Blue Hearts of Mars (BOOK BLAST)
Blue Hearts of Mars by Nicole
Grotepas
Retta Heikkinen knows the unspoken rule of society: love
between androids and humans is forbidden. A simple enough edict until Hemingway
Koskinen spends an evening charming her with his intense gaze, bewitching
smile, and sparkling conversation that hints at so much more than the usual
obsessions of high school boys. Rules were meant to be cast aside, especially
when love beckons.
If only it were as simple as being in love.
Trouble is brewing, not just for Hemingway--for all
androids. Secrets have been kept, lies propagated, and Retta soon discovers
that a frightening future awaits thousands of androids if she doesn’t do
something to stop it. Worse yet, she will lose the one love she’s ever
endangered herself for: Hemingway.
Praise
"Nothing like I've read before. A true original story!
Everything is so well described. Now if they could make a follow up book and
movie, that would be great!" ~Mrs. Z (Amazon)
"I was addicted to this book from the beginning. Life
on Mars was very real and not at all a sci fi world I didn't understand . . . I
found myself rooting for Retta and Hemingway from the very beginning. Easy
reading, couldn't put it down and had it read in a weekend. Waiting for a
sequel!" ~TNielsen (Amazon)
"The ending of this book is exceptional. While it was
different from what I imagined, the way the author brought in a shocking
revelation was amazing. I probably reread the last chapter 3 times letting it
sink in and the meaning behind it. It was truly beautiful . . . I would love to
see more of Retta and Hemingway!" ~Kat Meyer, (Goodreads)
"I love how the author populated Mars . . . so
descriptive and comprehensive . . . I could clearly picture everything as if I
was seeing the movie &/or was along for the ride. . . . Retta, the main
character, is strong, opinionated, and a great champion for her cause."
~Megan (Amazon)
"I had been in the worst reading slump ever and came
across this on Goodreads and thought I'd give it a try. Well, I was pleasantly
surprised on how funny and exciting and mysterious it was . . . Mei, Retta's
bff, had me laughing out loud quite a bit as well as Retta herself. I'd
definitely hang out with those two." ~Deanneluvbooks (Goodreads)
