"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's cannot-wait book is:
The Body Electric by Beth Revis!
The Body Electric
by Beth Revis
Expected publication: October 2014
The future world is at peace.
Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift—the ability to enter people’s dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother—to help others relive their happy memories.
But not all is at it seems.
Ella starts seeing impossible things—images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust. Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience—and influence—the memories of traitors. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love—even though Ella’s never met him before in her life. Which can only mean one thing…
Someone’s altered her memory.
Ella’s gift is enough to overthrow a corrupt government or crush a growing rebel group. She is the key to stopping a war she didn’t even know was happening. But if someone else has been inside Ella’s head, she cannot trust her own memories, thoughts, or feelings.
So who can she trust?

Look at that cover. It's gorgeous and so detailed. I love it! I've also read the first two books on Across the Universe trilogy by Beth Revis so I know she can create great stories - and the synopsis of The Body Electric truly got me. So really, there's no reason why I wouldn't be waiting for this one.
The Body Electric on Goodreads.
I haven't read any of the books in the Acroos the Universe series, but this looks pretty good! My WoW
ReplyDeleteI've read the first two in Across the Universe trilogy and I warmly recommend it if one happens to like sci-fi at all :)
DeleteI'd love to pick this one up. I haven't read her previous series but I'll give this one a try. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Hump Day!

Hah, true that, the name brings Lana Del Rey in mind :D
DeleteI haven't yet read this author, but I was wowed by the cover and blurb of Across the Universe. This one sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “BETRAYED”
I enjoyed Across the Universe and the book was everything the blurb promised so I hope same goes with this one :)
DeleteI've not read the Across the Universe trilogy yet but I plan to. However this book sounds more like my kind of read with all these mysteries. I hope it will be as good as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! :))

DeleteSounds like this book will be so thrilling! Can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteHere's My WoW
Yes, it does sound thrilling. I like thrilling stories :)
DeleteI've read the Across the Universe too.
ReplyDeleteBeth Revis is a good writer and this book is definitely worth the read.
I totally agree with you!
Deletewhat an interesting concept, don't think I want to enter anyone's dreams...then again it would be a nice change from my disturbing ones :P
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I think it would be intriguing at first but I'd probably start feeling like a creeper pretty soon and it wouldn't be interesting anymore.
