Unremembered (Unremembered, #1) by Jessica Brody

When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe.

Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.

Crippled by a world she doesn’t know, plagued by abilities she doesn’t understand, and haunted by a looming threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her forgotten past and discover who she really is. But with every clue only comes more questions. And she’s running out of time to answer them.

Her only hope is a strangely alluring boy who claims to know her from before the crash. Who claims they were in love. But can she really trust him? And will he be able to protect her from the people who have been making her forget?

From popular young adult author Jessica Brody comes a compelling and suspenseful new sci-fi series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten.

Unforgotten (Unremembered, #2) by Jessica Brody

 Some memories are better left forgotten...

After a daring escape from the scientists at Diotech who created her, Seraphina believes she is finally safe from the horrors of her past. But new threats await Sera and her boyfriend, Zen, at every turn as Zen falls prey to a mysterious illness and Sera’s extraordinary abilities make it more and more difficult to stay hidden. Meanwhile, Diotech has developed a dangerous new weapon designed to apprehend her. A weapon that even Sera will be powerless to stop. Her only hope of saving Zen’s life and defeating the company that made her is a secret buried deep within her mind. A secret that Diotech will kill to protect. And it won’t stay forgotten for long.

Packed with mystery, suspense, and romance, this riveting second installment of Jessica Brody’s Unremembered trilogy delivers more heart-pounding action as loyalties are tested, love becomes a weapon, and no one’s memories are safe.

  1. I like signed copies of books but I like unsigned copies too. Honestly, it's not a matter of what I like more because it comes down to the fact that they are both books and I love books - signed or not. Signed books are a little bit more special since the author touched it (like omgomgomg - and I adore authors xD).

    and yay for hardback copies!! :D

  2. Signed copies are held by the author that created the story, so it means more to own them. Also, the dedication/ signature/ name gives more sentimental value to it.

  3. I like signed copies of these books. Since I live across the globe and the chances of meeting them in person are at the size of a cell, I am glad for the chance to see the books in hand or participate in giveaways!
    Thank you very much! :)

  4. I like signed copies of books, but it isn't that big of a deal for me. I do like it when an author does something special, like Maggie Stiefvater, who will draw a wolf in your book of you make her something.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I like both but I do put my signed copies in a special place of honor on the shelf :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. I do like signed copies more because they feel more special! I don't own many though, since there's not that many book signings in my city :(
    Thanks for the giveaways and congratulations! :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I've never actually received a signed copy but I think I would definitely like signed copies :) Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  8. For reading, I prefer either. But when it comes to my personal library, signed copies are precious jewels to me, since I live in India where mostly YA authors don't make an appearance. There is no way to meet them but having a book signed by them would be satisfactory enough.

  9. I collect the signed copies. I mostly read ebooks.

  10. I am entering your giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I get a kick out of autographed books, but at the end of the day, I'm just happy to have something to read!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Signed books are special to me C:
    I love seeing them on my shelf and telling people how an author took time out of her day to sign and ship a book to me/ won a signed book from a blogger!
    In the small town I live in it's really hard to get books signed so when I show people that mine are it's like the apocalypse started C: It's such a great feeling!

    ReplyDelete
  15. It doesn't really matter to me one way or another if the book is signed or not signed.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  21. I love a signed copy, but it is not the sign what makes that book special, it is de dedication and time that the author invested in that signing, even if it is only a doodle.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love signed copies because the book just feels all the more special to me if the author signs it personally :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Of course I like signed copies better! They feel more personal and special.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Signed books tend to find their way onto my keeper shelf more than unsigned.

    ReplyDelete
  25. They feel more special and personal :) the author themselves have handled the book

    ReplyDelete
  26. I can't say I prefer signed over non but they add an extra special touch. I cherish each and every one of my signed books that I am lucky enough to have in my possession! But I also love having a paperback copy of books I love even if I just buy them from Amazon or BAM or Target or whatever. Or sometimes their is a book with an amazing cover that I just have to have on my shelf.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Although I love winning a physical copy of a book as opposed to an ebook, I do rather like signed copies. I don't know that I can say I like them more, rather I like them in a different way. And especially when they are personalized. It makes them more special to me that an author took the time to do that for me. I remember one time I won a giveaway for a signed book and a vinyl promo poster with the book cover design on it. When the author contacted me she asked if I would like her to sign the poster as well because, after all, it was mine now and if I wanted it signed too, she was glad to do it. I thought that was amazing. So yeah, I asked her to sign it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love signed books because they feel precious than not signed. A person can show off that he owns a signed copy of the book. :D

