Waiting on Wednesday [34]: The ELITES don't bleed.


So lets start with my Waiting on Wednesday. I love doing this meme every wednesday. "Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted @ Bending the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
THIS WEEKS PICK:
Title: The Elites
Author: Natasha Ngan
Publication Date: September 5th 2013
Published by: Hot Key Books
Summary from Goodreads (here):
'There is a rumour that the Elites don't bleed.'
Hundreds of years into the future, wars, riots, resource crises and rising sea-levels have destroyed the old civilisations. Only one city has survived: Neo-Babel, a city full of cultures - and racial tension. Fifteen-year-old Silver is an Elite, a citizen of Neo-Babel chosen to guard the city due to her superior DNA.
She'd never dream of leaving - but then she fails to prevent the assassination of Neo Babel's president, setting off a chain of events more shocking and devastating than she could ever have imagined. Forced to flee the city with her best friend Butterfly (a boy with genetically-enhanced wings), Silver will have to fight to find her family, uncover the truth about Neo-Babel and come to terms with her complicated feelings for Butterfly.
Packed full of adventure, romance, exoticism and the power of friendship, THE ELITES is a highly compelling and beautifully written novel from a supremely talented debut author.
WHY I'M WAITING:
AH, U had me at BUTTERFLY! I SO want to meet him and Silver who seems like a badass girl! It's like Poison because of the assassination thing but then it's not fantasy but post-apocalyptic *i guess* I FREAKING LOVE that cover TO DEATH!! Until I can read this I will be floating around as a fire butterfly :P *SEE YA AROUND*
THAT'S IT!! EXCITED-INTERESTING? WHAT R U WAITING FOR? LEAVE LINKS IN COMMENTS :D
