Book of the Week: Unremembered by Jessica Brody

One of the authors I was privileged to meet at WonderCon was Jessica Brody,  author of several young adult novels, the most recent of which is Unremembered.

I stayed up late Tuesday night, finishing the book and here it is for you all, my review of the first installment in the Unremembered Trilogy:

More people are coming to WhatANerdGirlSays than before.
