Today is release day for very many awesome books! Seriously, fall/autumn is full of awesome books all coming out at the same time, but one has a very special place in my geeky heart and it is Ultraviolet Catastrophe by Jamie Grey!
It is a Young Adult science fiction story, with plenty of geeky references and quite a lot of science thrown in there!
I was super excited when I got a chance to read an ARC of this book and totally loved it, so I decided to take part on the blog tour of this book to share it with as many people as possible! Here you can read my favourite quote of the book and my review.

About the Book:
Quantum Electrodynamics. String Theory. Schrödinger's cat.
For sixteen-year-old Lexie Kepler, they’re just confusing terms in her science
textbooks, until she finds out that her parents have been drugging her to
suppress her outrageous IQ. Now Branston Academy, a school run by the world’s
most powerful scientists, has tracked her down and is dying for her to attend -
as a research subject.
She takes refuge at Quantum Technologies, a secret scientific community where her father works as a top-notch scientist, and begins her new life as girl genius at Quantum High. But the assignments at her new school make the Manhattan Project look like preschool - and Lexie barely survived freshman algebra.
Her first big assignment – creating an Einstein-Rosen bridge – is also her first chance to prove she can hold her own with the rest of QT's prodigies. But while working with the infuriatingly hot Asher Rosen, QT’s teen wonder, Lexie uncovers a mistake in their master equation. Instead of a wormhole, the machine they’re building would produce deadly ultraviolet rays that could destroy the world. Now Lexie and Asher have to use their combined brainpower to uncover the truth behind the device. Before everyone at Quantum Technologies is caught in the ultraviolet catastrophe.

Jamie Grey spent most of her childhood writing stories about
princesses who saved the day and pretending to be a daring explorer. It wasn’t
until much later that she realized she should combine the two. Now, as a
tech-obsessed gamer geek, her novels mix amazing scientific developments,
future worlds, and the remarkable characters that live in them.

Sounds like a very interesting topic for a book, why would her parents suppress her IQ though?! I guess I should read it to find out :) You always have fun suggestions!

DeleteI think this will find its place in my geeky heart as well. Good YA sci-fi is so hard to find, and this sounds excellent and fairly original. I can't wait to read it. It helps that the cover is gorgeous. :)
