The Friday 56 (42) In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice where every Friday you pick a book and turn to page 56 or 56%, and select a sentence or a few, as long as it's not a spoiler. For the full rules, visit the the page HERE

Synopsis from Goodreads...

 Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds.

They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.

Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire...


In The Afterlight (The Darkest Minds, #3)"Be better than this, I thought, my nails digging into the palms of my hands. You have to be better than this. The adrenaline was slow to leave my system; I couldn't keep from shaking, not entirely."--In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken

    *slightly averts eyes* I've only read Darkest Minds. I got it as an eBook for I think 0.99, and my library doesn't have them and Im too broke to buy more books. I really really want to finish this series though. I loved the first book.

    Your 56 makes me think your character has a lot of character. LOL

      Yeah, Ruby was definitely an interesting character to read about (she went through a lot throughout the entire trilogy). Thanks for stopping by!

    The premise doesn't sound like my kind of book (I'm one of the weirdos that doesn't love dystopian!) but I love the sound of the teaser. She sounds like a strong and intelligent character which always appeals to me.

      Dystopian isn't my favorite genre either, but I've come across some really great stories recently (this trilogy is one of them). Thanks for stopping by! :-)

    This sounds like a series I need to read - as soon as I can see over the top of my TBR mountain. I am spotlighting Young Widows Club by Alexandra Coutts this week. Happy reading!
