This is the first post in a new feature I’m calling “Author Spotlight on…” Many times I find favorite authors who have written multiple books I love and recommend all the time, and I want to feature those authors with all of their titles so you know about them and what books to look for, especially if it’s an author you might not be familiar with. Rather than focusing on just one book, this will focus on the author’s body of work.
CAT PATRICK
What do I love about Cat?
I asked Cat the same question I’ll ask each Spotlight author:
What do you hope readers take away from your books?
I’d love to hear what you think!
Each night at precisely
4:33 am, while sixteen-year-old London Lane is asleep, her memory of
that day is erased. In the morning, all she can “remember” are events
from her future. London is used to relying on reminder notes and a
trusted friend to get through the day, but things get complicated when a
new boy at school enters the picture. Luke Henry is not someone you’d
easily forget, yet try as she might, London can’t find him in her
memories of things to come.When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash-forwards, as the case may be, she realizes it’s time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.
It started with a bus crash.
Daisy
Appleby was a little girl when it happened, and she barely remembers
the accident or being brought back to life. At that moment, though, she
became one of the first subjects in a covert government program that
tests a drug called Revive.
Now fifteen, Daisy has died and been
Revived five times. Each death means a new name, a new city, a new
identity. The only constant in Daisy’s life is constant change.
Then
Daisy meets Matt and Audrey McKean, charismatic siblings who quickly
become her first real friends. But if she’s ever to have a normal life,
Daisy must escape from an experiment that’s much larger–and more
sinister–than she ever imagined.
From its striking first chapter to its emotionally charged ending, Cat Patrick’s Revived is a riveting story about what happens when life and death collide.
A riveting new story from Cat Patrick, author of Forgotten and Revived.17-year-olds
Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey Best grew up as identical triplets… until
they discovered a shocking family secret. They’re actually closer than
sisters, they’re clones. Hiding from a government agency that would
expose them, the Best family appears to consist of a single mother with
one daughter named Elizabeth. Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey take turns going
to school, attending social engagements, and a group mindset has always
been a de facto part of life…Then Lizzie meets Sean Kelly, a
guy who seems to see into her very soul. As their relationship develops,
Lizzie realizes that she’s not a carbon copy of her sisters; she’s an
individual with unique dreams and desires, and digging deeper into her
background, Lizzie begins to dismantle the delicate balance of an
unusual family that only science could have created.
Caroline is at a
crossroads. Her grandmother is sick, maybe dying. Like the rest of her
family, Caroline’s been at Gram’s bedside since her stroke. With the
pressure building, all Caroline wants to do is escape–both her family
and the reality of Gram’s failing health. So when Caroline’s best friend
offers to take her to a party one fateful Friday night, she must
choose: stay by Gram’s side, or go to the party and live her life.The consequence of this one decision will split Caroline’s fate into two separate paths–and she’s about to live them both.
Friendships
are tested and family drama hits an all-new high as Caroline attempts
to rebuild old relationships, and even make a few new ones. If she
stays, her longtime crush, Joel, might finally notice her, but if she
goes, Chris, the charming college boy, might prove to be everything
she’s ever wanted.Though there are two distinct ways for her fate to unfold, there is only one happy ending…
I finished reading Just Like Fate this weekend and really enjoyed the concept. I'm also curious to check out The Originals.
