Swoon Thursday (#145): Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

Swoon Thursday is a hot meme hosted by the fabulous ladies at YA Bound!


- From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering

- Try to make the swoon excerpt 140 characters (or less), if you are going to tweet about it. Use the hashtag #YABOUND when tweeting


This week, my swoon is from Passenger by Alexandra Bracken!


He leaned forward and captured her lips, stealing the kiss himself until she had to come up and gasp for breath. Nicholas pulled her back under, and this time she did let go, only to take his beautiful face in her hands, to let his hands tangle in her hair around her shoulders. If the sky had opened again just then, Etta didn't think she'd feel the storm at all - not when she was caught so deeply in this. Time was tugging her back, insistent and demanding, passing faster and faster, but all she wanted was to stay there, to smell the sea on his skin and press her face to that part of his neck where it seemed to fit perfectly, as if it had been made to hold her and her alone. If there was a place to go where time might forget them, she wanted to find it.

- ARC, pages 333-334

  1. Love it when a kiss involves the hair being tangled. This was some kiss to make her want to go where time forgets them.

    1. Yaaassss, I am so happy to hear that! You know, I'm not the biggest fan of time-travel novels - I did love Kerstin Gier's Ruby Red trilogy. And this book! :D
