"I don't suppose you're going to apologize to me?"

"No,"

"Right. I was sleeping, you know? [----] woke me up to tell me that you'd disappeared."

"I didn't disappear, I walked out. And…"

Tuesday’s Treats is a weekly blog post dedicated to newly released books that I’m most excited for. (Books are in no particular order.)

All books featured this week will be released: JULY 24th

1. Contagion (Contagion: 1): Erin Bowman (goodreads) (book depository)

A skeleton crew has been sent out into deep space on a standard search-and-rescue mission after receiving a distress call from a drill team. Once they arrive, all they find are remains: remains of the project…and of the miners. As the team digs to find answers, they find that most secrets (and monsters) should usually stay buried.

I’m not usually one for horror, but horror in space is something I can’t resist.

YA Science Fiction, Horror; HarperTeen/HarperCollins, Hardcover (US)

2. Sanctuary (Sanctuary: 1): Caryn Lix (goodreads) (book depository)

Kenzie has trained for her entire life to become an elite guard on Sanctuary, Omnistellar Concepts’ space prison for superpowered teens. But when a drill goes wrong, Kenzie finds herself a hostage of the prisoners. At first, she’s positive that her commanding officer (also known as her mother) will get her out…but she never comes. Determined to save herself, Kenzie forms a plan for her own escape. But a new, different, and more dangerous threat arrives, and Kenzie must team up with her captors to survive.

"Look, if you want to be a jerk, go ahead. But it's not going to get you out of here any faster. …We're stuck in here together. Why make things harder than they have to be?"

"Now I know you're in shock. You didn't put up a fight just now."

"I don't really like getting help, it's a personality flaw of mine."

"Yes. Along with stubbornness, and a poor temper."

"Sorry, we'd better get moving."

"[----], wait."

"It's fine. We won't even mention it. Let's just…"

"[----], wait. I didn't mean… Look, I'd have to be stupid not to be attracted to you. You get that, right?"

"Right, because that's how boys usually respond to girls they're attracted to."

"It is if they're not sure the girl's really into them."

"[----], I kissed you. That's a pretty clear indication where I come from. Not sure how it works in prison. Should I have punched you in the face or something?"

"This is the worst idea in a series of bad ideas. Starting with this entire escape plan,"

"Hey, my escape plan didn't invite aliens onto the station."
