Hello
Readers,
Continuing on the previous Wednesdays theme I’m going to
show you the last four books I’m taking to YALC this year in hope of getting to
meet the author and hopefully the chance to get them signed. The four books
today are The
Sin Eaters Daughter by Melinda Salisbury, Unboxed by Non Pratt, Truth or Dare
by Non Pratt and Eve of Man by Giovanna and Tom Fletcher. Another repeat from
last week most of the book are on my to read or reread pile so I can review
them on here, so instead of a stupidly long post I’m going to upload a picture
and little synopsis.
The Sin Eaters Daughter by Melinda
Salisbury
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old
Twylla lives in the castle. But although she's engaged to the prince, Twylla
isn't exactly a member of the court. As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly
kills anyone she touches. Each month she's taken to the prison and forced to
lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with
murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him
immune to Twylla's fatal touch, avoids her company. But then a new guard
arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the
others, he's able to look past Twylla's executioner robes and see the girl, not
the Goddess. Yet Twylla's been promised to the prince and knows what happens to
people who cross the queen.
Unboxed by Non Pratt
Synopsis
Four
friends meet up at their old school to open the memory box they stowed there
years ago - with five letters inside for four of them, because their friend
Millie has died. When they open the box they find a new letter from Millie and
discover that she has left them special instructions: permission to open her
letter only if they all read aloud the letters they wrote to their older
selves, revealing their deepest secrets.
Truth or Dare by Non Pratt
Synopsis
A
powerful and touching novel about bravery from the Guardian's "writer to
watch" Non Pratt, perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell, John Green and Holly
Bourne. How far is too far when it comes to the people you
love? Claire Casey hates being the centre of attention. But if it means getting
Sef Malik to notice her, it's a risk she's happy to take. Sef is prepared to do
anything to help his recently disabled brother. But this means putting Claire's
love - and life - on the line. Because when you're willing to risk everything,
what is there left to lose?
Eve of Man by Giovanna and Tom Fletcher
Synopsis
Against all odds, she
survived. The first girl born in fifty years. They called her Eve.
All
her life Eve has been kept away from the opposite sex. Kept from the truth of
her past. But at sixteen it's time for Eve to face her destiny. Three potential
males have been selected for her. The future of humanity is in her hands. She's
always accepted her fate.
Until
she meets Bram. Eve wants control over her life. She wants freedom. But how do
you choose between love and the future of the human race? Described by Giovanna
and Tom as an unconventional love story set in a dystopian future - do you
embrace your fate - or do you run from it?
