āļøĀ Hi guys I hope youāre having an amazing day!. Today I decided to bring you something different, a while ago since I donāt show you the advanced reader copies that so kindly publishers and authors give me to review, the last time I showed you my ARCs was in July so I already felt it was time to make another post like this, so that we share our thoughts about itĀ and and I don’t do this kind of post more often because I honestly havenāt been requesting so often, since due to the new laws that some pages have imposed itās now really difficult for an international blogger like me to be approved with an ARC. Even so, sometimes miracles happen lol, and now that I have accumulated a decent amount of books to show you, Iāve decided to do it. Maybe itās not a post that Iāll start doing often cause of everything I told you before, but even so Iāll try to do it every time I want to share with you some ARCs that I receive.
Here below Iāll specify where each copy is from, but most will always be from pages as NetGalley and Edelweiss, and sometimes from authors as wellāļø
I hope you enjoy it!š

Expected publication: January 15th 2019 by Harper Voyager
In a near future society in which morality is manifested through beauty and ugliness, a young woman will imperil her future and her world to expose the global shadow network that uses its power to play God and control humanity.
A decade ago, Grace Lutherās life was changed by the Revelations: the moment when Great Spirit āsavedā humanity and transformed the world into a place where pious behavior is rewarded with beauty, and wrongdoing results in ugliness and even death.
Now, at eighteen, Grace knows that everything she believed about the Revelations is a lieāa myth constructed by the government of the Prophets to force its citizens into model behavior . . . and one that led to her motherās death. She is determined to expose the deception and bring down the Prophets, even if it means aligning herself with the resistance, a group she doesnāt entirely trust.
After insinuating herself into Prophet Joshuaās inner circle, the double agent gets ever closer to fulfilling her mission to destroy his mind-influencing nanotechnology. But a shocking discovery has her questioning her path, and sends her hunting for answers about her past.
Grace isnāt alone on this odyssey. Zack, the secretive government agent who is sometimes an enemy and sometimes a friend has been shadowing her every move. Is he protecting herāor hunting her? And Jude, her first love, has returned from hiding to aid herāa task complicated by their history.
In a dangerous world filled with lies and betrayals, Grace canāt trust anyone. And the choices she makes will either save her friends, the resistance, and the hope of attaining free willāor secure the Prophetsā power and ultimate control.
I actually havenāt heard of most of these but that makes them more exciting! Love this post idea btw ā„ļø
