of his time-traveling past. As she digs deeper, she learns about his entanglement with a mysterious and powerful organization called the Time Society and his dealings with a vengeful Windsor ancestor. Michele soon finds herself at the center of a rift over 120 years in the making, one whose resolution will have life-or-death consequences.
Alexandra Monir's Timekeeper combines breathtaking romance with a tale of complex magic in a sequel that will have every reader believing in the transcendent power of love.

Why I'm Waiting:
I read the first book in this series Timeless (Timeless #1) by Alexandra Monir back in November 2011 and I loved it so much I read it in something like 3 hours. I can't wait to see what happens between Michele and Philip in this second book by Alexandra Monir.
Now, what are YOU waiting for this
Wednesday?
I get the reasoning behind the blurry cover but I've seen too many of them lately, pretty tired of it. I hadn't heard of either of these before though so thank you for sharing them! ^.^ If you'd like to check out my Waiting On Wednesday post you can do so here. :)
ReplyDeleteUnremembered sounds so cool!! I hadn't heard of the Timekeepers series, but now I'm interested in it too!!

Unremembered sounds so mysterious! I'm very curious where the girl came from and why there is no record for her. I haven't read Timeless yet but I heard it was a very sweet time travel book! I love time travel so I've been dying to read it.
