As the heiress to Titon Technologies, eighteen-year-old Aurora Titon can have whatever she wants—clothes, expensive gadgets, anything money can buy. All she really wants is to escape her pampered, paparazzi-prone life for the stars.Becoming the first female pilot to train as an astronaut for the Apollo Academy is exactly the chance for which she has been waiting. Everything would be perfect if it weren't for her unreciprocated crush on a fellow student, the sexy astronaut bent on making her life hell, and the fact that someone keeps trying to kill her.
Guys, I love me some sic-fi. This is no secret. It's also no secret that I have an insatiable lust for literary men. Is that too much? Oh well...the secret's out. Regardless, it sounds to me like The Apollo Academy might just offer all I could ever want from a book, plus a kick-ass cover to boot. I mean, seriously, guys. Tell me that isn't absolutely gorgeous. Here's to hoping this book is as perfect as I think it could be because this could be my first foray into new adult...What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
Nice! Been hearing about this one lately!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Thanks, Jessica! I hope it lives up!
DeleteI haven't heard of this one before- thanks for placing it on my radar! I'm not much of a sci fi fan, but i'm loving the plot!
ReplyDelete- Ellie at The Selkie Reads Stories
I have a feeling it will be just intriguing enough for you, Ellie ;)
DeleteWoah... So the cove did kinda awkward but I like the sound of it! Never heard of this before so I shall keep a close eye out for any more mentions.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick, Melissa! <33
I kind of love the colours on the cover, plus it'll be a new one for me, as it's NA...crazy talk, I say! ;)
DeleteOh, NICE!! I'm a big scifi fan, too, though there hasn't been a whole lot in the YA/NA arena (which is very sad to me -- moar!).
ReplyDeletehaha! I really, really need to try a new adult book, and I think this might be the right one to give it a go...maybe?!
DeleteThis sound like a really interesting sci-fi. I do like to watch sci-fi more than I read it, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll be adding it to my wishlist now! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt does sound pretty good, huh? It seems like it could be a really intriguing mix!
DeleteSeeing this a lot lately. love the cover. Thanks for sharing :)

The cover really is gorgeous, isn't it?! For an indie...it's fantastic!
DeleteI've never heard of this before, but this sounds totally unique! I'm adding this to my TBR! Thanks for sharing, Melissa! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Nick! Hopefully we both love it!
DeleteUm, yes please to this book Melissa! Unrequited attraction/antagonistic relationship? One of my very favorite romantic setups, plus Sci Fi as a genre is really growing on me, so this is an all around winner! AND we don't have to wait too much longer!
ReplyDeleteYES! I figured I should actually feature a title that was coming out a bit sooner than 23948209348 years from now for a change haha ;)
DeleteThis is new to me and sounds promising. I haven't read a kick-butt sci-fi in some time, so I'll keep my eye out for this one. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteOf course! Here's hoping it's as promising as we think...considering the author is a science nut, herself...I think it very well could be amazing!
DeleteI do like the cover and the synopsis of this book. It sounds something like a New Adult version of Academy 7 which I loved. I shall have to remember to check it out when published. August isn't too far away!
ReplyDeleteI know! Usually I pick books that are too dang far away haha lucky for us...this is SOON!
DeleteThanks for the sharing Melissa! The book seems really interesting :D
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome, Joana! I hope it's as great as we think it could be! :)
DeleteI used to never buy Sci-fi books because I swayed more toward Paranormal, but recently I've found some really amazing storylines that have just pulled me in; and this is definitely one of them! Amazing pick, Melissa! :)
ReplyDelete~Becca
Paranormal was my go-to when I started blogging, but I've strayed more towards mysteries, thrillers and sci-fi lately :)
DeleteI love sci-fi too and that cover is very eye catching:)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I love the sound of this book. I've never heard of it before and now I'm super intrigued. It sounds so interesting! I checking this book our right now!
ReplyDeleteYes!! This sounds great Melissa! It feels like it ticks all my book boxes and that cover really is stunning :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I haven't heard of this one but YAY TO YOU for breaking into New Adult!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of Sci-Fi, but this one sounds pretty cool. Great cover!
ReplyDeleteI always manage to find books I've never heard of before on your WoW posts, Melissa, and I love that! As a fan of sci-fi, this is going straight onto my TBR. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for more SF-I think this one sounds really neat and very promising!
