"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Erased by Jennifer Rush
Book Two of the Altered series
Publisher: Little, Brown
Publication Date: January 7, 2014
Summary (from Goodreads):
They thought they had escaped. They were wrong.
After fleeing the Branch with Sam, Cas, and Nick, Anna is trying to make sense of the memories resurfacing from her old life. At the same time, she's learning how to survive in hiding, following Sam's rules: Don't draw attention to yourself. Always carry a weapon. Know your surroundings. Watch your back.
Then a figure from Anna's childhood reappears. Is it a Branch setup, or could it be the reunion Anna has hoped for? Uncertain of where her loyalties lie, Anna must fight to learn the truth -- before she is betrayed again. Ultimately, the answers hinge on one question: What was the real reason her memories were erased?
Yes I did read Altered (review HERE), and yes I did LOVE it. Gimmee an ARC, Little, Brown, pleasepleaseplease!
I completely forgot about this series! It definitely looks good, I'll have to see if the library has the first one.
ReplyDeleteOMG! How could you forget?! You MUST read Altered :D
DeleteI haven't gotten around to reading the first one and the series looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do read it sometime!
DeleteI can't wait to read this book either! Altered was so good and I need to know what happens next. I hadn't seen that they had changed the cover, but it looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteChristina @ Book Lover Recommends
Altered was AMAZING! One of my favorites of the year so far. And the cover reveal and changes happened quite recently! I like them, but I prefer Altered's old cover. Good thing I have a hardcover copy already!
DeleteI have seen Altered around but then I saw some really negative reviews that I gave up on it. I'm interested about the sequel maybe it'll make me read this series. Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteTanja @ Ja čitam, a ti?
I haven't seen any negative reviews for Altered yet. I mean, they exist, but I follow reviews of experienced and reputable bloggers, and the reviews I've read are all positive!
DeleteThank you!
Oh, loved the first book too :D Dying to read this! Hope you'll love it. <3
ReplyDeleteRight?! Thank you!
DeleteOoh nice! Haven't heard of this series I don't think! Might have to go look it up! Hope you get lucky with that ARC! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW

DeleteSounds good, I always like stories where memories have been wiped. :) Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I usually don't, but this series is fantastic. Thank you!
DeleteI hope you do read Altered sometime!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first one, although ti sounds good so I may have to check it out!

ReplyDeleteYou need to, Rachel! Thank you so much! <3
DeleteI hope you do read it sometime!
ReplyDeleteI have heard many good things about the first book in the series, so I'll have to add both Altered and this one to my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you can get an ARC of this one!
It's a fantastic thriller series! I hope you read them both, Pili. And thank you!
DeleteI STILL HAVEN'T READ ALTERED!!! :O AHHHRRRRR. And have they changed the cover?! I think I liked seeing his whole body ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW! I will try to get the book ASAP :D

SAM, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! The covers did change, and I'm kind of ehhh about it for Altered, but I like how it looks on Erased. But you bring up a good point.
DeleteThank you!
I still haven't read book one. It's another one of those 'I bought it in print but I only like reading ebooks now' kind of thing like POison Princess. Next time I see it on sale for the Kindle, I am snatching it up, I hear it's yummy!
ReplyDeleteAwww, Nereyda! I totally understand though. I hope you read and enjoy this series! It is quite a yummy series ;)
DeleteSo I saw they changed the cover for Erased (sad face) but I didn't see Altered. I went and looked now and gah. I know it's not a huge change compared to the original cover but why?! Why can't things just be left the way they are? I like my books matching, dammit. And I agree with an earlier comment, I like seeing more of them ;) I mean, I GUESS the new covers are little more eye popping but still. Cover changes mid-way through REALLY bother me.
ReplyDeleteThey changed the cover of both books! I prefer Altered's original cover, but I like Erased's new cover. I totally get you though - the ABS :D
DeleteI agree with the irritation with cover changes, especially midway through a series. Because then I feel like I should have ALL of the books matching, and that means, buy a whole new set. Which is expensive. Bleh :\
What I don't understand is why they don't just change the PAPERBACK covers. So those that are die-hards of the books will go out and buy BOTH the hardcover and paperback. I mean, that's what I did for Scorpio Races...I loved the paperback cover so much (and I loved the book that much) that I went out and bought that after having already owned the hardcover. It just makes me depressed to look at my bookshelf and see my books not match. Like I'm looking at Shatter Me right now and I'm glaring. (On the other hand, someone like Bloomsbury changed the Throne of Glass covers BUT they made their spines match, so I could give them a hug for that).
DeleteI'm on the fence about the new covers. On the one hand, I like them more but on the other, I don't. But I think I'm with you, I like the new Erased but the old Altered lol!
Ahhh, that makes sense. I would totally buy the hardcover set, and *maybe* the paperback set for this series. ONLY for this series though. And I so know what you mean about Shatter Me! My friend bought my the paperback for Christmas (thank goodness), and mine match, but I totally get it. And you know what? I never noticed the spines! But I also got the paperback of Throne of Glass, so mine match in that instance as well.
DeleteI wish they could have stuck it out and waited until the series finished, but I get why they did. Probably wanted to market to a different audience. And right?! I'm glad I got the Altered hardcover (which you did too, right? It's so pretty. *pets*)
