Waiting on Wednesday: Summer Ruins by @trishaleighkc

The book I picked this week that I’m waiting on is part of a series … of course. I can’t even remember how I found the first book, but it immediately became one of my favorites of last year, then I held off a bit on reading book 2 and book 3, but caved a few days ago. I ended up devouring them in just a couple days. And you’re gonna wanna go to my Pinterest boards and see the image of Lucas I have in my head… just saying.

SUMMER RUINS (The Last Year #4)

By: Trisha Leigh

Publication Date: February 19, 2013

First of all – I love covers and all four of these covers are gorgeous. But even better than that, I love well written characters and a unique plot and with this series you get both! Althea, Lucas and Pax… I want them all on my side, and yes, even the ‘bad guys’ have me intrigued! I need to know their secrets!! Plus… swoony boys and an intelligent heroine – I’m hooked! If you haven’t picked this series up, now is the time to do it. Just about a month until this book is released and I’ll be counting down the days!

A final battle for the survival of Earth is coming.

Between the alien Others and the destruction of humanity stand four Dissidents.

When the Prime Other banishes them to the Harvest Site to live the remainder of their time on earth as slaves, the Dissidents use the opportunity to learn more about the substance that keeps the Others alive…and how they might use it to their advantage. But the Others guard their secrets well, and the Prime Other has proven his willingness to do whatever’s necessary to secure a future for his race, no matter what or who is destroyed in the process.

When Althea and the boys realize their lives could be the key to allowing another planet to suffer the same fate as earth, they promise they’ll die before they let that happen. If they can’t figure out how to turn the tables in their favor before the Summer Celebration, they might have to do just that.

The end draws near, and there’s only one question left—are the Dissidents going to save their chosen people or perish alongside them?

So… what are you waiting for this week?
