Waiting on Wednesday #41: The Elites

Waiting on Wednesday is a wonderful meme created by Jill from Breaking the Spine where we highlighted an upcoming release that we're eagerly anticipating.

The Elites

by Natasha Ngan
Paperback, 368 pages

Published September 5th 2013 

by Hot Key Books

Summary from Goodreads:

‘There is a rumour that the Elites don’t bleed.’

Hundreds of years into the future, wars, riots, resource crises and rising sea-levels have destroyed the old civilisations. Only one city has survived: Neo-Babel, a city full of cultures – and racial tension.

Fifteen-year-old Silver is an Elite, a citizen of Neo-Babel chosen to guard the city due to her superior DNA. She’d never dream of leaving – but then she fails to prevent the assassination of Neo Babel’s president, setting off a chain of events more shocking and devastating than she could ever have imagined. Forced to flee the city with her best friend Butterfly (a boy with genetically-enhanced wings), Silver will have to fight to find her family, uncover the truth about Neo-Babel and come to terms with her complicated feelings for Butterfly.

Thoughts:

Okay so this is not actually an upcoming release but a book that has already been published but is so under the radar that I think that it needs more promotion. It is a UK YA hence there's only a paperback version and have yet to be published as an e-book. Hurry up already! I love the premise, the cover and the kick-ass looking chick in front of it and the fact that the author has the same first name as mine. :)
