Shadow Society by Marie RutkoskiExpected Publication Date: October 16th, 2012
Publisher: FSG
Page Count: 416 pages
Darcy Jones doesn’t remember anything before the day she was abandoned as a child outside a Chicago firehouse. She has never really belonged anywhere—but she couldn’t have guessed that she comes from an alternate world where the Great Chicago Fire didn’t happen and deadly creatures called Shades terrorize the human population.Why I Can't Wait: Honestly? I don't really know.... There's something about it that just calls to me, you know?! It doesn't sound like something I've ever read before and I'm pretty sure it'll be a refreshing change from what I've been reading lately.
Memories begin to haunt Darcy when a new boy arrives at her high school, and he makes her feel both desire and desired in a way she hadn’t thought possible. But Conn’s interest in her is confusing. It doesn’t line up with the way he first looked at her.
As if she were his enemy.
When Conn betrays Darcy, she realizes that she can’t rely on anything—not herself, not the laws of nature, and certainly not him. Darcy decides to infiltrate the Shadow Society and uncover the Shades’ latest terrorist plot. What she finds out will change her world forever . . .
In this smart, compulsively readable novel, master storyteller Marie Rutkoski has crafted an utterly original world, characters you won’t soon forget, and a tale full of intrigue and suspense.

So excited for this one! I actually have a copy, but I can't wait to get my hands on the finished copies with the cool covers on them! :D
ReplyDeletelol - books have absolutely no rules, do they? We want what we want. This sounds really good, the part about Conn suddenly betraying her is what caught my attention and made me very curious about this one. I'm going to go look it up, I hadn't even heard about it before. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I heard about this book and it does sound interesting. Books about lternative/parallel worlds/timelines are not really that many.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping. ^_^
This looks so good, I saw this on someone else's WOW too! Thanks for stopping by Books, Bones & Buffy:)
ReplyDeleteThis does sounds very interesting... I really like books about alternate realities/time lines :) And a dangerous enemy love interest? Well, it wouldn't be a paranormal romance without someone wanting to do the heroine in, eh? ;) Thanks for visiting my WoW!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this book before but I am definitely intrigued now. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my WoW
