Welcome to this week’s edition of Wishlist Wednesday! Today I am featuring The Echo Room by Parker Peevyhouse. This book sounds like a really unique sci-fi novel that will keep you guessing.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about and have yet to read. It is a spin-off of the original meme, Waiting on Wednesday that was formerly hosted by Breaking the Spine.
THIS WEEK’S BOOK:
Title: The Echo RoomAuthor: Parker Peevyhouse
Publisher: Tor Teen
Publication Date: September 11, 2018
A smart, claustrophobic thriller where two teens escape a strange prison only to discover they weren't locked in, but were locking someone—or something—out
Rett wakes on the floor of a cold, dark room. He doesn’t know how he got there, only that he’s locked in. He’s not alone—a girl named Bryn is trapped in the room with him. When she finds a mysterious bloodstain and decides she doesn’t trust Rett, he tries to escape on his own—Rett wakes on the floor of the same cold, dark room. He doesn’t trust Bryn, but he’ll have to work with her if he ever hopes to escape. They try to break out of the room—
Rett and Bryn hide in a cold, dark room. Safe from what’s outside.
But they’re not alone.
“The Maze Runner meets Memento” (Jeanne Ryan) in The Echo Room, a suspenseful, high-concept first novel with an immersive psychological mystery that follows Rett and Bryn, who are stuck in a time loop and forced to work together until they manage to escape a prison of their own making.
THOUGHTS
I really enjoyed Parker Peevyhouse’s other novel, Where Future’s End. Books that have lots of suspense and have the reader trying to figure out what will happen next are my favourite kinds. The time-loop aspect is also interesting, and I look forward to finding out how it works for this one.
About Parker Peevyhouse
Parker Peevyhouse is likely trying to solve a puzzle at this very moment, probably while enjoying In-N-Out fries, admiring redwood trees, and quoting movies about sentient robots. Parker's critically acclaimed collection of novellas for young adults, WHERE FUTURES END, was named a best book for teens by the New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, and Bank Street. The Horn Book called it “a smart science-fiction puzzle.” Parker lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works at Hicklebee’s Children’s Bookstore. Her YA science fiction thriller, THE ECHO ROOM, is forthcoming from Tor Teen.

This is the first I have heard of this, but it sounds quite interesting. I DNFed The Maze Runner, but I have an appreciation for Momento.

I haven’t tried Memento. I wonder how closely related it is to those books, because I am not sure I am seeing too much Maze Runner in the synopsis. We shall see! 😉
Say what now? Well, I say YES PLEASE, but also… Say what, now?
Hahahaha! Perfect response! 🙂
This sounds really good, and I love the sound of the time loop aspect.

I hope that you enjoy it if you do give it a try. 🙂
This definitely seems like a cool read. Normally, an entire book about a room wouldn’t seem interesting, but we really like sci-fi and this seems like a really unique book. We’re really interested in seeing how the time-loop plays out.
