The Apocalypse Gene
by Suki Michelle & Carlyle Clark
Publication Date: October 17th, 2011
From Goodreads:
With Pandemic ravaging the globe, Olivya’s psychic Sight compels her to see auras riddled with the colors of despair, and now her mother is infected.
Olivya’s only hope is the mysterious Mikah, a powerful Empath who claims the Pandemic is linked to his clan, the Kindred, and their brooding, monstrous, Immortal Lord. But can she trust this boy who can manipulate her very emotions?
With Mikah’s aid, Olivya races to unearth Kindred secrets, desperate to find a cure, only to discover the Pandemic is far, far more than a mere disease . .
What’s got me excited?
Ever since I first got my hands of a copy of Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson at age 15 I’ve been a cyberpunk junkie. The reviews paint this book as a little bit urban fantasy and a little bit cyberpunk. Most importantly it seems to have that almost claustrophobic frenzy that a good cyberpunk, steeped in the relentlessly on-rushing future, will embody. Love it!
This one sounds pretty interesting. I’ve never read any cyberpunk novels but it sounds definitely like a genre I’d love. =) I’ll have to add this to my to read list!
That looks awesome! Adding to my tbr on goodreads.
This one sounds different! Love the cover as well. Never heard of it before.

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for an ARC of Legend.
I am not a huge dystopians but if it is as good as Hunger Games or Divergent then I’ll give it a try
I’ve never heard of this one, but it sounds fascinating. I’m also a big fan of Snow Crash (and most other Neal Stephenson books). I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

Happened across this post about Apoc-G! The Kirkus review refers to its “breakneck pace”, and the action really ramps up in scenes that take place in the cyberworld.
