Fans of Stephenie Meyer's The Host will enjoy What's Left of Me,
Kat Zhang's shocking, thought-provoking, and emotionally charged
story of two souls sharing one body.
What's Left of Me, the first book of the Hybrid Chronicles, is
set in an alternate reality where everyone is born with two souls.
But one soul is naturally dominant, and in early childhood, the
other soul fades away.
That didn't happen for Addie and Eva. Now fifteen, Eva clings to
life inside the body she shares with Addie, although she can no
longer speak or even move.
Addie does everything she can to hide the presence of her sister
soul. Eva's very existence is illegal. If their secret is revealed,
it could mean death for both of them.
The thrilling and romantic second novel in the Incarnate
trilogy, a fantasy series about a girl who is the first new soul
born into a society where everyone else has been reborn hundreds of
times.
As a Newsoul, Ana has always felt alone. Some residents of Heart
are afraid of Ana's presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable
change and the unknown. When the people turn violent, Ana must
learn to stand up not only for herself, but also for those who
cannot stand up for themselves.
Romantic and action-filled, the rich world of Asunder is perfect
for fans of epic fantasy, like Graceling by Kristin Cashore and The
Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, while Ana's courage to
expose the cracks in society and fight for what is right is ideal
for fans of dystopian novels.
