DREAMFALL #1 - Amy Plum
Editeur : HarperCollins - Mai 2017
Soon after the experiment begins, there’s a malfunction with the lab equipment, and Cata and six other teen patients are plunged into a shared dreamworld with no memory of how they got there. Even worse, they come to the chilling realization that they are trapped in a place where their worst nightmares have come to life. Hunted by creatures from their darkest imaginations and tormented by secrets they’d rather keep buried, Cata and the others will be forced to band together to face their biggest fears. And if they can’t find a way to defeat their dreams, they will never wake up.
Amy Plum est une auteure que je voulais découvrir depuis longtemps. J'ai manqué sa première série Until I Die (Revenants) et comme le thème de Dreamfall m'a l'air bien captivant dans un univers onirique et une intrigue paranormale, j'ai envie de tenter celui-ci.

Brave new girl - Rachel Vincent
Editeur : Delacorte Press - Mai 2017
We have brown hair. Brown eyes. Fair skin. We are healthy and strong and smart. But only one of us has ever had a secret.
Dahlia 16 sees her face in every crowd. She’s nothing special—just one of five thousand girls created from a single genome to work for the greater good of the city. Meeting Trigger 17 changes everything. He thinks she’s interesting. Beautiful. Unique. Which means he must be flawed. When Dahlia can’t stop thinking about him—when she can't resist looking for him, even though that means breaking the rules—she realizes she’s flawed, too. But if she’s flawed, then so are all her identicals. And any genome found to be flawed will be recalled.
Destroyed. Getting caught with Trigger would seal not only Dahlia’s fate, but that of all five thousand girls who share her face. But what if Trigger is right? What if Dahlia is different? Suddenly the girl who always follows the rules is breaking them, one by one by one…

Une histoire de clones, de la science-fiction, de la dystopie... ce titre me fait (grave) envie!!

OKAY!! Alors avec un résumé pareil, impossible de ne pas accrocher. En plus j'ai lu la première trilogie de l'auteure intitulée Effacée, parue aux éditions De La Martinière Jeunesse et je n'avais pas été déçue. J'ai envie de lire cette auteure en VO... et la couverture est super jolie avec en prime une tranche de livre entièrement rouge vif!!

Geekerella - Ashley Poston
Editeur : Quirk Books - Avril 2017
Anything can happen once upon a con…
When geek girl Elle Wittimer sees a cosplay contest sponsored by the producers of Starfield, she has to enter. First prize is an invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. Elle’s been scraping together tips from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck behind her stepmother’s back, and winning this contest could be her ticket out once and for all—not to mention a fangirl’s dream come true.
Teen actor Darien Freeman is less than thrilled about this year’s ExcelsiCon. He used to live for conventions, but now they’re nothing but jaw-aching photo sessions and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Federation Prince Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the diehard Starfield fandom has already dismissed him as just another heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, closet nerd Darien feels more and more like a fake—until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.

Une revisite du conte de Cendrillon version geek! Ma foi pourquoi pas. Les bons avis Goodreads ont fini de me convaincre pour que ce titre rejoigne ma PAL!

Firstlife (Everlife #1) - Gena Showalter
Editeur : Harlequin Teen - Février 2016
ONE CHOICE.
TWO REALMS.
NO SECOND CHANCE.
Tenley “Ten” Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl…who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she’ll live—after she dies.
There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death.
In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, longtime enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms who will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she’s drawn to isn’t home to the boy she’s falling for? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision…

Le résumé m'a bien plu ainsi que la magnifique couverture. Une vie après la mort ? Un monde après la mort ? Voilà qui est intéressant. En plus il était en promo sur Amazon pour 5,71 euros en paperback! J'ai sauté sur l'occasion!

Et voilà!! J'espère que ce BOOK HAUL vous aura plu!! Celui de juillet sera nettement plus conséquent car j'ai fait de grosses folies. Avez-vous lu l'un de ces titres ? Lequel vous fait le plus envie ? Voudriez-vous que j'en lise un en priorité ? Pour ma part, je pense jeter mon dévolu soit pour Contagion, Brave New girl ou Dreamfall ;-)
