I'm currently doing a re-read of Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder before reading the 2nd one in the series.

Stay to the Lights

I haven't read that series.


I just started this:



Can there truly be love after death?

Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she's dead. With no recollection of her past life--or her actual death--she's trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.

Amelia and Joshua grow ever closer as they begin to uncover the strange circumstances of her death and the secrets of the dark river that held her captive for so long. But even while they struggle to keep their bond hidden from the living world, a frightening spirit named Eli is doing everything in his power to destroy their newfound happiness and drag Amelia back into the ghost world . . . forever.

I'm listening to the ICED audiobook, which I had been given free at the Fever event last Oct. I hadn't had a chance to listen yet, even though I have already read the book.

I like to listen to audiobooks of my favorite books. It adds something different.

I'm about to start this:



Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else--two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't...

For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she's still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet...for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.

I only listen to Fever audiobooks, because I love the guy who narrates them. Plus he personally gave me this audiobook at the Fever/Iced event.

oh, I have seen that book before and I do want to read it

That's pretty cool that you met him.

Did you girls get Clockwork Princess yet?

Stay to the Lights

I did and finished it

I was talking to a girl in the bookstore waiting for the book too, and mentioned if I had read any of Kat Zhang's book. She mentioned how she lived here in Melbourne until recently and then went back to NZ.. and how the book you are reading is actually set in Melbourne, but in the future.

I think I'll have to read it now.

And? How is the book?!

Jen - I didn't know it was set in Melbourne. I must not have paid attention when they mentioned it, if they did.

Stay to the Lights

It was amazing

Maybe they don't mention it.. but the girl told me it just is

Yay, that's good to know. I've been staying away from spoilers.

Well if it makes you want to read it, then it's a good reason.
