My pick this week is:
Title: Dualed
Series: Dualed, Book 1
Author: Elsie Chapman
Release date: February 26th, 2013
Summary:
Would you live through the ultimate test of survival?
The city of Kersh is a safe haven, but the price of safety is high. Everyone has a genetic Alternate—a twin raised by another family—and citizens must prove their worth by eliminating their Alts before their twentieth birthday. Survival means advanced schooling, a good job, marriage—life.
Fifteen-year-old West Grayer has trained as a fighter, preparing for the day when her assignment arrives and she will have one month to hunt down and kill her Alt. But then a tragic misstep shakes West’s confidence. Stricken with grief and guilt, she’s no longer certain that she’s the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future. If she is to have any chance of winning, she must stop running not only from her Alt, but also from love . . . though both have the power to destroy her.
*****
Why I want to read it:
It's got a gorgeous cover, intriguing, especially with that shadow being so different. And the summary totally got to me. I really wanted this book from NetGalley, but they're only giving out limited number of ecopies at this time, which SUCKS!!!!!
So how about you? What amazing book are you waiting on this week?

This does sound awesome and I love the cover. You mentioned the shadow looking different - such a small thing but totally fits the synopsis. Fingers crossed for approval on Netgalley. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteThis one is on my list too. It looks different to anything I have read before. I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
AGH, THIS LOOKS SO FANTASTIC. My request on NetGalley is still pending, and I'm praying and wishing and begging for it to come through!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Love the premise - kind of makes me wonder if the Alt sees her as an Alt too!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Ya know, I was wondering about that too! It would be interesting if each one thought they were the original and the other one was the Alt :)
DeleteOoooh FANTASTIC pick! I've haard so much about this book lately I am so freaking excited for it to come out. *looks at release date* What?! 2013?! I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Wow
I've been waiting for this one too, great pick. Here's my Teaser
ReplyDeleteI want this book NOW! How do you ever truly know if you're the good or bad version of yourself? There's some of both in all of us! Gawd, I want this book so freaking bad! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW post. Happy Wednesday! :D
This is weird but the premise reminds me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show where every witch has an evil twin who will try to destroy them. Ah, good times. This book sounds more grounded and gritty, an excellent intense read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

That's a different way to look at it... Cuz it is you, and it probably does think the same way, feels the same things... Weird. Interesting. Can't wait!
DeleteCreepy, it's like suicide
ReplyDeleteTalk Supe WoW
Yeah, it sort of is, isn't it? Though in the end you aren't really dead. But perhaps a part of you is? I guess we'll find out when it comes out ;)

I'm a New GFC follower :)
Thank you so much for visiting my wow!! Have a fantastic remainder of the week.;)
Ooooh, this sounds really interesting :) I'm not sure if the romance aspect is really necessary for this type of story, but I am anxious to read it to see how it plays out! I wonder if there will be a love triangle between both versions of herself and the love interest? That would be a first!
