After the violent death of her father, 17 year-old Zelia loses her younger sister, Dylia, during an abduction at a foster care agency. It turns out her sister Dylia isn’t just pretty and sweet – she’s illegal.Freak-show inhabitants and an underground foster home? Yes please! This sounds like it could be so cool, I love that it takes place so far in the future and I want to know exactly what people with these 'enhanced genes' are capable of!
In the year 2150, DNA must be pure by law, and anyone with enhanced genes face death. Zelia’s only allies are the freak-show inhabitants of her new, underground foster home. Along with the unexpected love of a very strange boy, she will need her flaws and their illicit traits to save the only family she has left.
What are YOU waiting on this Wednesday?

interesting, an underground foster care sounds exciting! as well as enhanced DNA and such.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW
Great choice, I can't wait for this one either!
ReplyDeletemy WOW and international giveaway
This sounds like a great read, but what's up with the Red Blood Cells on the cover. From the blurb, it seems that the book has to do with enhanced DNA and stuff, so you would expect an image of DNA if they wanted to go for something biological.
ReplyDeleteHmmm ...
The book better have something to do with red blood cells or else the biologist in me will be mad!
Great pick, Jenni! ;)
Dude, this sounds really cool. I love it when I discover new awesome books! Thanks for sharing babe!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, enhanced genes! Yes!!! I will read pretty much anything about people with powers, thus my love for fantasy and paranormal. Want!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is on my TBR list too. I can't wait for it to come out! And is that the official cover?
ReplyDeleteHmm I thought it was, I got it off of Goodreads yesterday but it's not there anymore...

ReplyDeleteWow, I'd never heard of this one! It sounds exciting and I love the element of 'enhanced genes' added in there :D Thanks for bringing this to my attention Jenni!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really awesome!! I wonder why enhanced genes = illegal. Thanks for sharing :)