    ReplyDelete
  29. I really treasure my sign copies.
    One reason is that they are hard to get, with me living in a small foreign country. Also, the ones I have came directly from the authors, some that I really appreciate. It feels good to know that they had that book in their hands and they are handing it to me ;)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just met Jessica! She is so sweet, and really intelligent too! I got a signed copy of this book, and her sequel, and can't wait to read them both!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. In all honesty it doesn't matter. To me personally, their finished book is enough of a "signature". It's their hard work and dedication.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm fine with both, it's just that signed copies feel more special to me. And the ones with a dedication? Yes. Those are the kind I'd keep as long as I can.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thank you for the chance. I love both, but signed copies have a very special place on my bookshelf!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love signed. They somehow mean more than a normal book to me. It`s like meeting the author too. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I like signed copies because they feel more special to me, more personal

  37. These books look great. I love signed copies not just for myself, but for my students. They know signed copies are something special.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Of course! It's always great to have a signed copy-- makes the book even more special than it already is :-)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Not really, but it would make owning the book more awesome if they were signed!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like winning signed copies because I can proudly place them on my shelf and feel lucky among my friends as I have a signed copy. Most of these authors never visit England, the only way I can get my hands on a signed copy is through these awesome giveaways

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm okay with both, although signed copies are the ones I treasure most.

    ReplyDelete
  42. It doesn't matter to me, actually. As long as I get a physical copy of a book I like, I'm good. Thought it would be totally awesome to have signed books, especially from international authors :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yes, I prefer them signed, those are my babies :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have a small collection of signed books and love them! They are special to me. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love signed copies especially if it's personalized, because they are more special.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I prefer signed copies because the being personalized to me. Plus, I love checking out the authors signatures! Some just have the prettiest handwriting! haha :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. i love signed copies its looks and feels really special to me :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Do you like signed copies of books more than not signed? Why?

    I liked signed copies cause they seem more special..

    ReplyDelete
  55. It depends on the book. If it is a book I want to add to my library, I enjoy the personalization of a signed book. Otherwise, If it is signed to me and I want to give it away it makes it awkward to do.

    ReplyDelete
  56. They are awesome! Feel like I'm getting more from the author that way lol

    ReplyDelete
  57. It depends. I liked signed copies but I have to be more careful when reading them. I would hate for it to get beat up.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I like to have signed copies, but I would rather read an unsigned copy so that I don't get smudges or anything on it.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I don't really prefer one over the other, though I love having signed copies because it makes the book more special to me.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I like signed books. I love owning any actual books, but money-wise and space-wise, I can't have as many as I'd like. So I limit books to favorite authors and signed copies and e-read everything else.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think both versions are great! If i know and love a particular author I prefer signed copies, but if not then i prefer that i receive a book unopened. Signed copies tend to have bent covers so I would almost rather an unsigned copy. Different with hardcovers though. Then it makes no difference to me.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I absolutely adore signed copies!!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Signed copies FTW!!! I have bragging rights and it makes me feel very special!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Signed copies! Makes me feel closer to the author.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I love a signed copy, it makes the book very special. But it also usually makes me not want to read them and keep them neat...

    ReplyDelete
  66. I like signed copies and especially when you can get them to do something special like a quote or just something extra! It just makes it mine and personal!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I love signed copies! It feels like the author dedicated the book to you somehow! :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. I love signed copies! It feels like the author dedicated the book to you somehow! :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. Just to have a copy of the book is good enough, but when it's signed my fangirl mode kicks on and I'm like, omg, I'm touching something the author touched. sparks fly XD

    ReplyDelete
  70. I love ALL the books!!! :) But signed do have a special place 'cause I live ouside US and none of the authors I love ever come here.
    Thanks for a giveaway! :)

    ReplyDelete
  71. yes! because when I love an author it makes me happy that he/she dedicated it to me

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm good with just having a copy of the book, but having it signed does make it better and more special!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I do an I don't. When ever I have a signed book a lot of people want to see (I bring a book with me everyday to school) and it gets all dirty and bent

    ReplyDelete
  74. Signed copies of books feel so special! I definitely love owning them:)

    ReplyDelete
  75. I like signed books, of course, but I wouldn't say I like unsigned books less. I like the fact that a book is signed, but it doesn't change my opinion of the book itself :)
