Book Chick City: On My Wishlist #6

On My Wishlist #6

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 | Posted by Book Chick City |

On My Wishlist is a weekly meme hosted by me, which will be posted every Wednesday. It allows us to share the books we haven't bought yet but are waiting to be bought and devoured. If you are anything like me then your wishlist is getting longer by the day! If you would like to take part and have your own 'On My Wishlist' post then you can find more info here. (This post was inspired by the fab In My Mailbox by Kristi at The Story Siren).

This series sounds brilliant. I love strong female "kick-arse" protagonists but have only read them in Urban Fantasy, so I'm excited about Parrish Plessis and want to read all about her adventures in the Science Fiction genre. I want the first book in the series asap!

Summary (Goodreads)

In a world where the rich live behind the safety of a giant fortress wall and everyone else can go to hell, Parrish Plessis has learnt some useful survival tactics. Like don't cross Jamon Mondo - unless you want to be dead by the morning. But heck, what's a girl supposed to do when the one chance she may have of escaping from his grubby, stinking paws presents itself? Anyway, it's hard to be a saint in a city, and Parrish Plessis is sick of doing what she's told. Tonight, she's going to take her chance. Because she can't face tomorrow. NYLON ANGEL is the first Parrish Plessis novel. She will be back. When you've met her, you'll understand why.

This looks like another awesome series by Marianne de Pierres: Sentients of Orion. It sounds very different to the series above but just as good. I love the covers too.
