Waiting on Wednesday #88: The Unquiet by Mikaela Everett
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where bloggers can rant and rave about any upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating. For my addition, I will be spotlighting an upcoming book AND sometimes I will throw in a video game release that I am dying to get my hands on!
This week in WoW, I’m waiting on an eerily futuristic YA science fiction novel comparable to Orphan Black and Fringe! Check out my top pick this week…
This Week’s Pick:
Title: The Unquiet
Author: Mikaela Everett
Expected Publication: September 22nd 2015 by Greenwillow Books
Add It:Goodreads
Wishlist It:Amazon
Overview:
For most of her life, Lirael has been training to kill—and replace—a duplicate version of herself on a parallel Earth. She is the perfect sleeper-soldier. But she’s beginning to suspect she is not a good person.
The two Earths are identical in almost every way. Two copies of every city, every building, even every person. But the people from the second Earth know something their duplicates do not—two versions of the same thing cannot exist. They—and their whole planet—are slowly disappearing. Lira has been trained mercilessly since childhood to learn everything she can about her duplicate, to be a ruthless sleeper-assassin who kills that other Lirael and steps seamlessly into her life.
An intricate, literary stand-alone from an astonishing new voice, The Unquiet takes us deep inside the psyche of a strong teenage heroine struggling with what she has been raised to be and who she really is. Fans of eerily futuristic and beautifully crafted stories such as Never Let Me Go, Orphan Black, and Fringe will find themselves haunted by this unsettling debut.

I have had this one on my radar and now that I see the Orphan Black comparisons, I know I have to have it. Doesn’t the new season of OB start this Saturday? I have the DVR ready.
YES IT DOES!!!!! I swear that show is the best thing on TV besides Games of Thrones and Walking Dead! They get sci fi right!!! Thanks for stopping by!
I think this book is available for review right now 😉 The Orphan Black comparison got me too, even though I haven’t managed to watch it. I only know about it from Tumblr, hah, but I have the dvds ready to watch. I hope you enjoy it!

It’s a show I HIGHLY recommend! If you love sci fi, they do it right. Plus, the characters are outstanding! Thanks for stopping by!
Oooh, this sounds super cool! I read something similar once… the title escape me right now, but I loved it! So I’d probably like this too. Great cover also.

I went looking through my stuff and found it. It’s called Dualed by Elsie Chapman. And it was really good. Very suspenseful.
The cover is kinda freaky! I hope you enjoy the book! Check out my WoW!
