Waiting on Wednesday: Guardian by Alex London

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we discuss what books we can't wait for! My pick for today is:

 Guardian by Alex London (Proxy #2)
Publisher: Philomel 
Expected Publication Date: May 29, 2014

Synopsis from Goodreads: 

The pulse-pounding sequel to Proxy! Inspired by The Whipping Boy and Feed, this adrenaline-fueled thriller will appeal to fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.

In the new world led by the Rebooters, former Proxy Syd is the figurehead of the Revolution, beloved by some and hated by others. Liam, a seventeen-year-old Rebooter, is Syd’s bodyguard and must protect him with his life. But armed Machinists aren’t the only danger.

People are falling ill—their veins show through their skin, they find it hard to speak, and sores erupt all over their bodies. Guardians, the violent enforcers of the old system, are hit first, and the government does nothing to help. The old elites fall next, and in the face of an indifferent government, Syd decides it’s up to him to find a cure . . . and what he discovers leaves him stunned.

This heart-stopping thriller is packed with action, adventure, and heroics. Guardian will leave you breathless until the final page.


Why I'm Waiting: 

Update: I've just been informed that the synopsis is up so I included it above!
The synopsis for this one isn't even up on Goodreads yet, but I was too excited to wait. I read Proxy a few months ago and fell in love with it. The story was so interesting and really made you think. There was so much diversity in the book and the characters really made you fall in love with them. I can't wait to find out what's going to happen in this one! I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a unique dystopian. This is one of those books that should be taught in school. Yes, that's how good it is. 

Have you read Proxy yet? What did you think of the premise? What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
