It’s a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.
Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.
Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?
Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.
The first in a sweeping science fiction trilogy, These Broken Stars is a timeless love story about hope and survival in the face of unthinkable odds.
Sci-fi, survival romance? Spaceships? Titanic vibes? Creepy planet? Two people thrown together with only themselves to rely on? Oh yeah, bring that awesome on.

Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.
Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.
After the ending of The Immortal Rules, I’m super excited to see where Julie takes us next!
So… what are you looking forward to this Wednesday?
Man, this is the 2nd WoW post I’ve seen today that’s highlighting These Broken Stars! I *almost* posted about it today, too, but decided to save it for next week, lol!
The Eternity Cure also looks awesome. I really want to read that series!
Yeah, I think the official cover must’ve just come out, and what an amazing cover! And I still need to read the Blood of Eden series too. 😛 I’m a little torn because I LOVE Julie Kagawa, but… it’s… vampires? lol
Hahaha, I feel the same way. It looks so interesting and then I’m reminded that it’s vampires and lose interest again.
Awesome picks!

I know, right?! 😉 lol And thank you for visiting our WoW!
‘These Broken Stars’ has a gorgeous cover and ‘The Eternity Cure’ sounds awesome. Thanks so much for sharing & for stopping by my post!
It really does have a gorgeous cover. I’m COMPLETELY in love with it. The symbolism in the divide between them, the dress, the typography, the stars… it reminds me of Michaelangelo’s Creation of Adam… and the cover of Tempest by Julie Cross… but better. lol
This. This is how you do a cover.
Thanks for stopping by our WoW!
These Broken Stars sounds great and I recently finished The Eternity Cure and really liked it!
