Can't
Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This
week’s pick is:
Nine by Zach Hines
Out: 8/7
From
Goodreads:
In
an alternate world startlingly close to our own, humans have nine lives—and
they can’t wait to burn straight through them.
As
you shed lives, you shed your awkward phases:
one death is equal to one physical and mental upgrade. Julian’s friends are obsessed with the idea
of burning lives, but Julian is determined to stay on his first for as long as
he can. His mother, the ultimate
cautionary tale, burned through her first eight in just a few years, and Julian
has no intention of succumbing to the debilitating rebirth sickness that she
inflicted on herself.
But
the regime has death incentives aimed at controlling overpopulation, and Julian
realizes that he’s going to have to burn at some point—especially when he
becomes the target for Nicholas, the manipulative leader of the Burners, the school’s
suicide club. And when Julian eventually
succumbs, he uncovers suspicious gaps in the rebirth system that may explain
exactly why his mother went so far down the rabbit hole years ago. Along with a group of student dissenters,
Julian sets out to find answers and is soon on the verge of exposing the
greatest conspiracy ever unleashed on the world.
He
has just eight more lives to uncover he brutal truth.
Why I’m
Waiting:
I discovered this one Wednesday recently and
just LOVED the concept! This sounds so
out there but so cool at the same time.
I am interested to see where it all goes!
