ADD ON GOODREADS
Sixteen-year-old Evening Spiker lives an affluent life in San Francisco with her mother, EmmaRose, a successful geneticist and owner of Spiker Biotech. Sure, Evening misses her father who died mysteriously, but she’s never really questioned it. Much like how she’s never stopped to think how off it is that she’s never been sick. That is, until she’s struck by a car and is exposed to extensive injuries. Injuries that seem to be healing faster than physically possible.
While recuperating in Spiker Biotech’s lush facilities, she meets Solo Plissken, a very attractive, if off-putting boy her age who spent his life at Spiker Biotech. Like Evening, he’s never questioned anything...until now. Solo drops hints to Evening that something isn’t right, and Emma-Rose may be behind it. Evening puts this out of her mind and begins her summer internship project: To simulate the creation of the perfect boy. With the help of Solo, Evening uncovers secrets so big they could change the world completely.
I love the premise for this and really, really hope it delivers. Katherine Applegate is a new author to me and this is the first time I have ever come across her, but I am a fan of Michael Grant's work so I have high hopes for this one. Let me know if you like the sound of this and feel free to leave links. :)
This one sounds kinda cool, hadn't heard of it before! Not a huuuuuge fan of the cover tho

This sounds amazing! I'm not a huge fan of Michael Grant but this premise is just...so interesting. Thanks for sharing your WoW. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sounds interesting. I feel like when it comes to the bible story, everyone shames Eve. But it's nice to see that in this interpretation it seems like she's the one in charge. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteHi there :) just popping in... I've never heard of this before but wow sounds amazing. I will definitely be giving this book a go!
ReplyDeleteHere is my choice...

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you picked another amazing book I've never heard about and turned it into a novel I'm dying to read -- with your WOW post! x) I can't imagine how strong my want would've been if you wrote a positive review for it, especially with that gorgeous cover and cool-sounding synopsis. It doesn't sound like anything I've heard of in a long time, and I love that about it! <3
ReplyDeleteAmazing pick for your WOW this week, Sam! I love it when two others join together to write a book -- I hope this one doesn't disappoint too! :)
I like book co-authored by a guy and girl and I've never heard of this so thanks for posting about it!
ReplyDeleteWow..I never knew Michael Grant was working with another author! This definitely sounds interesting- although i hope there isn't a lot of "genetics terminology" if you know what i mean....Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before, but I'd definitely be willing to give this a try! Great pick!

Another awesome pick Sam, the whole idea of injuries healing faster than normal reminds me a bit of wolverine from X-men! Thanks for bringing this book to my attention! Another book I'll be adding to my tbr! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, this is new to me, so thanks for bringing it to my attention, Sam. I'm going to have to add it now, aren't I? lol :)
ReplyDeleteOh this one has me excited, I really like the sound of it. And Evening, a weird name, huh? I haven't heard of it before, thanks for sharing Sam.
ReplyDeleteSounds really good. thanks for sharing. Though I till admit when I saw the image pop up I thought it was another mocking of Twilight until I read the tag line
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I really like Grant's Gone series too!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, the summary for this book sounds so unique and cool! I knew it would be once I saw the amazing cover. I haven't heard of it but I now want to read it! I like it when authors collaborate so hopefully this doesn't disappoint. Fantastic pick, Sam!

ReplyDeletePatricia // My WOW
Sounds good. The book and the authors are all new to me!
ReplyDeleteOur WoW is at Book Sake. –Jessica
i just saw this on goodreads, I know Katherine Applegate writes contemporaries so it was interesting to see she has a non-contemporary coming out! Premise sounds like it can go both ways, either fantastic or too cliche. Hope its good!
ReplyDeletegreat pic :)

Wow. The cover is fabulous!! :) ;) Awesome pick Sam!!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds awesomely weird, and knowing Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate, I suspect it will also be awesomely gritty. Re: Katherine Applegate, she wrote the Animorphs series, and she's also Michael Grant's wife. ;D I'm really interested to see how this turns out.
ReplyDeleteI just found that out on another blog today! I had no idea but I love that they are writing together. Thanks for letting me know. :)
DeleteThis is the third time that I see this book today in the WOWs, the story sounds really good. I need to add it to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
This does sound exciting and different I like books with a scifi element. Really love the cover on this one as well. There are so many great books coming out this fall! Thanks for sharing, Sam.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, this does sound like a book worth waiting for!

I haven't heard of this book before! Great pick! New follower :) Check out my WoW and my GIVEAWAYS!
ReplyDeleteSuper amazing pick, Sam! The premise of this book has been around my mind ever since I first read the blurb! I really need to read more scifi books! I can't wait for October to come, and have I mentioned that the cover is gorgeous? ;)
ReplyDeleteOoo, this one sounds cool. I think those two authors are married, right? I downloaded GONE last year when it was only $1.99 but I still haven't gotten around to it yet! Someone was just nudging me about that recently.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up, Sam, I hadn't heard of this one. :)

The cover reminds me of Genesis a little bit, which I suppose is not surprising considering the topic. I hadn't really noticed this one before, but it sounds really interesting. Sorry for not stopping by sooner, I've been away(busier than ever) this entire week.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most genuinely intriguing blurbs for a book I've read in... umm... ever? SO interesting! Can't wait to see more :D
