Published by: Carina Press (HQN)
Publication date: December 1st 2014
Genres: Dystopia, New Adult
Synopsis:
Freedom means making brutal choices.
Rebel lovers Naya and Ric have survived one year in hiding, raising Naya’s twins from infants to toddlers in the shadow of the brutal Auberge dictatorship. They’re alive, and they’re together, but the city is crumbling around them and the haunting memory of Naya’s dark days on The Line have never fully left them. Living in isolation won’t be an option forever.
When a mysterious revolutionary seeks their help to infiltrate Auberge’s electronic heart and shut it down, it’s an opportunity—it’s risky, yes, but if it works they’ll get out of the city and taste freedom for the first time. Naya needs this. They need this.
Beyond the broken walls of Auberge, Naya and Ric find the paradise they’ve always longed for. But with anarchy reigning and Naya’s children lost amidst the chaos, they’ll need to forfeit their post-apocalyptic Eden…or commit an unspeakable act.
Book two of two.

EXCERPT:
“No!” Sonya shouted, clenching her jaw as her eyes bugged wide.
“Not enough! It’s our fault we got those girls killed. Her
fault!” She pointed at me again, and I felt my insides burst into
flames and scatter like ash. “So don’t stand there and tell me
how feeling compassion is the way to go. Compassion only gets
people killed faster. It’s using your fucking brain, and thinking,
planning, strategizing, that’s going to end this war. It’s
following your goddamned mission and not getting distracted! And
guess what? People are still going to die. So go ahead, stay behind
because it feels right. Choose the fate of hundreds of
thousands of people based on your fucking feelings.”

Expanding New Adult Beyond
Contemporary
I have very odd taste when it comes to
reading. I don’t like just one thing. I go on binges. I’ll read
three fantasies, followed by several science fiction titles, followed
by a couple historicals, then off to a contemporary romance, then a
horror or a thriller – I’m all over the place, in almost all
categories (YA, NA, adult) and I believe most readers are like me.
Readers don’t read just one thing. We cast a wide net.
So when I hear opinions that New Adult
is a contemporary romance category only – my argument to
that is, “So far.”
I truly believe that yes, New Adult is
a thing, and it’s real, but it’s also evolving. I love the fact
that publishers and indie authors are evolving with New Adult, too.
There are so many titles out there now that go beyond the “Damaged
Girl Meets Boy” story, which I love for reasons all it’s own, but
because readers are naturally inclined to want variety, there are
also “Girl From Wrong Side of Tracks Falls for Wrong Guy” (aka.
WILD ONES by Kristine Wyllys), “Girl on Trial for Murder in
Cyber-Prison” (aka. THE WICKED WE HAVE DONE by Sarah Harian), and
“Girl Sees Dead People, Literally,” (aka. DARK PARADISE by Angie
Sandro), and if I may be so bold as to include “Girl Battles
Mega-Corporation in Dystopian Society,” (aka. CARRIER by Anne
Tibbets) – all these being New Adult titles that go beyond the
confines of contemporary romance.
So, I guess what I’m proposing is if
you’re getting a little burnt out on New Adult, well GUESS WHAT?
Options.
Because just like how New Adult is
evolving, so are its readers.
