Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, and specifically spotlights upcoming novels we can't wait to read. As always, there are some amazing upcoming books, but this week I'm particularly excited for...
Author: Mary E. Pearson
Publisher: Henry Holt & Co. BYR

Genre: YA, Sci-Fi
Pages: 384
Once there were three. Three friends who loved each other—Jenna, Locke, and Kara. And after a terrible accident destroyed their bodies, their three minds were kept alive, spinning in a digital netherworld. Even in that disembodied nightmare, they were still together. At least at first. When Jenna disappeared, Locke and Kara had to go on without her. Decades passed, and then centuries.
Two-hundred-and-sixty years later, they have been released at last. Given new, perfect bodies, Locke and Kara awaken to a world they know nothing about, where everyone they once knew and loved is long dead.
Everyone except Jenna Fox.
This is the much-anticipated book two in the Jenna Fox Chronicles and the sequel to The Adoration of Jenna Fox, which completely blew my mind with its sheer genius. It was so beautiful, and haunting, and heart-breakingly lyrical that I was sold on Jenna's story, and I was so sad it was over. The Fox Inheritance might just be the cure for my withdrawals. I love the author's writing style, and I can't wait to see where the story takes us next. I want to get lost in the mesmerizing world again...and it totally doesn't hurt that the two covers go well hand in hand (and they're awesome!) What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
I still need to read the first book. I'd like to get to it someday, although I'm not quite sure it's my thing.
ReplyDeleteI am probably one of the few people who were not blown away by Jenna Fox. I will still give this one a try though. Thanks for sharing! Here is my WOW
ReplyDeleteAlthough I haven't read the first book, I'm really looking forward to the second one's release. Which means I'll have to find it before then. Shucks. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to read the first book in the series; I've heard so much about it.
ReplyDeleteI have heard awesome things about this series. I still need to read the first one.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read the first one yet but it's been on my TBR list for so long now! I should really get on that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so torn because I want to read the first one and then ... I just never picked it up! But seeing you with so much praise I have to ad it and finally get a grip and read it!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great series - I want ;). I remember reading your "Adoration" review and now this one...
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to check this series out, looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW this week.
I really should check out that first book
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good, I'll have to check out the first one now! :)
ReplyDeleteThis does sound good! Think I saw it awhile back on another WoW a few weeks ago! Love the cover! So intriguing!

Jess@a GREAT read
Although I was not as enthralled with The Adoration of Jenna Fox as you, I did enjoy the book and will be reading this one to see how her story is continued. Great pick1
ReplyDeleteOoooh, this is a brand new one for me. Interesting! And that cover is very eye catching. :) thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI still need to read The Adoration of Jenna Fox, especially since it comes so highly recommended by you:) I adore these covers though, they're so fun to look at which is usually enough to make me buy a book. I'm easy like that. Easy and proud of it, dammit.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this book but the cover is cool! Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteYessss. I loved Jenna Fox, so I'm super excited for The Fox Inheritance, too! Yay for Locke being the narrator!
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't love the first book. I didn't care for the writing style. BUT I have to say that I'm quite curious about this one so I think I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm so torn on this book! I want to read it because I absolutely adored the first book, but...I don't want to spoil my feelings for the first book in case I don't love the sequel as much.
ReplyDeleteI’ve heard so many wonderful things about Jenna Fox. I even have a copy on my shelf. I think I’ll wait until release time for book #2 to read it. Then the wait won’t be as painful ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW pick!
I hadn't heard of this one.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this one around a lot. Must be good!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this series? This is going on the TBR list right now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.
This Week’s Waiting on Wednesday: Dead Rules
I need to read the first one in this series because I have heard so many great things about it. Great pick!! =)
ReplyDeleteI've seen this cover an title, but didn't realize it was a sequel! Thanks! I'll have to check this out, because I enjoyed the Adoration...
ReplyDeleteJenna Fox has been on my TBR for a while, and I'm sure that once I finish it I'll be anxious for this one as well. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteI have the first book in my TBR pile! I hope to get to it soon. I know you said it's really good and a favorite book!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first either, but the cover to this is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely look for the first book the next time I'm at the library - it sounds like it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW pick :D
The first book is in my TBR pile and I cannot wait to get to it... I've heard nothing but incredible things about it. Great pick, as usual!!
ReplyDeleteDude, I love how the cover of this sort of resembles a puzzle, with splashes of blue and whites across the face. I haven't read the first book in this series yet, but I've been hearing so many great things about it. So, it's one that I'll definitely have to add to my list. :)

My WoW - Ya dig?!
Yay! This was going to be my Waiting on Wednesday, but I didn't participate this week. But I loved the first Jenna Fox book and am really looking forward to this one.
