I'm so sorry for being late again, but I can't help it. It's not that I'm looking for excuses, because I love doing this, I love book blogging, but the facts are that I'm fifteen, I have school, I have an exam period, I have extra-curricular activities and I'm revising for my first advanced language exam. I'm also commuting between parents and grandparents therefore I don't always have Internet access, either. (I'm gonna work for a tablet during the summer, though.) So please understand that I can't always be here and write a quality post, however, I rather post something worthwhile than something hasty, and faulty. I'm not going to give up though, I post as much as I can and also it's almost summer when I'll have as much time as I need. So please stay. :)Genre: Young Adult, Dystopia

Synopsis:
I am tired of being
used, hurt, and cast aside.
Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade
ago,
the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected
perished, while many of the children who survived were left with
strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes
went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left
eye
once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an
abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the
way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are
rumored
to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have
mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain
secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition
Axis, it is his
job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they
destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous
and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret
of all.
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This
secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the
Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they
discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is
the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in
unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal
battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities
that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her
heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
