BOOK FOR THE MONTH OF
DECEMBER- VITRO by Jessica Khoury
If you didn’t get a chance to read last month’s pick, Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi it’s not too late to check it out. For those of you who participated in the live chat on Goodreads with authors Veronica and Colleen Houck, thanks! It was so much fun! For December’s book selection, Colleen has chosen…
VITRO
by her friend Jessica Khoury
Here’s a little teaser
“On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings—the Vitros—have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.
Seventeen-year-old Sophie Crue is determined to get to Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. With the help of Jim Julien, a young charter pilot, she arrives–and discovers a terrifying secret she never imagined: she has a Vitro twin, Lux, who is the culmination of Corpus’s dangerous research.
Now Sophie is torn between reuniting with the mother who betrayed her and protecting the genetically enhanced twin she never knew existed. But untangling the twisted strands of these relationships will have to wait, for Sophie and Jim are about to find out just what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach.”
Introducing Jessica Khoury
Colleen first heard about Jessica when she was asked to do a blurb about her novel, Origin, and she loved it! She’s been a part of the Young Adult Scavenger Hunt for the past few years.
Here’s a little about Jessica,
“Jessica Khoury wrote her first book at age 4, a fan fic sequel to Syd Hoff’s Danny and the Dinosaur, which she scribbled on notebook paper, stapled together, and placed on the bookshelf of her preschool classroom. Since that day, she’s dreamed of being an author.
When not writing, Jess enjoys spending time with family, playing video games, and traveling the world in search of stories and inspiration.
Jess currently lives in Greenville, South Carolina. She is the author of Origin, Vitro, and forthcoming Kalahari.“
Check her out on her website at www.jessicakhoury.com.
I’m very excited to check out her novel and I look forward to discussing it at the end of the month with all of you on Goodreads for the live chat.
So everybody who wants to join us, go get your hands on this book and if you’ve already read it then awesome! You can start leaving your questions right away (but don’t share spoilers just yet).
For fun there will be a GIVEAWAY with a copy of the novels Origin, Vitro and Tiger’s Curse during the live chat! You won’t want to miss this one!
Stay tuned for the 10th edition of THE MODERN INK SOCIETY featuring guest blogger- Jessica Khoury!
Happy reading everyone!
