WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE TO PROTECT THOSE YOU LOVE?

From the author of the dystopian thrill ride ABOVE THE SKY comes this heart-pounding sequel. It picks up just minutes after the conclusion of ABOVE THE SKY as eighteen-year-old Seven attempts to save those she loves, and herself, in a world full of secrets.

RETURN TO THE SKY is book two in a compelling new science fiction series that tells the story of young men and women coming of age in a post-apocalyptic future society founded on lies. Filled with exciting suspense, surprising twists, forbidden romance, imaginative adventure, and thought-provoking philosophy, the SKY series is perfect for teen and adult fans of THE HUNGER GAMES (by Suzanne Collins), DIVERGENT (by Veronica Roth), THE GENDER GAME (by Bella Forrest), SLAVE (by Laura Frances), CONFIGURED (by Jenetta Penner), THE MAZE RUNNER (by James Dashner), and THE GIVER (by Lois Lowry).

I read the first book, Above the Sky, and absolutely LOVED IT! I thought the author’s writing is exceptional – so incredibly imaginative, detailed, and deeply moving. I was utterly captivated by the storyline and characters that I didn’t want to stop reading. The plot was fast paced, full of action and suspense, and filled with twists and turns that left me wanting more. Now, I don’t really have a good excuse as to why I haven’t read Return to the Sky. Having a tower of TBR just waiting for me certainly doesn’t help. So… I know I won’t be getting to this for another month or two, BUT I’m definitely looking forward to binging this thrilling and emotional series.

If you’re fans of dystopian books and unbelievably amazing FEELS, then add this series to you TBR.
