Review: Future Threat

April 20, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Briggs has done it again in the exciting second installment of the Future Shock series! Although not quite as good as Future Shock, Future Threat is a thrilling ride with plenty of twists and intriguing mystery to keep a reader guessing. Also, Briggs seems to have a talent for writing novels that are enthralling – you can read the entire novel without realizing you’ve been reading for hours! We return to the life of Elena a few months following the events covered in Future Shock. Aether Corp has promised to leave the ill-fated team of misfit teenagers alone and ... Continue Reading...

Review: The Book of The Unnamed Midwife

December 31, 2016 · Leave a Comment

I am a huge fan of the post-apocalyptic genre, so when I saw The Book of The Unnamed Midwife on NetGalley I was intrigued. A novel that follows a nurse the initial days after an apocalyptic event that kills a large portion of the female gender. In the days following the apocalypse women become property to men and it is revealed that no pregnancies render living children. As humanity struggles to overcome the loss of civilization, they also now must face a future without the ability to have children. I appreciated what this novel tried to do by bringing feminism to ... Continue Reading...

Release Blitz: Unknown

August 16, 2016 · Leave a Comment

It's Finally Here! Unknown is the most recent release of Wendy Higgins, the creator of the Sweet Evil Series and The Great Hunt - but with a subtle difference. Instead of the usual YA novel, Higgins is forging ahead into the adult novelist world with her very first NA release. I don't know about you guys but I am psyched to read some more Higgins. Unknown is going to be an instant winner because it was written by any author who creates fantastic characters, intense romantic relationships and ridiculously exciting action scenes. Amber Tate is your typical American ... Continue Reading...
