The book:
Love Blind by Christa Desir & Jolene Perry
Expected Publication: May 10th 2016 by Simon Pulse
Number of Pages: 320 Pages (Hardcover)
Series: No
It starts with a list of fears. Stupid things really. Things that Hailey shouldn't worry about, wouldn’t worry about if she didn’t wake up every morning with the world a little more blurry. Unable to see her two moms clearly. Unable to read the music for her guitar. One step closer to losing the things she cares about the most.
For a while, the only thing that keeps Hailey moving forward is the feeling she gets when she crosses something off the list.
Then she meets Kyle. He mumbles—when he talks at all—and listens to music to drown out his thoughts. He’s loaded down with fears, too. So Hailey talks him into making his own list.
Together, they stumble into an odd friendship, helping each other tackle one after another of their biggest fears. But fate and timing can change everything. And sometimes facing your worst fear makes you realize you had nothing to lose after all. (goodreads.com)
My thoughts:
I want this book and I want it now, come on May, hurry up!
I don't know about you but I've never read a book about a character slowly going blind before so that already sounds truly intriguing to me. Also, a list of fears that Hailey wants to tackle before everything goes dark? That sounds brave, probably braver then I would be so I really can't wait to see how that plays out in the story. I also really like the simplicity of the cover which makes it stand out for entirely different reasons then those book covers filled with colors and faces, you know which ones I mean.
All in all I'm really excited for this one and cannot wait to read it!

The book:
True Born by L.E.Sterling
Expected Publication: May 3rd 2016 by Entangled: Teen
Number of Pages: 304 Pages (Paperback)
Series: Yes, #1 in the True Born Trilogy
Welcome to Dominion City.
After the great Plague descended, the world population was decimated...and their genetics damaged beyond repair.
The Lasters wait hopelessly for their genes to self-destruct. The Splicers pay for expensive treatments that might prolong their life. The plague-resistant True Borns are as mysterious as they are feared…
And then there's Lucy Fox and her identical twin sister, Margot. After endless tests, no one wants to reveal what they are.
When Margot disappears, a desperate Lucy has no choice but to put her faith in the True Borns, led by the charismatic Nolan Storm and the beautiful but deadly Jared Price. As Lucy and the True Borns set out to rescue her sister, they stumble upon a vast conspiracy stretching from Dominion’s street preachers to shady Russian tycoons. But why target the Fox sisters?
As they say in Dominion, it’s in the blood. (goodreads.com)
My thoughts:
This book sounds amazing!
I love this type of books where some kind of plague diminished the populations or some kind of virus, and the story set in the world trying to survive the aftermath of it all. Awesome, sign me up asap. The idea of identical twins and one of them having to find the other twin that disappeared sounds intriguing. Besides that I'm curious who there True Borns are and how everything will play together and the story go.
And let's face it, the cover is absolutely gorgeous, even though it's relatively simple, but I think that's the beauty of it. It definitely caught my eye when I saw its reveal on twitter some time ago.
Can May 2016 please hurry up?
