Astral Tide (Otherborn #2)
Author: Anna Silver
Genre: YA Science Fiction/Dystopian
Release Date: February 28, 2014
Format: Paperback/ebook
Description:
London and her friends
are fugitives in a reprocessed world where anything New is illegal. But
as Otherborn, they’re different. They can dream and create, which hasn’t
gone unnoticed. After fleeing Capital City with an assassin on their
heels, the Otherborn found nothing went according to plan. Now, they are
down by two and on the run in the Outroads, but the Tycoons keep
mysteriously gaining on them. And seven months later, London is no
closer to her promise to go back for Rye, if there is anything left to
go back for. But Zen is teaching London that there may be more to her
heart than the pieces she left behind, and London can’t help but feel
guilty about not looking back since they fled New Eden. Should she hold
on to hope that Rye is more than just a memory, or embrace a new life
and love with Zen?
In their race to outrun their enemies, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: they can only run for so long. Eventually, they’ll have to face what waits when the road runs out. Eventually, their fates will catch up to them.

Praise:
“That’s kinda starting to hurt,” he said in response to her raptor-grip.
“Sorry.” London eased up. “I just can’t see squat in this piss-water. It makes me nervous.”
“Are you shuffling your feet like I told you?” he asked her.
“Yes, but I don’t see how that’s supposed to help. I don’t think the gator’s gonna care one way or another if I step on it or bump into it.”
Zen chuckled. “The water’s not even up to your waist. Would you relax?”
“I’m plenty re—” London screamed, frantically clawing her way up Zen’s back until her arms circled his head and her legs were wrapped around his chest. “What was that? What was that?”
“Dammit, London! I can’t see.” Zen shoved at her arms until he’d uncovered his eyes.
“Something touched my leg! SOMETHING. TOUCHED. MY. LEG.”
Zen started laughing. “It was probably just a turtle. I’m sure whatever it was, you scared the bejesus out of it by now.”
London did not find this amusing. “Just get me out of this water,” she begged.
Fortunately, they were nearing a palm covered embankment. Zen hoisted her up the slope and dropped her unceremoniously on her butt.
“You’re hopeless,” he told her.
“Screw you. Besides who says something like ‘bejesus’ anyway? What does that even mean?” London wrinkled her nose and fisted her hands.
Zen shrugged. “I don’t know. Maggs says it all the time.”
“Can we please leave your conquests back in Bayou Camp Four where they belong? I really don’t want any reminders of the trail of broken hearts we’re leaving in our wake, thanks to you.” London hopped up and punched him in the arm.
“Yeah, sorry,” Zen said. He looked at her sideways, like he was studying a lab experiment.
“What?” she said.
“How do you do it?” he asked her, his jolly expression gone. “How do you just forget?”
London sighed and wrung out her sleeves. The swamp water had washed out a lot of Clark’s blood, but a faded, dirty red ring remained. “I haven’t forgotten. I couldn’t forget Rye even if I wanted to.”
