1. Never trust anyone.
2. Remember they are always searching.
3. Don’t get involved.
4. Keep your head down.
5. Don’t fall in love.
Five simple rules. Ariane Tucker has followed them since the night she escaped from the genetics lab where she was created, the result of combining human and extraterrestrial DNA. Ariane’s survival—and that of her adoptive father—depends on her ability to blend in among the full-blooded humans, to hide in plain sight from those who seek to recover their lost (and expensive) “project.”
But when a cruel prank at school goes awry, it puts her in the path of Zane Bradshaw, the police chief’s son and someone who sees too much. Someone who really sees her. After years of trying to be invisible, Ariane finds the attention frightening—and utterly intoxicating. Suddenly, nothing is simple anymore, especially not the rules…
Why do I want to read this book? Two words… Stacey Kade. ‘Nuf said.

Expected Publication: January 8, 2013
A world-defying love is put to the ultimate test in the heart-stopping sequel to Veronica Rossi’s “masterpiece,” Under the Never Sky. (Examiner.com)
It’s been months since Aria last saw Perry. Months since Perry was named Blood Lord of the Tides, and Aria was charged with an impossible mission. Now, finally, they are about to be reunited. But their reunion is far from perfect. The Tides don’t take kindly to Aria, a former Dweller. And with the worsening Aether storms threatening the tribe’s precarious existence, Aria begins to fear that leaving Perry behind might be the only way to save them both.
Threatened by false friends, hidden enemies, and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night?
In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and dystopian elements to create a captivating love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.
Despite the obvious Tom Cruisiness of the cover, (I really love the continuity but do NOT like the model they picked for Perry) I am really looking forward to the next segment in Perry and Aria’s story.
So what are you looking forward to this week?
I haven’t heard of The Rules before this but it definitely sounds different and intrigues me. And of course Through the Ever Night is high on my list of most anticipated books in 2013! Loved the first one! Great picks!
My W.O.W.
Hehe While I was reading this first part with the “rules” it sounded like the rules in the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Maar! The Rules sounds like a great pick!
I’m getting so excited for The Rules too!
I think The Rules sounds awesome, but the title is a little cheesy in my opinion. And the cover model for Through the Ever Night looks like he just stepped off a runway instead of out of the desert! But oh well, I loved Under The Never Sky and can’t wait to check it out, too! Both sound really awesome!

Totally agree. There is no blonde shagginess. No tattoos. No Perry-ness. At least the content is promising.
The rules sounds so good but I really love the cover to through the ever night!
Check out my pick! My WoW!
Thanks for commenting! =)
This is the second time I have seen The Rules today. It sounds like it is going to be really good. I am looking forward to Ever Night also. Great choices!
