This week I am waiting on:
Ivory and Bone
By: Julie Eshbaugh
Publisher: HarperTeen
I have a feeling this is one that readers will either love or hate. I sincerely hope it falls on the love side for me. If I'm not super-excited, you may ask, then why am I even bothering to feature it?
Heidi Heilig gave it 5 stars.
And if you don't know who Heidi Heilig is, you have homework to do.
A prehistoric fantasy—with allusions to Pride and Prejudice.
Hunting, gathering, and keeping his family safe—that’s the life seventeen-year-old Kol knows. Then bold, enigmatic Mya arrives from the south with her family, and Kol is captivated. He wants her to like and trust him, but any hopes of impressing her are ruined when he makes a careless—and nearly grave—mistake. However, there’s something more to Mya’s cool disdain…a history wrought with loss that comes to light when another clan arrives. With them is Lo, an enemy from Mya’s past who Mya swears has ulterior motives.
As Kol gets to know Lo, tensions between Mya and Lo escalate until violence erupts. Faced with shattering losses, Kol is forced to question every person he’s trusted. One thing is for sure: this was a war that Mya or Lo—Kol doesn’t know which—had been planning all along.
