Book Title: Stitch (Stitch Trilogy, Book 1)
Link to Book: Stitch
Number of eBook copies available: 10
Genre of Book: Young Adult/New Adult Dystopian Sci-Fi & Paranormal Romance
Reader Age Range: 14+ (PG-13 rating - a few curses, clean romance)

Synopsis:
Her heart races, her muscles coil, and every impulse in Alessa's body screams at her to run... but yet she's powerless to move.

Still struggling to find her footing after the sudden death of her parents, the last thing college freshman Alessa has the strength to deal with is the inexplicable visceral pull drawing her to a handsome ghostly presence. In between grappling with exams and sorority soirees - and disturbing recurring dreams of being captive in a futuristic prison hell - Alessa is determined to unravel the mystery of the apparition who leaves her breathless. But the terrifying secret she uncovers will find her groping desperately through her nightmares for answers.

Because what Alessa hasn't figured out yet is that she's not really a student, the object of her obsession is no ghost, and her sneaking suspicions that something sinister is lurking behind the walls of her university's idyllic campus are only just scratching the surface...

The opening installment in a twist-laden trilogy, Stitch spans the genres of paranormal romance and dystopian sci-fi to explore the challenges of a society in transition, where morality, vision, and pragmatism collide leaving the average citizen to suffer the results.

Thank you SO MUCH, Meaghan! I'm super excited that you liked it. :-) And I'm glad the quantum physics held up to your scrutiny, considering you actually have a background in it!! Haha. I think you'll definitely like the next one - it answers all your big questions and gives you a lot more time with Isaac and Alessa. Thank you again for your help!

Thank you, Adrianne!! So excited that you liked it - your review totally made my day. :-) And as you hoped, the next one in the series is going to bring in a few different perspectives (along with more of Isaac & Alessa's), so you'll get to learn more about how this world came about!


Dalu  | 18 comments Here's my review!

Thank you SO much, Dalu! It's always wonderful to hear from a big dystopian fan that Stitch was a great addition to the genre - really appreciate all your help!!

Thank you, Caitlin! Really appreciate all your help! Also, if you're looking for a good time travel book, I highly recommend Time's Twisted Arrow by Rysa Walker - it's a great mix of romance, sci-fi, and historical fiction, I couldn't put it down!

You're welcome :D I'm very much looking forward to reading it when it's published!

Jack (jack_) | 564 comments Since Dani has not submitted her review in time, she will be banned and reported to Goodreads. I am sorry Samantha for this selfish act Dani has committed.

Oh no! Well that's a bummer. :'-( I know you guys need to enforce the rules, but Dani, no hard feelings - I understand that sometimes things come up in life! Whenever you do get a chance to read Stitch, if you have time to post a review, that would be great. Thanks again, Jack, for taking on the (sometimes difficult) position of moderation.


message 45: by Jack (new)

Jack (jack_) | 564 comments It can be difficult, but Dani has not been an active member of Goodreads for the past 2 weeks. David I'd going t try and contact her, but I'm afraid the rules have to be enforced.
