Today I'm excited to take part in the Blog Tour for The Body Electric by Beth Revis thanks to Xpresso Book Tours! Yesterday I posted my four star review of The Body Electric and today I have an excerpt as well as a freaking awesome tour wide giveaway to share where you can win signed books :)
_________________________________________
Ella Shepherd has dedicated her life to using her unique gift—the ability to enter people’s dreams and memories using technology developed by her mother—to help others relive their happy memories.
But not all is at it seems.
Ella starts seeing impossible things—images of her dead father, warnings of who she cannot trust. Her government recruits her to spy on a rebel group, using her ability to experience—and influence—the memories of traitors. But the leader of the rebels claims they used to be in love—even though Ella’s never met him before in her life. Which can only mean one thing…
Someone’s altered her memory.
Ella’s gift is enough to overthrow a corrupt government or crush a growing rebel group. She is the key to stopping a war she didn’t even know was happening. But if someone else has been inside Ella’s head, she cannot trust her own memories, thoughts, or feelings.
So who can she trust?

I sigh, and the sound seems to wrap around me, like a rope made of my own self-doubt, strangling all my hopes with it.
Jack’s expression is fierce. He moves closer, but I back away, my heart thudding, until I’m pressed against the wall and he towers over me. His arms drop down, caging me in.
I only have time to squeak in surprise as Jack swoops down, his face millimeters from my own. My eyes are wide, staring into his.
My gaze drops.
His lips are right there, right in front of mine. They part slightly, and I smell the apple he just ate on his warm breath. I imagine tasting that apple, too.
"You have no idea how difficult it is," Jack said that night in the tower. "Loving you the way I loved you, and you not even remembering who I am."
Jack lifts his hand and presses it against my chest so hard that I can feel the full outline of his hand, burning through my shirt and into my flesh.
"Feel that?" he asks, but I have no answer for him, because everything I’ve ever felt is racing through my entire body, fear and desire and panic and lust and doubt, all of it, all at once, bubbling up around his hand like a pot of boiling water.
"Science can make a heart beat," Jack says softly, each word falling on me like a caress. "But it can’t make it race."
