Crash

Author: Lisa McMann
Goodreads Rating: 4.34
Pages: 233
Format: ARC


If what you see is what you get, Jules is in serious trouble. The suspenseful first of four books from the New York Timesbestselling author of the Wake trilogy.
Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that.
What she can’t handle is the recurring vision that haunts her. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode...and nine body bags in the snow.
The vision is everywhere—on billboards, television screens, windows—and she’s the only one who sees it. And the more she sees it, the more she sees. The vision is giving her clues, and soon Jules knows what she has to do. Because now she can see the face in one of the body bags, and it’s someone she knows. Someone she has been in love with for as long as she can remember.
In this riveting start to a gripping series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann, Jules has to act—and act fast—to keep her vision from becoming reality.

Eve

Author: Anna Carey
Goodreads Rating: 3.69
My Rating: 4 Stars
Pages: 322
Reviewed by: Nicole


This book spent too long sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to give it some attention. When I found out that there was chance that I would meet the author at a book signing this month, I decided that I had to read it before I went, so I added to the top of my to read pile. This book would have taken me 4 hours total to read this. (It came to a little less spanned over two days). Super quick, fun read, that reminded me of my love for dystopian literature.


Goodreads Synopses:


The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.

Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.



Review to follow the jump.
