This week, I absolutely can't wait for...
Dualed by Elsie Chapman
February 26th, 2013
Would you live through the ultimate test of survival?
The city of Kersh is a safe haven, but the price of safety is high. Everyone has a genetic Alternate—a twin raised by another family—and citizens must prove their worth by eliminating their Alts before their twentieth birthday. Survival means advanced schooling, a good job, marriage—life.
Even though the release is practically a year away, Dualed totally sounds like one that's worth waiting for! I love any dystopian novel, no matter how similar or different they may be, and this one definitely sounds different from the other ones that I've read :DFifteen-year-old West Grayer has trained as a fighter, preparing for the day when her assignment arrives and she will have one month to hunt down and kill her Alt. But then a tragic misstep shakes West’s confidence. Stricken with grief and guilt, she’s no longer certain that she’s the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future. If she is to have any chance of winning, she must stop running not only from her Alt, but also from love . . . though both have the power to destroy her.

Awesome pick. I really want to read this one too. I honestly haven't read too many dystopian novels yet, but a few are on my TBR list for sure.

Elsie Chapman's suspenseful YA debut weaves unexpected romance into a novel full of fast-paced action and thought-provoking philosophy. When the story ends, discussions will begin about this future society where every adult is a murderer and every child knows there is another out there who just might be better.
