Synopsis: (from Goodreads.com) Ima would give anything to escape The Dome and learn what’s beyond its barriers, but the Chicago government has kept all its citizens on lockdown ever since the Scorched Years left most of the world a desert wasteland. When a mysterious group of hooded figures enters the city unexpectedly, Ima uncovers a plot to destroy The Dome and is given the choice between escaping to a new, dangerous city or staying behind and fighting a battle she can never win. 

My Review: Last week I posted an excerpt from this book. It was a mysterious prologue and when I read it, I was hooked immediately. I could not wait to immerse myself in this new book.

My overall impression - it's a good read.

  

Leonelle delivered an interesting plot. It's not lacking the element of mystery and it's exciting.

Reading Update and A Blog Tour

I'm still working Atonement. I've also added The Boleyn Inheritance to my pile. Both are really good so far.

But here's something new, this week I'm participating in blog tour.

The book is called Socialpunk by Monica Leonelle.

It is the first book in the series. I'm only several chapters in but I'm enjoying it a lot. I can't wait to read more and see where the series will go.

There will be a review as soon as I finish it. Until then, here's a little excerpt:

 Prologue 

After playing God for six years with the world he created, he couldn’t control any of his subjects, none at all. Over the years, he had watched them evolve and become the sum of their own choices rather than the sum of his; and for that, he regretted ever giving them life.
