A is for ... Across the Universe series by Beth Revis
Beth Revis is a goddess. As soon as I picked up Across the Universe, I devoured it within a day and already wanted book two, A Million Suns. As soon as A Million Suns came out, I was reading it, and then I couldn't wait to get my hands on Shades of Earth. Whenever I read these books, they make me want to strive to be a better writer. My sister and I even drove three hours one way for her book signing. It was awesome.
Seventeen-year-old
Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship
Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in
the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would
come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into
the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.
Amy
quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction.
Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to
kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be
next.
Now
Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list
of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future
leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.
Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is
ruled by chaos.
It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.
But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.
In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.

Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed
behind. They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on
Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles
across the universe to experience.
But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.
Amy and Elder must race to discover who--or what--else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed--friends, family, life on Earth--will have been for nothing.
FUELED BY LIES.
RULED BY CHAOS.
ALMOST HOME.
