Books4Juliet, Whatever You Can Still Betray & Refracted Light
1.) So. I did it. I FINALLY finished Embrace by Jessica Shirvington. And it was good! Not your typical angel book. It had some really interesting and original elements to it, and though it does have a love triangle, it’s a slightly different take. I also read Drip Drop Teardrop by Samantha Young… which was pretty much a romance for romance’s sake. A little light on plot, but a quick read.
2.) So… this week. I just got another book, Glimmer, from Around the World ARC Tours that I MUST finish by Tuesday. So I’m gonna just stick with that one for this week, but I’m also hoping to get to Finnikin of the Rock — a book I’ve been meaning to read since Spring 2011.
What if you forgot your identity and had to rely on other people to tell you who you were? And what if to discover your true self, you first had to unravel a mystery so big and terrifying you were not sure you’d survive solving it? When Marshall and Elyse wake up in each other’s arms with zero memory of how they got there or who they are, it’s the start of a long journey through their separate pasts and shared future. Terrified by their amnesia, the two make a pact to work together to find the answers that could jog their missing memories. As they piece together clues, they discover they’re in the idyllic mountain resort town of Summer Falls, where everyone seems mysteriously happy, but as Marshall and Elyse quickly learn, darkness lurks beneath the town’s perfect facade. Not only is the town haunted by sinister ghosts, but none of its living inhabitants retain bad memories of anything—not the death of Marshall’s mom, not the hidden shame in Elyse’s family, not even the day-to-day anguish of high school. Lonely in this world of happy zombies, Marsh and Elyse fall into an intense relationship…but the secrets they uncover could be the death of this growing love—and the death of everyone, and everything, they love in Summer Falls.
So what are you reading this week?
Embrace has been going around recently and I have half a mind to read it. Angels are, after all, my 2nd/3rd fave to read although I don’t really relish love triangles but you said that there’s a different take to it.
Oh! Phoebe Kitanidis has another book and it’s dystopian. Okay. That genre is really all around these days. Btw, does Whisper have a sequel?
Glimmer sounds so awesome!! I can’t wait for it to come out. Embrace has been getting some pretty great reviews too.
