(Unremembered, Book 1)
Author: Jessica Brody
Release Date: March, 5 2013
Published by: Farrar, Straus, & Giroux
The only thing worse than forgetting her past...is remembering it.
When Freedom Airlines Flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage-alive-is making headlines across the globe.
Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows why she wasn't on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can't be found in a single database in the world.
Cripple by a world she doesn't know, plagued by abilities she doesn't understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can't remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she's running out of time to answer them.
Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget? (Summary from Goodreads)
This looks soooo good! Memory loss is such a great thriller too!

(Article 5, Book 2)
Author: Kristen Simmons
Release Date: February 12, 2013
Published by: Tor Teen
The second installment in Kristen Simmons's fast-paced, gripping YA dystopian series.
After faking their deaths to escape from prison, Ember Miller and Chase Jennings have only one goal: to lay low until the Federal Bureau of Reformation forgets they ever existed.
Near-celebrities now for the increasingly sensationalized tales of their struggles with the government, Ember and Chase are recognized and taken in by the Resistance--an underground organization working to systematically take down the government. At headquarters, all eyes are in the sniper, an anonymous assassin taking out FBR soldiers one by one. Rumors are flying about the sniper's true identity, and Ember and Chase welcome the diversion...
Until the government posts its most wanted list, and their number one suspect is Ember herself.
Orders are shoot to kill, and soldiers are cleared to fire on suspicion alone. Suddenly Ember can't even step onto the street without fear of being recognized, and "laying low" is a joke. Even members of the Resistance are starting to look at her sideways.
With Chase urging her to run, Ember must decide: Go into hiding...or fight back? (Summary from Goodreads)

What did you find out there this week?
Unremembered and Breaking Point! IDK which I want to read first! Problly Unremembered. I read Article 5 and enjoyed it, but I have a feeling Unremembered will knock my socks off!
ReplyDeleteI love the trailers too. I recently have been getting into book trailers. I wish there were a place to see all of them. Is there a book trailer blog somewhere out there?
