'"I'm lucky just to be alive"
Eva
was never supposed to have survived this long. As the recessive soul,
she should have faded away years ago. Instead, she lingers in the body
she shares with her sister soul, Addie. When the government discovered
the truth, they tried to “cure” the girls, but Eva and Addie escaped
before the doctors could strip Eva’s soul away.
Now fugitives,
Eva and Addie find shelter with a group of hybrids who run an
underground resistance. Surrounded by others like them, the girls learn
how to temporarily disappear to give each soul some much-needed privacy.
Eva is thrilled at the chance to be alone with Ryan, the boy she’s
falling for, but troubled by the growing chasm between her and Addie.
Despite clashes over their shared body, both girls are eager to join the
rebellion.
Yet as they are drawn deeper into the escalating
violence, they start to wonder: How far are they willing to go to fight
for hybrid freedom? Faced with uncertainty and incredible danger, their
answers may tear them apart forever.' - Goodreads
I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this but just look at that gap between the US and UK releases!!! I'm either going to have to pay for the US hardcover or wait seven months for my library to get the UK version :(
What are you waiting for this week?

I've heard of both of these books, but I have yet to read them. It sounds like an interesting series though. My WoW.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I absolutely loved the first book, one of my favourtite reads from last year and I cannot wait for Once We Were! I hope you get the chance to read it before the UK release date!
