"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:
Unleashed by Sophie Jordan
Book Two of the Uninvited series
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: February 24, 2015
Summary (from Goodreads):
What if the worst thing you ever did was unforgivable?
Davy’s world fell apart after she tested positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome. She was expelled from her school, dumped by her boyfriend, abandoned by friends, and shipped off to a camp that turns HTS carriers into soldiers. Davy may have escaped, but the damage has already been done. The unthinkable has happened. Now, even worse than having everyone else see her as a monster is the knowledge that they may have been right about her all along. Because Davy has killed.
On the run from government agents, Davy is rescued by Caden, the charismatic leader of an underground group of rebels. Despite Caden’s assurances that the Resistance is made up of carriers like her, Davy isn't sure she can trust them. Then again, she doesn't even know if she can trust herself . . . or her growing feelings for Caden. But if she doesn't belong with Caden and his followers, is there anywhere she can call home?
Hmm, I'm getting a weird vibe about the romance... but other than that, I really enjoyed the first book, so I'm excited about the sequel!
I haven't read the first book yet, but it is on my TBR. Sophie Jordan is one of my favorite authors, I love anything she writes. And the covers for this series is gorgeous! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI love how she has written across there major age levels! I've enjoyed her YA, NA, and adult books (except the Firelight series, honestly).
DeleteHappy Wednesday to you, too!
I haven's started this series either yet. Sounds interesting. I hope you're not disappointed by this sequel when you get a chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great Wednesday!

I hope not, either! That would make me so sad :\
DeleteOh yes! Very excited for this one too! Was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first one despite it being kind of far off from my usual genre choice!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Right?! Me too! But Sophie Jordan is a really great writer ^_^
DeleteI really loved the first book in this series, so I'm quite eager to get my hands on this as well!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW!

I agree about the weird romance vibe and that I don't like BUT I loved the first book and I'm really excited about this one!! Great pick Alyssa!!
ReplyDeleteI hope whatever Jordan does, it isn't twisted and messed up... thank you!

The first book is on my TBR pile- just haven't made it to it yet. Nice pick though.

You'll get there!
DeleteI loved Uninvited and was excited to read Unleashed until I read the summary. Where the heck is Sean? This angers me so much especially because this is the last book in a duology. Why would you even think of having a love triangle in the final book? Seems really silly to me. I'm going to wait to read reviews before I pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy it! :)
RIGHT?! I'm so confused!! Like, he's not mentioned at all... ugh. Thank you, Nick!
DeleteI enjoyed the first so need to pick up. Hope you get a chance to read it soon and have a good rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteYup, me too! Thank you!
DeleteThis sounds absolutely GREAT!! The plot is unusual, and definitely exciting. Thanks for putting this one on my radar! Goodreads and Amazon, here I come!! : )
ReplyDeleteAwesomeeeeee! Glad to hear it, Maria!
DeleteI haven't read this series yet, but I read the first firelight book and it was great. Not sure why I didn't continue it now... lol Just fell through the cracks I guess.

I didn't like her Firelight series, but I enjoyed Uninvited, her NA books, and her adult books!
DeleteI like that they kept the DNA strand in her hair! Excited for this one, too! Great pick, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW (:
Me too! It's a great touch.
DeleteI really liked the first book and I'm bummed the second one was never uploaded on EW :(
ReplyDeleteRight?! Yet...
DeleteI think I remember hearing about the first book a while back, and it sounds really interesting. Perhaps I'll have to go back and check it out before book 2 comes out. Great pick, here's Mine.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed! You should :D
DeleteI haven't read the first book yet, I got it in audio and I shall listen to is soon-ish :)
ReplyDeleteAwesomeee! Sounds like a plan!
DeleteI'm really excited for this one too! I enjoyed reading Uninvited.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
Deletemy sister LOVED Uninvited and said i should read it soon. I'm excited for this series!
ReplyDelete- Juhina @ Maji Bookshelf
OMG YOU SHOULD!! Science fiction, you know? :)
DeleteGreat pick, Alyssa. <3 I hope you will love this one :D I have yet to read book one, and I will NOT, until I know there is ZERO love triangle in this one, lol :) which I'm sure there will be. Sigh. Anyway. Thank you for sharing. <3
ReplyDeleteLOL! I hope so. And I'll let you know, if you want!
DeleteGreat pick! ♥
