Here's my choice for this week's Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Breaking the Spine.This cover is really captivating and the story sounds like something I would love to read!
Author: Elizabeth Scott
Publication Date: September 16, 2010
From Goodreads:
A fable of a terrifying near future by critically acclaimed author Elizabeth Scott.
Grace was raised to be an Angel, a herald of death by suicide bomb. But she refuses to die for the cause, and now Grace is on the run, daring to dream of freedom. In search of a border she may never reach, she travels among malevolent soldiers on a decrepit train crawling through the desert. Accompanied by the mysterious Kerr, Grace struggles to be invisible, but the fear of discovery looms large as she recalls the history and events that delivered her uncertain fate.
Told in spare, powerful prose, this tale of a dystopian near future will haunt readers long after they've reached the final page.
I have not read much dystopian fiction, but I keep seeing more reviews and recommends for it...will have to try it soon :)
