Got this book from NetGalley, read the other books in the series around a year ago. Loved them both, so when I saw this one on NetGalley  so of course I requested it and was super happy to get approved. I can't wait to start it, hopefully, I'll have time to do that soon.

Synopsis:
     Quanta has escaped her laboratory prison, but that’s where the good news ends.
     Life at the Shadow Ravens’ compound is a disaster. She’s drowning in visions of the dark pasts and darker futures of her fellow Ravens and is plagued by her own panic-inducing memories, but Lady Eva still expects her to “train” and “participate in missions.” Plus, the food tastes like burnt plastic.
     The only bright spot is her genetic pairing to the brilliant Altair Orpheus. As their relationship grows, she’s positive that chemicals aren’t the only things drawing them together—although chemistry is definitely involved.
     While they test the limits of her game-changing new ability to reset time, word arrives from Eva’s agents: Doctor Nagi is still experimenting with her DNA. If he succeeds in duplicating her power…
     Forget the Shadow Ravens. The whole world is toast.




Book Beginning:
Sweat matted my hair to my face.
Sticky, gross, frustrating sweat.


My 56:
It felt like a boulder rested on my chest. My lungs ached with fear for Quanta's fate.

  2. That cover reminds me of another cover in a way. What a strong 56, makes me wonder what is causing so much fear.

  3. I usually enjoy a good paranormal. Sounds like this has a touch of scifi too, with the DNA issue. Could be a good one.

  4. Sounds good. I like the description. My pick this week is Stalking Ground by Margaret Mizushima - newly released mystery. Happy reading!
