SALEM, MASSACHUSETTES 1692 



She was taken from him in the cruelest way... condemned, sentenced and punished out of fear of the unknown. How is he supposed to live without her? How can he go on knowing that in this life, they will never be one again? There's only one thing to do... only one option that will bring them together again. 



SALEM , MASSACHUSETTES TODAY 


Leah is taken on a weekend excursion with her best girlfriends to let loose, relax and have a little fun. (...) [But] something seems familiar about the town. The trees, the winds, the feel of everything.  (…) When she meets a handsome stranger who's eager to know her in a way no one else can, she begins to think there just may be something more to this place, something more to him. 

Will has been waiting, biding his time, and praying that she'll come back. He's broken the natural order of things to possibly find her again, weaving their way through the years until they can be together again. He knows he may never find her, but he can't risk not trying. This place calls to her, just as it did to him. It will bring her back home. It will bring her back to him.

Some scenes contain sexual contents that may offend the sensibilities of readers.

Plot:

Okay, so this is how our story begins: you have a twenty-three year-old woman who has been having nightmares since the day she was born. Her parents brought her to specialists, psychologists… No one ever knew what was going on. So it remained her family secret. She never went to sleepovers and she never let herself date boys (imagine the situation: being awaken every night by your girlfriend who has nightmares… You may valuate more your sleep than your girlfriend). Anyway, her two best friends – who are the only ones to know about her nightmares – decide to take her in a road trip in Salem. Their first night out, they meet Will, a beautiful hot guy! Leah and Will obviously feel an attraction between the two of them and they decide to see each other again the next day.

Also, Nina and Courtney – Leah’s best friends – convinced Leah to go see a psychic with them. And nothing happens as it should have happened. After all, what could happen, right?

Delirium - Delirium #1 - Lauren Oliver

Sum Up: (Goodreads)

Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't. 


I discovered Lauren Oliver with the Delirium saga and since then, I have been in love with all her books.

Plot:

What is Delirium about? It deals with a world that looks like ours but is completely different. Love is considered as the worst scourge ever. Since she was child, she was brainwashed and with the mother’s suicide when she was younger because she couldn’t go over the loss of Lena’s father, she shared the same belief as her society. She is eager to finally undergo this surgery that is completed on eighteen year-old teenagers to remove the love gene called “deliria”.
Scared of becoming her mother, Lena lives for rules. On the other hand, her best friend Hana lives on the borders of legality. She is the funny and outgoing character. She pushes Lena to follow her and stop living only for rules.
Because of her she is about to meet Alex. And after this, nothing will ever be the same.

“Everyone is asleep. They’ve been asleep for years. You seemed… awake.” Alex is whispering now. He closes his eyes, opens them again. “I’m tired of sleeping.”
