This week I'm wishing for...

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon


Summary from Goodreads:


"It is the year 2059. Several major world cities are under the control of a security force called Scion. Paige Mahoney works in the criminal underworld of Scion London, part of a secret cell known as the Seven Seals. The work she does is unusual: scouting for information by breaking into others’ minds. Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare kind of clairvoyant, and in this world, the voyants commit treason simply by breathing.

But when Paige is captured and arrested, she encounters a power more sinister even than Scion. The voyant prison is a separate city—Oxford, erased from the map two centuries ago and now controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. These creatures, the Rephaim, value the voyants highly—as soldiers in their army.
Paige is assigned to a Rephaite keeper, Warden, who will be in charge of her care and training. He is her master. Her natural enemy. But if she wants to regain her freedom, Paige will have to learn something of his mind and his own mysterious motives."

Why I'm Wishing for It:
I was watching Carrie on her Youtube channel ItsWayPastMyBedtime just yesterday, and she decided to make a video recommending 10 novels. Her last pick was this one, and she couldn't stop gushing about how amazing it was. So of course I had to go and check it out online - and it sounds right up my alley. I just had to add this to my wishlist. 

What about you? What are you wishing for this week?

  2. I've read a good few reviews of this lately and I love the sound of it. Not sure about the cover though, I think if I didn't know how good it was Id pass it by in the book shop.
