The Pledge
Author: Kimberly Derting
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry
Release Date: 15th November 2011
AMAZON: The Pledge
Synopsis (Goodreads)
Words are the most dangerous weapon of all...
In the violent country of Ludania, the classes are strictly divided by the language they speak. The smallest transgression, like looking a member of a higher class in the eye while they are speaking their native tongue, results in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina has always been able to understand the languages of all classes, and she’s spent her life trying to hide her secret. The only place she can really be free is the drug-fueled underground clubs where people go to shake off the oppressive rules of the world they live in. It's there that she meets a beautiful and mysterious boy named Max who speaks a language she's never heard before . . . and her secret is almost exposed.
Charlie is intensely attracted to Max, even though she can’t be sure where his real loyalties lie. As the emergency drills give way to real crisis and the violence escalates, it becomes clear that Charlie is the key to something much bigger: her country’s only chance for freedom from the terrible power of a deadly regime.

I am so excited for this book! I have yet to read the Body Finder series but it was on my reading list for the summer. Thanks for stopping by and I'm a new follower of your super cute blog!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good, and I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier :)
I'm waiting on this one, too, even though I could handle a break from YA Dystopians. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the Nina Bruhns book. I've seen it around, but I haven't read anything by her and I'm always looking for new authors. It's Romantic Suspense, yes?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this one, sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, the cover is so pretty. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of what my Spanish teacher said "languages is a powerful tool".
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm excited for this one, too. It sounds so good! Great pick! :)
ReplyDeleteI really want this as well! I still need to read her other books though, so I can do that while I wait for this one. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks good!!!! Beautiful cover by the way. Thanks for stopping by our blog.
ReplyDeleteThe Pledge was a part of my WOW last week! This book i am waiting eagerly for!
