This one finally has a cover, which means I can show it to you! I've been a fan of Lenore's blog, Presenting Lenore, pretty much since I started blogging (so years now), so I was happy to hear she'd gotten a publishing contract with Simon & Shuster! Given her taste in books (ie similar to my own), I'm eager to see what kind of story she tells...
What do you guys think? Is this one going on your to-read list?
Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans
280 pages
Expected publication: January 15th 2013 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Since her untimely death the day before her eighteenth birthday, Felicia Ward has been trapped in Level 2, a stark white afterlife located between our world and the next. Along with her fellow prisoners, Felicia passes the endless hours downloading memories and mourning what she’s lost—family, friends, and the boy she loved, Neil.
Then a girl in a neighboring chamber disappears, and nobody but Felicia seems to recall she existed in the first place. Something is obviously very wrong. When Julian—a dangerously charming guy Felicia knew in life—comes to offer Felicia a way out, she learns the truth: a rebellion is brewing to overthrow the Morati, the guardians of Level 2.
Felicia is reluctant to trust Julian, but then he promises what she wants the most—to be with Neil again—if only she’ll join the rebels. Suspended between Heaven and Earth, Felicia finds herself in the center of an age-old struggle between good and evil. As memories from her life come back to haunt her, and as the Morati hunt her down, Felicia will discover it’s not just her own redemption at stake… but the salvation of all mankind.
