Synopsis from Goodreads...The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminaecontinues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.
Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this. They hope...

Donnelly, H: Just...
Donnelly, H: If nothing was ever going to happen with us--and I know in what passes for reality for you that's obviously not true, but just pretend--if nothing was ever going to happen, would you want to be my friend?"-- Gemina by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Comments: I have waited so long for this book to come out. I was really excited for it, and while the story wasn't exactly what I was expecting, it was still a good book,
What are you reading this week?
I really liked Gemina - it was a little different to Illuminae. At times it felt almost like Die Hard in Space which I actually kinda liked! Definitely excited for the third book!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday Reads
Yes, I agree. Gemina was very different from the first book, but it did have some really great twists so I'm definitely excited for the third book. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI recently read Illuminae. I'll have to add this one to my wishlist too. This week my YA pick is Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGemina is a good sequel to Illuminae. Thanks for stopping by! :D
DeleteI've seen this around and the title makes me pause. I am a Gemini. :-)

ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend Illuminae. It was a fun book and the use of the mixed media was awesome. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYAY Gemina!!!! I have this book on my shelves but somehow have managed holding off actually picking the thing up...because review requests are at the top of my reading list right now! I mean...I'm pretty impressed with my self control, but I'm DYYYYYING at the same time because WANNA READ IT! Hahaha, thank you so so much for sharing!

Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteI'm rereading the first book while waiting for this one. The publisher had to send another copy because the last one never made it. I guess someone out there is enjoying it. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy Friday 56 from Better Off Thread

ReplyDeleteI just finished Gemina this month. I absolutely loved it, but I can see why some didn't like it as much as Illuminae. They were pretty different from each other!
