Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly Meme hosted at Pen to Paper
This week I'm wishing for...
Icons by Margaret Stohl
Summary from Amazon:
"Your heart beats only with their permission.
Everything changed on The Day. The day the windows shattered. The day the power stopped. The day Dol's family dropped dead. The day Earth lost a war it didn't know it was fighting.
Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside -- safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she can't avoid.
She's different. She survived. Why?
When Dol and her best friend, Ro, are captured and taken to the Embassy, off the coast of the sprawling metropolis once known as the City of Angels, they find only more questions. While Ro and fellow hostage Tima rage against their captors, Dol finds herself drawn to Lucas, the Ambassador's privileged son. But the four teens are more alike than they might think, and the timing of their meeting isn't a coincidence. It's a conspiracy.
Within the Icon's reach, Dol, Ro, Tima, and Lucas discover that their uncontrollable emotions -- which they've always thought to be their greatest weaknesses -- may actually be their greatest strengths.
Bestselling author Margaret Stohl delivers the first book in a heart-pounding series set in a haunting new world where four teens must piece together the mysteries of their pasts -- in order to save the future."

Why I'm Wishing for It:
I saw a lot about this online when it first came out a month or two ago, and it all seemed to be positive. Plus, Margaret Stohl is the author, who was one half of the authoring team who wrote The Caster Chronicles series, which I'm still reading and am enjoying immensely. I have no doubt that this will be a great book, I just have to get my hands on it!

I agree with you! I have had my eye on this too. I hope that we both love it. Also, I see that you are reading Abraham Lincoln. Another one that I have been meaning to read.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Abraham, an interesting read indeed. The review will be up soon!
DeleteOoh. Great. I will look for the review.
DeleteAwesome pick! I got the book some time ago but haven't had the chance to start it yet as I'm cleaning out my NetGalley books. :)

Same here!!! I want that book, too and for the same reasons, of course! Loved the Caster Chronicles and can't even start to think about how awesome Icons must be!
ReplyDeleteI know right? We just know Icons must be great, which is why I desperately want it!
