Sanctum by Sarah Fine
Publisher: Amazon Children's Publishing
Publication Date: October 16th, 2012
"My plan: Get into the city. Get Nadia. Find a way out. Simple."
A week ago, seventeen-year-old Lela Santos's best friend, Nadia, killed herself. Today, thanks to a farewell ritual gone awry, Lela is standing in paradise, looking upon a vast gated city in the distance – hell. No one willingly walks through the Suicide Gates, into a place smothered in darkness and infested with depraved creatures. But Lela isn't just anyone – she's determined to save her best friend's soul, even if it means sacrificing her eternal afterlife.
As Lela struggles to find Nadia, she's captured by the Guards, enormous, not-quite-human creatures that patrol the dark city's endless streets. Their all-too-human leader, Malachi, is unlike them in every way except one: his deadly efficiency. When he meets Lela, Malachi forms his own plan: get her out of the city, even if it means she must leave Nadia behind. Malachi knows something Lela doesn't – the dark city isn't the worst place Lela could end up, and he will stop at nothing to keep her from that fate.

Why oh why?
Ever since I read my friend Alexa's brilliant review on Sanctum last Wednesday, I have been looking forward to this book. You can find Alexa's review here!
I love original books that surround mysterious and exciting settings. This book sounds like it has all that I would enthusiastically enjoy in a book. I hope I find it is about sacrifice and the importance of real friendship like Alexa did when she read it. So excited to read this book!
Thanks for reading!
What are you waiting on?
You're so right this book does sound mysteriously good, as it doesn't give much away about what Malachi is hiding either! Great pick Rachel! :)
