When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she
doesn't know where she is or who put her there. As she explores, she finds an
impossible mix of environments--tundra next to desert, farm next to jungle--and
a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures and time
periods, all watched over by eerie black windows. And she isn't alone.
Four other teenagers have also been taken: a beautiful model, a tattooed smuggler, a secretive genius, and an army brat who seems to know too much about Cora's past. None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other. But when their mysterious jailer appears--a handsome young guard named Cassian--they realize that their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: their captors aren't from Earth. And they have taken they five teenagers to an otherworldly zoo--where the exhibits are humans.
When a forbidden attraction develops between Cora and Cassian, she realizes that her best chance of escape might be in the arms of her own jailer--though that would mean leaving the others behind. Can Cora manage to save herself and her companions? And if so…what world lies beyond the walls of their cages.
Releasing 26th May 2015
Last night I added about 40 of next year's releases to my TBR. 2015 looks like such a good year for books!! And it's not just the cover of this one that's awesome - I love the premise as well!! Can't wait for this one to come out :)
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed - and that synopsis definitely adds to the anticipation too!
Delete*Drools* Yep, that cover is gorgeous. LOVE IT. I haven't yet read anything by the author (though I recently borrowed The Madman's Daughter from the library--which I'm looking forward to) but this one is definitely being added to my overflowing to-be-read list.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy The Madman's Daughter - it is pretty creepy in places, but overall really good! I know what you mean about overflowing to-read lists, but what can you do with so many possibly fantastic reads ahead :p
DeleteOh my gosh! This both LOOKS and SOUNDS amazing! I think this is going to be a sci-fi /mystery/thriller that I will enjoy! Went and added it to goodreads straight away! *flails* omg this is exciting!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love finding new books that give me that very same reaction! I can't wait for this one either - so far at least it looks to be ticking some boxes.
DeleteI'm so excited for this novel. The cover was a huge surprise though.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is definitely different from those of her other novels, but it still makes me very interested to see what this book will be like!
DeleteThat cover is absolutely gorgeous, and the storyline sounds so awesome, as well :D *instantly adds to the TBR*
ReplyDeleteI agree - I love the contrasting colours and the premise sounds great too!
