Summary
Information terrorism. Complete network blackout. Global panic. Above the chaos, one company rises to restore order, achieving complete political and military takeover: Omnibus.
Stanford graduate and new Omnibus employee Jace Vega faces these sobering images, appearing to show her future, when a cutting-edge Omnibus tablet mysteriously falls into her hands. Reeling from the recent tragic death of her mother, socially reclusive Jace struggles as she carries the weight of this foreknowledge.
When Corey, an acquaintance from Stanford shows up, he becomes central in helping Jace try to stop Omnibus. But because the plan involves getting close to Damien, the charming, smooth son of Omnibus founder, Victor Trent, Jace becomes conflicted with a barrage of new emotions. Both men profess allegiance, but she doesn’t know who she can trust.
As Jace wrestles to understand how to change the future, vivid dreams and waking visions unmask her obscured past and her true identity. In the ultimate test of self-trust, Jace must harness her unique internal power and use it to stop Omnibus.
Tens List
Ten things I would change if I could go back to the past
By Adrienne Quintana
This book revolves around a thought that someone can go back and drop something from the future or change the past. I asked the author, Adrienne Quintana, if she wouldn't mind putting together a list of what she would change in her past. Here's what she picked (I definitely agree with a lot of these):
1. I would use less hairspray in the 90’s.
2. I would talk back less and be more helpful to my mom.
3. Along the same lines, I would have spent more time having her teach me to cook.
4. I would insist on buying maternity pants with my first born. We were really poor when my husband was in law school, so I just wore his pants through most of the pregnancy. I looked like the Marshmallow Man.
5. I would eradicate the color mustard yellow.
6. I wouldn’t take any dating suggestions from my dad.
7. I would keep better eye contact during dates.
8. I would be kinder to my sisters.
9. I would talk less and listen more.
10. I would read more books.
Adrienne Quintana is the second of nine children and has always loved to read. After a mission, marriage, and four children, Adrienne completed her Bachelors of Science and Communication at the University of Phoenix. In the midst of housekeeping, potty-training, and carpooling, Adrienne discovered that she could still find time to accomplish her a life-long dream of becoming a writer.

out my WOW
I want to read this too. I like the colors in the cover. :)
ReplyDeleteThis does really sound good. I've seen a few books with a similar premise, but not one that was YA. Here's mine ~https://alisbooks.wordpress.com/2015/01/21/waiting-on-wednesday-13-beautiful-redemption/
ReplyDeleteI think I would probably go back and change some of the same things she mentioned also. Especially the back talk less and help my mother more. :). Sounds like a wonderful book. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI just got this one from NetGalley and I CAN'T WAIT to read it. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteWOW
I have heard nothing but amazing things about this book. I actually just thought her first book was ok, but I'm definitely planning on reading this one. Great pick! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not alone in that. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'll be over. Late is better than never, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I did just get the eARC last week, so I'm so excited to start reading it!
ReplyDeleteIt just looks like contemporary YA to me and I like it when covers match what's behind them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Alison. I'll be over.
ReplyDeleteMe too, me too!!! :D I hope we both love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! I hope it ends up being a great book for both of us.
