Chain Reaction (Perfect Chemistry #3)

CHAIN REACTION by Simone Elkeles is the upcoming book in the Perfect Chemistry series and features Luis, the third Fuentes brother.
Luis is a good kid who finds out a secret that turns him into a bad guy. It'll take Alex and Carlos (and a love interest) to try and turn him back around to be a good guy again.

When asked on her website, Elkeles was quoted as saying:

"Good news! Right now I am working on Luis Fuentes’ story. I can’t give away any of the exciting details because I just started writing the book so don’t email me asking for details or hints, but I will tell you that all of your favorite characters (Alex & Brittany and Carlos & Kiara) will be back. Even some of the supporting characters might make an appearance, like Tuck and Isa (and maybe some characters you don’t want to be there will be there, too)."

To be published sometime in 2011

"Oh, Lil," he says, sounding sincerely sad. "You know I love you, but -"

No phrase in the history of civilization that begins with "I love you, but..." has ever ended well.

Pick of the Month - July

After looking over the list of the books I read in July - my top pick would have to go to "Unwind" by Neal Shusterman.
This haunting book will stay with you for awhile. Shusterman takes an unbelievable tale of harvesting body parts from kids and makes it realistic.
There is one chapter that you simply can not stop reading no matter how much you might try.



Summary by Goodreads: "In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them.

Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.
In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers' ideas about life -- not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive."
