In this high-action and romantic futuristic adventure, there
is no escape from the future for two contemporary girls pulled out of their own
time.
When twins Sheridan and Taylor wake up 400 years in the
future, they find a changed world: domed cities, no animals, and a language
that’s so different, it barely sounds like English. And the worst news: They
can’t go back home.
The twenty-fifth-century government transported the girls to
their city hoping to find a famous scientist to help perfect a devastating new
weapon. The moblike Dakine fights against the government, and somehow Taylor
and Sheridan find themselves in the middle. The only way to elude them all is
to trust Echo, a guy with secrets of his own. The trio must put their faith in
the unknown to make a harrowing escape into the wilds beyond the city.
Full of adrenaline-injected chases and heartbreaking
confessions, Erasing Time explores the strength of the bonds between twins, the
risks and rewards of trust, and the hard road to finding the courage to fight
for what you believe in.

Inhale. Exhale. Breathe. Breathe.
Breathe . . .
The world is dead.
The survivors live under the protection of Breathe, the corporation that found
a way to manufacture oxygen-rich air.
ALINA
has been stealing for a long time. She’s a little jittery, but not terrified.
All she knows is that she’s never been caught before. If she’s careful, it’ll
be easy. If she’s careful.
QUINN
should be worried about Alina and a bit afraid for himself, too, but even
though this is dangerous, it’s also the most interesting thing to happen to him
in ages. It isn’t every day that the girl of your dreams asks you to rescue
her.
BEA
wants to tell him that none of this is fair; they’d planned a trip together,
the two of them, and she’d hoped he’d discover her out here, not another girl.
And as they walk into the Outlands with two days’ worth of oxygen in their
tanks, everything they believe will be shattered. Will they be able to make it
back? Will they want to?
Velveteen by Daniel Marks

Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and
murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem.
The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno,
it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the
day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to
do anything about what's really on her mind.
Bonesaw.
Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's
figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome.
But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating
consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of
purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except
fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely
off-limits coworker.
Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting
revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.
All of these books sounds really interesting! I can't wait to read these books! :D
