Just say the words post apocalyptic or dystopian YA and I'm so there! The synopsis for Midnight City by J. Barton Mitchell not only mentions that but also a couple of other well chosen words, like pirates, bounty hunter and aliens, to lure me in. What more could a girl ask for?
It sounds a bit like Michael Gran's Gone series but that can be good, right? Right. Check out the synopsis and let me know what you think of my pick for this weeks Waiting on Wednesday post.
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
In a post-apocalyptic world controlled by alien invaders, two teens and a young girl with mysterious powers embark on a dangerous journey. What they find will change everything...
Earth has been conquered. An extraterrestrial race known as The Assembly has abducted the adult population, leaving the planet’s youth to fend for themselves. In this treacherous landscape, Holt, a bounty hunter, is transporting his prisoner Mira when they discover Zoey, a young girl with powerful abilities who could be the key to stopping The Assembly. As they make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, the trio must contend with freedom fighters, mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and perhaps most perilous of all: Holt and Mira’s growing attraction to each other. Midnight City is the breathtaking first novel in the Conquered Earth series, and a stunning work of imagination from debut author J. Barton Mitchell.
Wow, that might be the longest synopsis ever! Are you still with me? Can I suggest that you:
