MIRROR X
by Karri Thompson
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Pub. Date: June 30th 2014
I was born more than a thousand years ago. Put into a
cryogenic tube at age seventeen, forgotten during a holocaust that decimated
the world, I've finally been awakened to a more serene and peaceful future. But
things at the hospital are new and strange. And it’s starting to scare me. Everyone
is young. Everyone is banded and tracked. And everyone is keeping
secrets.
The cute geneticist Michael Bennett might be the only
good thing in this crazy new world where “life is precious” but no one seems
free to live it. The problem is, I don’t think he’s being totally honest with
me, either.
When I’m told only I can save the human race from
extinction, it’s clear my freeze didn’t avoid a dreadful fate. It only delayed
the horror…
Exclusive Excerpt:
Michael took a
seat on the edge of my bed, rocking me toward him. When the side of my thigh
met his knee, my heart rate doubled, and I drew in a deep breath.
“Before you were
awakened I spent hours at your bedside imaging what you were like, how your
voice would sound, how you looked when you smiled. When your red lips pulsed,
when your chest heaved, and you took your first breath, I kept my emotions in
check. But now, now that you’ve ‘awakened,’ everything is different. I can’t
sleep. I can’t stop thinking about you.”
I ignored the
pain and tilted closer until the space between our faces was less than a foot.
My heart, my mind, my soul—everything yearned for his affection at that moment.
“I feel the same
way, too.”
I closed my
eyes, wanting this handsome, earnest guy to take me into his arms and
tell me he’d make them let me go. My lungs expanded with his warm breath and
spicy scent. When his lips met mine, every atom in my body danced, urging me to
pull him closer and tighten my grip upon his back.
His kissing
became more fiery and I reacted by kissing him harder. It wasn’t until his
mouth moved to my neck, that I came to my senses and drew away.
“Not yet,” I
said, scooting away.
“I know,” he
said between breaths, rising from the bed. His wiped his forehead with the
sleeve of his uniform and returned to the chair. “I can’t…we can’t. We can
never…,” he said abruptly. “It’s against protocol. I-I should go.”
Karri’s debut YA novel, Amateur Angel, was released May 1, 2012. The next book in that series, Hollywood Angels, came out September 1, 2013. The first book in her upcoming dystopian trilogy, The Van Winkle Chronicles, will be released by Entangled Publishing Spring 2014.
