The first book in an original mystery series featuring twenty-eight-year-old Veronica Mars, back in action after the events of Veronica Mars: The Movie. With the help of old friends—Logan Echolls, Mac Mackenzie, Wallace Fennel, and even Dick Casablancas—Veronica is ready to take on Neptune’s darkest cases with her trademark sass and smarts.
I'm a huge fan of the Veronica Mars TV show (and was a Kickstarter backer for the upcoming movie), so I'm definitely excited for a book series! More Veronica Mars? YES please!

WOULD YOU TRY TO CHANGE THE WORLDIF YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD NO FUTURE?
Graduating from high school is a time of limitless possibilities—but not for Glory, who has no plan for what's next. Her mother committed suicide when Glory was only four years old, and she’s never stopped wondering if she will eventually go the same way...until a transformative night when she begins to experience an astonishing new power to see a person’s infinite past and future. From ancient ancestors to many generations forward, Glory is bombarded with visions—and what she sees ahead of her is terrifying.
A tyrannical new leader raises an army. Women’s rights disappear. A violent second civil war breaks out. And young girls vanish daily, sold off or interned in camps. Glory makes it her mission to record everything she sees, hoping her notes will somehow make a difference. She may not see a future for herself, but she’ll do everything in her power to make sure this one doesn’t come to pass.
I'm still new to AS King's writing (loved EVERYBODY SEES THE ANTS, and am starting THE DUST OF 100 DOGS), but I'm enjoying her work so far, so I'm curious about her next novel.
What are you waiting on?
Both great picks! So excited for Veronica Mars! Also, I have never read any of A.S. King's books, although I hear they are great. I'll have to add this one to my TBR list. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for the VMars book - only a couple months to go!

ReplyDeleteI have only watched one episode of Veronica Mars. I missed the boat when it was on TV. Guess I have some catching up to do! That is cool that the show was popular enough to earn the funds for a movie through Kickstarter and that a mystery series will be written.
