Insurgent

Title: Insurgent
Author: Veronica Roth
Rating: 5/5 and FAV.

Description:
One choice can transform you — or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself — while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grow. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable — and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. As she has left the city and gone beyond the gates that Dauntless protects.

My Thoughts:
I can't believe I must wait till oct to find out what happens next. This is a wicked good book. I'm enjoying to characters and story so far. I have to read the next one- urgh. I don't know what to say about it but that. Maybe when I get to read the last book I'll do a sum up book where I'll even talk about the book in a video. would you guys like that. :)

I can't wait for this book!

The novel is called Through the Zombie Glass by Gena Showalter. I love her books. And will love to get an advance copy of this book by the author. If I don't get it I'll still be reading it when it comes out. This is book 2 of The White Rabbit Chronicles. Also I'm a huge Alice in Wonderland fan- if that helps!

Divergent

Title: Divergent
Author: Veronica Roth
Rating: 5/5 fav.

Description:
In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.
