Synopsis:
It starts with an itch you just can't shake. Then comes a fever and a tickle in your throat. A few days later, you'll be blabbing your secrets and chatting with strangers like they’re old friends. Three more, and the paranoid hallucinations kick in.
And then you're dead.
When a deadly virus begins to sweep through sixteen-year-old Kaelyn’s community, the government quarantines her island—no one can leave, and no one can come back.
Those still healthy must fight for dwindling supplies, or lose all chance of survival. As everything familiar comes crashing down, Kaelyn joins forces with a former rival and discovers a new love in the midst of heartbreak. When the virus starts to rob her of friends and family, she clings to the belief that there must be a way to save the people she holds dearest.
Because how will she go on if there isn't?

Finally, a book without a black and red cover! But it seems I also have this thing for these wonderfully creative (and scary) end of the world by virus type books (I'm currently reading Wither). Tell me this synopsis doesn't sound amazing, and yet completely freaky? I'll be picking this one up on release day for sure! (And then I'll probably start freaking out every time I feel that odd little tickle in my throat...)
What book are you waiting for right now?
Great pick! Did you know the launch for this book is going to be in Toronto? All the more reason to be excited for it!

ReplyDeleteReally? I did know she was a Canadian author but I had no idea about the launch! Do you have more details?
Definitely adding this to my wishlist. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my pick for this week.
Have a great day,

This sounds really good, I love the idea! I am definitely adding it to my list now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post!
I absolutely cannot wait for this! (And I can't agree more - no black and red!!! YAY!) I love the idea of the virus, the living through it. (Reminds me of The Stand by Stephen King-- one of my favorite books ever.)
ReplyDeleteStop by and see what I'm Waiting On this Wednesday!!
@Jac
ReplyDeleteOMG I completely thought of The Stand when I read this synopsis! What a great book! And also one the made me paranoid of having the sniffles...
I hadn't heard of this at all, and then this week a bunch of bloggers posted about it! Sounds amazing. I love end of the world books, too.
