WOW #68




I'm waiting on

 Countdown

Countdown by Michelle Rowen
Release Date September 24th 2013


3 seconds left to live. Once the countdown starts, it cannot be stopped.

2 pawns thrown into a brutal underground reality game.

Kira Jordan survived her family's murder and months on plague-devastated city streets with hard-won savvy and a low-level psi ability. She figures she can handle anything. Until she wakes up in a barren room, chained next to the notorious Rogan Ellis.

1 reason Kira will never, ever trust Rogan. Even though both their lives depend on it.

Their every move is controlled and televised for a vicious exclusive audience. And as Kira's psi skill unexpectedly grows and Rogan's secrets prove evermore deadly, Kira's only chance of survival is to risk trusting him as much as her instincts. Even if that means running head-on into the one trap she can't escape.

GAME 0VER

Why I'm Waiting?
I loved the adult version, this is a YA re-write. I'm really curious to see the changes. My mom is actually reading the adult version right now and she loves it.

    A YA re-write? That's something I've never heard of. Interesting concept though, re-market your book to a different type of reader. Reminds me of that new one 'Project Cain' that's coming out. That author has the 'adult version' releasing as well on the same day. This one sounds very interesting, I'll have to check both out. Thanks for sharing!

    I might check out the adult version (is it still available?). Not sure why this book would need a rewrite but an interesting idea! Plus, I like the cover.

    How on earth have I not heard of his before?!
    Sounds absolutely brilliant! Omg seriously going to the top of my TBR list, and I'm not even sure I can wait for the YA version, might have to buy the adult one.

    Also, had no idea people were turning their adult books into YA, we'll see how that turns out :)

    A YA rewrite? Haven't heard of that although I've heard of YA series set in the same world as the adult. I don't know how I feel about that-it makes me think about YA series being turned into New Adult with the addition of sex scenes, which I'm not thrilled with either.

    I love this new cover although I don’t really understand why they would make a YA version of an adult book. I would prefer if they would make an adult version of a YA book :) This is a new one for me, gonna go check it out!

    Wow, since when do they rewrite novels for YA's? Surely this changes the novel and story? I have to admit it sounds good though! Thanks for sharing!
