Let the Sky Fall
by Shannon Messenger
Hardcover, 416 pages
Expected publication: March 5th 2013
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Pre-order: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Vane Weston should have died in the category five tornado that killed his parents. Instead, he woke up in a pile of rubble with no memories of his past—except one: a beautiful, dark-haired girl standing in the winds. She's swept through his dreams ever since, and he clings to the hope that she's real.
Audra is real, but she isn't human. She's a sylph, an air elemental who can walk on the wind, translate its alluring songs, even twist it into a weapon. She's also a guardian—Vane’s guardian—and has sworn an oath to protect him at all costs.
When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra has just days to help Vane unlock his memories. And as the storm winds gather, they start to realize the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them, but the forbidden romance growing between them.
Set amongst the desert airstreams of Coachella Valley in California, LET THE SKY FALL is about two teenagers broken by their pasts, divided by their futures, and bound by love.
Why I'm waiting: This sounds like a great start in a new series. The story's different and I could use some fresh novels in 2013 when the book world gets taken over by dystopian novels.
What are you waiting on this week?
I featured this one a few weeks ago! I love the cover and sylphs sound so interesting! Plus I was almost named Audra so that is a cool character :-D
