It’s a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.

Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner are longtime friends and sometime flatmates who have traveled the world (but not yet the galaxy), covering every continent between them. They are sure outer space is only a matter of time. Meagan, who is also the author of the Skylark trilogy, currently lives in Asheville, NC, while Amie lives in Melbourne, Australia. Although they currently live apart, they are united by their love of space opera, road trips, and second breakfasts. Visit the These Broken Stars website for the latest news on the series and follow the authors on Twitter at @AmieKaufman and @MeaganSpooner. You may also sign up for their newsletter as well! These Broken Stars will be available in North America on December 10, 2013.

    Oh wow this is a pretty mild week. But These Broken Stars has been getting fantastic reviews recently so I bet everyone will be really excited for this one to release. 🙂 And I had no idea that Andrea was adding another book to the Nightshade series. Maybe I should start paying more attention lol

    Thanks for sharing, Giselle! <3

    Snakeroot yes. Because even though the ending of the Nightshade trilogy was such a disappointment, I love the 4 main characters in this story–they’re all my favorites so why the hell not read about them. Plus, this cover? Gorgeous 🙂 Ha, it’s such a short meme this week, indeed.

  4. Audris @ YA Bookmark

    Such a short week for releases! I’m excite for These Broken Stars since I’ve heard good things so far and I just bought the first book in Nightshade trilogy yesterday so I can’t wait to start that.

    It could be the longest list ever and I would only care about These Broken Stars!! I think it can be considered my most anticipated book of the year!! I’m dying for my preorder to get home!

  9. Kelsey

    That is a small week for books! Not a bad thing though, I can’t buy any right now and there’s nothing there I need to have.
    I’m hoping for Christmas that I get Chapters gift cards so I can go pre-order a bunch of books 🙂

    Just purchased These Broken Stars this morning. But I’m eyeing up that cover for Falling. Whoa.

    That’s how I discovered Kelley Armstrong, the cover for Men of the Otherworld looked similar.
