Origin by Jessica Khoury

Pia is not like other girls- she was created as the first of an immortal race in a secret laboratory in the Amazonian jungle and has spent her entire life behind the gates of this hidden compound. On her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers that part of the fence surrounding the compound has been opened, and she leaves the sequestered life she has always known to discover what lies beyond. There, she meets a young boy from a local village, Eio, and  together they set off to uncover the truth of Pia's mysterious origin and the meaning of immortality. Jessica Khoury brings us Origin, which highlights themes of yearning for agelessness, scientific ethics, and what it means to be human.

A horrible virus has ravaged the world, and only a select few have been chosen to relocate to the safe haven of the POD system, a series of underground chambers created to protect the last remaining survivors. Eva and David are among the lucky ones and are awaiting the day when the virus has been wiped out above ground and they can resume life as normal. One year later, the PODs have been reopened, allowing its citizens to return to the world above and start rebuilding. However, what they did not foresee was that the virus had mutated, creating horrific monsters. Now, the remaining members of civilization are facing a greater threat than the virus itself, and Eva and David must seek safety back in the PODs, but will the cleverly crafted underground city hold off the monsters for long? Horror, paranoia, and sheer biological terror await Eva and David in Michelle Pickett's upcoming novel, PODs.

Waiting on Wednesday >> Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer

Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer by Cecily von Ziegesar - October 3, 2011 - Paperback, 272 pages

I can't say that I was terribly impressed with the first installment of the Gossip Girl book series, but I must say that the TV series was quite a guilty pleasure for me. Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer, my wait-tastic pick for October, is a slasher retelling of the first book. It combines my two favorite things: bad books and bad books getting bloody makeovers. In the glamorous world of New York's upper east side, beauty is only skin deep.
