Title: The Farm
Author: Emily McKay
Expected Publication Date: December 4, 2012


From Goodreads:


Life was different in the Before: before the Ticks began devouring humans in a deadly swarm across America; before the surviving young people were rounded up and quarantined “for their own protection.” These days, we know what those quarantines are—holding pens where human blood is turned into more food for the Ticks. Surrounded by electrical fences, most kids try to survive the Farms by turning on each other…

And when trust is a thing of the past, escape is nearly impossible.

Lily and her twin sister Mel have a plan. Though Mel can barely communicate, her autism helps her notice things no one else notices—like the portion of electrical fence that gets turned off every night. Getting across won’t be easy, but as Lily gathers what they need to escape, a familiar face appears out of nowhere, offering to help…

Carter was a schoolmate of Lily’s in the Before. Managing to evade capture until now, he has valuable knowledge of the outside world. But like everyone on the Farm, Carter has his own agenda, and he knows that behind the Ticks is an even more dangerous threat to the human race...

I know that I'm going to regret reading this due to nightmares (I hate bugs!), but I just can't help myself. It sounds absolutely AWESOME! I'm on a desperate search for the always elusive ARC. I hope to find one, I don't think I can make it until December...

What are you desperately waiting on this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll check it out!
