When I was asked to set up a giveaway in support of In the Afterlight‘s release, I automatically agreed asap, even though I haven’t read the books yet. Why? Well, I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about the series and have always wanted to read it, because hello, who wouldn’t be interested in reading books about kids with psi powers? Make sure you enter the giveaway at the end of the post to win the series with other great goodies, courtesy of Disney-Hyperion.
The Darkest Minds
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Series: The Darkest Minds #1
Summary:
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.
When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her — East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.
When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.
When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children — and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts — has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one place: a flashdrive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future — and who now wouldn’t recognize her.
As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam — and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart — she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?
In the Afterlight
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Series: The Darkest Minds #3
Release Date: October 28, 2014
Summary:
When the Children’s League disbands, Ruby rises up as a leader and forms an unlikely allegiance with Liam’s brother, Cole, who has a volatile secret of his own. There are still thousands of other Psi kids suffering in government “rehabilitation camps” all over the country. Freeing them – revealing the governments unspeakable abuses in the process – is the mission Ruby has claimed since her own escape from Thurmond, the worst camp in the country.
But not everyone is supportive of the plan Ruby and Cole craft to free the camps. As tensions rise, competing ideals threaten the mission to uncover the cause of IANN, the disease that killed most of America’s children and left Ruby and others with powers the government will kill to keep contained. With the fate of a generation in their hands, there is no room for error. One wrong move could be the spark that sets the world on fire.
Did you also know that there’s also a new eBook novella called Sparks Rise (aka why it’s part of this post’s title), connecting the last two novels in the series and featuring a bonus preview chapter from In the Afterlight. For more details, check out the space below.

Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I just read Sparks Rise last night and finished at 2 am and spent another hour crying my eyes out. Cannot wait for ITA! Reading the sneak peak in the back of Sparks Rise, it reminded me of why I love this series and how excited I am to hold ITA in my hands.
I’ve yet to read The Darkest minds either. But have been wanting to for a little while.. For me it’s all about being able to find the book in a local area. which I haven’t been able to do. Cute giveaway! :)
