Waiting on Wednesday (#5)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog feature started by Jill at Breaking The Spine which spotlights future releases that we are looking forward to. Here is my pick for the week:


Title: Renegade
Author: J. A. Souders
Publisher: Tor Teen
Expected Release: Fall 2012

Since the age of three, sixteen-year-old Evelyn Winters has been trained to be Daughter of the People in the underwater utopia known as Elysium. Selected from hundreds of children for her ideal genes all her life she’s thought that everything was perfect; her world. Her people. The Law. 

But when Gavin Hunter, a Surface Dweller, accidentally stumbles into their secluded little world, she’s forced to come to a startling realization: everything she knows is a lie. Her memories have been altered. Her mind and body aren’t under her own control. And the person she knows as Mother is a monster. 

Together with Gavin she plans her escape, only to learn that her own mind is a ticking time bomb... and Mother has one last secret that will destroy them all.


This book has been on my wishlist for a while and I can't wait until it is finally released. I love the how complex and intriguing this world sounds. Plus, the cover for this book is gorgeous! Add it to your shelves on
Goodreads. :)
