Perfect Ruin (The Internment Chronicles, #1) by Lauren DeStefano |
Expected Publication: October 1st 2013 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
{Goodreads Summary}
On Internment, the floating island in the clouds where 16-year-old Morgan Stockhour lives, getting too close to the edge can lead to madness. Even though Morgan's older brother, Lex, was a Jumper, Morgan vows never to end up like him. She tries her best not to mind that her life is orderly and boring, and if she ever wonders about the ground, and why it is forbidden, she takes solace in best friend Pen and her betrothed, Basil.
Then a murder, the first in a generation, rocks the city. With whispers swirling and fear on the wind, Morgan can no longer stop herself from investigating, especially when she meets Judas. He is the boy being blamed for the murder — betrothed to the victim — but Morgan is convinced of his innocence. Secrets lay at the heart of Internment, but nothing can prepare Morgan for what she will find — or who she will lose.

{Why I'm Waiting}
I haven't read anything by Lauren DeStefano but I've heard that she's really good. Perfect Ruin sounds great, isn't it. And look at that gorgeous cover! I just can't wait.
I haven't heard of this one before, but I've got to say, I'm not loving the cover.
