Waiting on Wednesday: The Unfortunates by Kim Liggett and Lifelik3 by Jay Kristoff


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Jenn's Pick: I Can't wait to have my hands on this!

The Unfortunates
The Unfortunates  by Kim Liggett
July 10th, 2018


Getting kidnapped over spring break was definitely memorable. But now that the surviving hostages are home, they want life to feel normal again: high school, dating, million-dollar galas.
But there's no escaping the spotlight--or the truth about the ways they betrayed each other in the jungle. And this time, the real threat isn't kidnappers--it's what the "friends" might do to each other.





Ash's Pick: I need to read this NOW! 

LIFEL1K3 (Lifelike, #1)
Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff
May 29th, 2018


On a floating junkyard beneath a radiation sky, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap.

Eve isn’t looking for secrets—she’s too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she’s just spent six months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, and the only thing keeping her Grandpa from the grave was the fistful of credits she just lost to the bookies. To top it off, she’s discovered she can destroy electronics with the power of her mind, and the puritanical Brotherhood are building a coffin her size. If she’s ever had a worse day, Eve can’t remember it.

But when Eve discovers the ruins of an android boy named Ezekiel in the scrap pile she calls home, her entire world comes crashing down. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic conscience, Cricket, in tow, she and Ezekiel will trek across deserts of irradiated glass, infiltrate towering megacities and scour the graveyard of humanity’s greatest folly to save the ones Eve loves, and learn the dark secrets of her past.

Even if those secrets were better off staying buried.

  2. The hype for Likel1k3 is crazy I'm intrigued. And I have yet to read a Jay Kristoff novel. Might try to get around Nevernight first since I already have that :) I hope you enjoy your picks once you get to read them!

  3. Some stabby books this week, huh? Not my vibe, but The Unfortunates sounds pretty interesting to me. I have not read anything from Liggett, but I think I have one of her books on my TBR (and my shelf).
