27 Hours by Tristina Wright
Publication Date: October 3, 2017
Publisher: Entangled Teen
BLURB
Rumor Mora fears two things: hellhounds too
strong for him to kill, and failure. Jude Welton has two dreams: for humans to
stop killing monsters, and for his strange abilities to vanish.
But in no reality should a boy raised to
love monsters fall for a boy raised to kill them.
Nyx Llorca keeps two secrets: the moon
speaks to her, and she’s in love with Dahlia, her best friend. Braeden Tennant
wants two things: to get out from his mother's shadow, and to unlearn Epsilon's
darkest secret.
They’ll both have to commit treason to find
the truth.
During one twenty-seven-hour night, if they
can’t stop the war between the colonies and the monsters from becoming a war of
extinction, the things they wish for will never come true, and the things they
fear will be all that’s left.
27 Hours is a sweeping, thrilling
story featuring a stellar cast of queer teenagers battling to save their homes
and possibly every human on Sahara as the clock ticks down to zero.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from the publisher from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was one of the most unexpected surprises of 2017! I knew from the blurb that it was going to be a diverse book, but I never expected the whole spectrum of the LGTB+ themes to show! Add in the sci-fi genre, a picturesque planet which is far more dangerous than it shows and you have a thrilling adventure which takes place in the span of 27 hours.
Honestly, for a moment I was reminded of the show "24 Hours", which had a similar base; the story evolves through the span of these hours and the protagonists all face their troubles and fears.
I loved every character in the book, but mostly I loved Nyx and Jude. They were so empathetic, striving to express their emotions and fears. Not that the rest of the gang wasn't good but these two hit too close to my heart for me.
Did I also mention that the monsters of the planet are actually....gargoyles? YUP, you had me with the term gargoyles! Also, the book has action and you don't get bored through the course of the plot.
I really can't wait to see what will happen to the next book!
