"Waiting On" Wednesday: Vitro

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine. It features books we are eagerly anticipating getting our hands on. My pick for this week is:   VITRO By: Jessica Khoury Exptected Publication Date: 01/14/2014       A death-defying tropical adventure delivers a frightening message about dabbling with creation from the talented author of Origin.

On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings—the Vitros—have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.

Sophie Crue is determined to get to Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. She enlists hunky charter pilot Jim Julien to take her there. But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux.

In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach.       Mark it TBR and Preorder it ~ Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Book Depository ~

 

 

 

I was sadly denied an ARC of VITRO :-( but that does not change the fact that I am DYING to get my hands on it!!
