Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. It spotlights books that have not yet been released, but ones that you should pre-order today! This week's book that I am anxiously awaiting is:
The Leveller
by Julia Durango
Nixy Bauer is a self-made Leveller. Her job? Dragging kids out of virtual reality and back to their parents in the real world. It's normally easy cash, but Nixy's latest mission is fraught with real danger, intrigue, and romance.
Nixy Bauer is used to her classmates being very, very unhappy to see her. After all, she's a bounty hunter in a virtual reality game world. Kids in the MEEP, as they cal it, play entirely with their minds, while their bodies languish in a sleeplike state on the couch. Irritated parents, looking to wrench their kids back to reality, hire Nixy to jump into the game and retrieve them.
But when the game's billionaire developer loses track of his own son in the MEEP, Nixy is in for the biggest challenge of her bounty-hunting career. Wyn Salvador isn't some lazy kid looking to escape his homework: Wyn does not want to be find. And he's left behind a suicide note. Nixy takes the job but quickly discovers that Wyn's not hiding - he's being held inside the game against his will. But who is holding him captive, and why?
Nixy and Wyn attempt to fight their way out of a mind game unlike any they've encountered, and the battle brings them closer than either could have imagined. But when the whole world is virtual, how can Nixy possibly know if her feelings are real?
Gamers and action fans of all types will dive straight into the MEEP, thanks to Julia Durango's cinematic storytelling. A touch of romance adds some heart to Nixy's vivid, multidimensional journey through Wyn's tricked-out virtual city, and constant twists keep readers flying through to the breathtaking end.
Why I can't wait
This book sounds so amazing. A virtual game world you can actually "live" in. I'm curious to find out how you can jump into it and drag people back. And of course I want to find out who is holding Wyn captive in the game his father created.
Release date: June 23rd 2015
