Review of Partials (Partials, #1) by Dan Wells

 Description
The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population.

Reduced to only tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.

Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic-in-training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws have pushed what's left of humanity to the brink of civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will find that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.

library Haul (5) ! :)

Hello everyone, 

I went to the library today with my boyfriend and picked up two books! 

1 of them I was VERY excited about, the other 1, I just want to know how the series continues!

Which I am so excited to read, as I have been waiting to read this for so long!

I have heard really good things about this book, so I am going to read this knowing that loads of people love this!

Twisted Heart (Dark Angel #2) by Eden Maguire

I got this one after finishing the first one, which was in my Library Haul (4) ! :)

I am interested in reading the second one, but I am not as excited as reading Partials. :D

The Cover Wars: Partials

Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I decided to get together to do a weekly meme where we would compare covers of the UK editions of books with those of the US editions.

The aim of this is to just have a bit of fun. We put ourselves in the position where we see both of these books side by side in the bookstore. Which would we choose? Why that one and not the other?

This week, we will be comparing the UK and US covers of Partials by Dan Wells.

The First book is the US version and the Second one is the UK

version.

Tara Says: The covers are really similar apart from a few differences. The UK one is darker than and doesn’t really stand out as much as the US one, which has brighter colours and the title stands out more, so US for me.

Rea says: This is a case where the difference between the covers is really very small. It’s all about which shading you prefer. Personally, I prefer the more natural, yellowy-browns to the purples. US for me.

Score: 

Week 22:      US: 3    UK: 11    Draw: 7
