Mogsy’s Pick:
Echo 8 by Sharon Lynn Fisher: February 3, 2015 (Tor)
Well, it is Sci-Fi November, after all. I still regret missing out on Sharon Lynn Fisher’s The Ophelia Prophecy earlier this year, because I’ve heard some great things about it. Of course I’ve put the book on my list now and hoping to read it this month, and so I was also immediately interested when I found out she will have another sci-fi romance out early next year. Looks like Echo 8 is a separate stand alone too, so this time I probably won’t hesitate to jump on an ARC if the opportunity arises.
“As a parapsychologist working for Seattle Psi, Tess has devoted her life to studying psychic phenomena. But when doppelgangers begin appearing from a parallel world that’s been struck by an asteroid, nothing in her training will help her survive what’s to come.
After dislocating to Seattle Psi from the other Earth, Jake is confined by a special task force for study. But when he drains life energy from Tess, almost killing her, it causes a ripple effect across two worlds — and creates a bond neither of them expected.
Ross is an FBI agent ordered to protect Tess while she studies Jake. His assignment is not random — he and Tess have a history, and a connection the Bureau hopes to use to its own advantage. By the time Ross realizes his mission could be compromised, it’s already too late — he’ll have to choose between his love for Tess and his duty to protect the people of his own Earth.”

I like the idea of this premise, I’m only worried about the three points of view, this isn’t young adult so they wouldn’t do a love triangle, right? The Ophelia Prophecy looks really good! I wish the female main character was the alien, but it sounds really promising.

I thought that too, but then I don’t read adult romances enough, apparently love triangles are more common than we think 🙂

Ah, I had a feeling it would be one of your picks for this month, since you said you were keeping all your WoWs sci-fi themed and I know you loved Fisher’s book Ophelia’s Prophecy 🙂

Gotta love sci-fi right? Just what The Doctor ordered ;-D I’m always up for stories with parallel Earths, ESPECIALLY when the other Earth was hit by an asteroid O.O Doppelgangers?! Yes please! My only worry is that it turns into a love-triangle but if it’s well done, who cares! Thanks for bringing this one to my attention Mogsy ^^ Awesome pick!! x

Oh I’m nervous about love triangles as well, but most adult books I’ve seen them in have done them well, so crossing my fingers 🙂

Sci-fi romance? Now that sounds like something I could get behind. Although I am admittedly a bit torn about what sounds like a pretty prominent love triangle…eh, who am I kidding? I’d still read and enjoy it! 😉

I’m actually a big fan of romance in my sci-fi, so this is pretty exciting 🙂

I don’t read much Sci-Fi, but like that your dedicating your WoW posts to it for this month because I definitely do like many that I read. This one definitely sounds like a possibility.

This sounds good. I hope it’s not a love triangle though. I hadn’t heard of this before, but I’m putting it on my list.
