This short novella is not required to follow the series, but is a great addition. This story follows a different POV than the main series. There’s a spoiler for who this POV is if you haven’t read book one. This story is harder to read than the first one. There’s a lot more loss […]
Something wipes out technology around the world and there is a reset back to primitive hunter/gatherer society in what was once the southwestern US. A woman has been surviving alone almost as a ghost until bad luck finds her in the form of a pack of scavenging men. Her rescuer is competent and sure- and […]
I saw FantasticLand on the Audible 2-for-1 deal and decided to give it a chance. While I had never read the author before, I knew both the narrators and really enjoyed them in the past. I liked the dystopian look of the cover and when I read the blurb, I thought the story sounded really […]
City of Bones was released years ago but is being republished in 2023. Since I have loved all of Well’s Murderbot series I was excited to jump into a different type of story produced by her. This is the type of fantasy I’m used to reading where we are light on romance, heavy on world […]
Wayward is the sequel to The Wanderers. They are both long books, covering a pandemic, white nationalism, artificial intelligence and other timely social issues which were not as prevalent at the time the books were written. For me, it was the combination of a good story with many issues to consider from different perspectives. It’s […]
I remember how I really wanted to read this book and started it but had something come up and never got back to it. Somehow I also had the wrong impression of the age of the main character in the brief amount I read which was better once I actually read and knew more. That […]
Wanderers is the kind of dystopian story I love but it came out at the beginning of the COVID pandemic so I wasn’t sure about reading it then. I’m glad I finally read it now and can move forward with the sequel Wayward. The story is set primarily in the United States. The characters are […]
The Maze Cutter, the first book in the new trilogy The Maze Cutter, is set about 73 years in the future from the Maze Runner series and if you are like me you probably read that series at least 5-8 years ago and have forgotten most of the story lines other than apocalyptical world, weird […]
I was excited to be back in Atlanta with the Mercenary Librarians and the Silver Devils. This is a series I’ve loved from the beginning. It is a dystopian world where everything collapses when solar flares change the world. Now, the people have a new normal. “Government” is somewhat established. It is run by the […]
I was thrilled to contine the Mercenary Librarians series. Each book has a new couple for romantic suspense and more of the overall story arc for the series. Basically, the greedy TechnoCorp uses people, including abducting and cloning children, with only the rich few running everything and living comfortably. I would really read these books […]
