Unmarked drones are attacking America, causing many deaths and havoc to take place. This leads to an unlikely alliance between Odin, a special force Sargent and a woman who studies warrior ants--I kid you not! This book isn't as good as his first, Daemon, which I loved, but did keep me interested all the way with good twists and turns. I recommend i!

"Unlocked" by Karen Kingsbury is Inspirational Christian Fiction
Great Christian Fiction--Favorite read for July! |
This book deals with bullying, suicide, friendship and family struggles. This is Christian fiction at its best, showing how Christians can make a difference! I highly recommend this one to teens and parents.

"Some Kind of Fairy Tale" by Graham Joyce
I loved Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce! Tara has been missing for 20 year; then on Christmas morning, she shows up at her parents house. When she tells her story about where she has been, her parents and brother don't buy it. Her old boyfriend, who everyone figured did her in 20 years ago, is thrilled she still has feelings for him. When she goes for counseling at her brother's request, we get some answers . . . or do we? Is this girl really Tara or an imposter?
Great writing, good page-turner.

Tuesday Teasers: ""The Deep Zone" and "Unlocked"
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! Just do the following
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.
You're doing a bad thing here, Mr. Rhodes. Sooner or later, we all pay for the bad things we do.Taken from pg. 64 of The Deep Zone by James M. Tabor. (Thriller)
Karen's:
Holden had responded to them better than anything else regarding his communication, and now the cards were a part of his daily therapy. It wasn't what Tracy wanted, but it was an improvement over the years of not knowing anything about what he was thinking or feeling or needing.Taken from pg. 50 of Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury. (Christian fiction about an Autistic boy)

"Afterwards" by Rosamund Lupton
In Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton, Jenny covey is in the school when a huge fire takes place. Her mother, Grace, rushes into the school to try to rescue her. Both of them are pulled out in very critical condition. Adam, Jenny's brother and Grace's son is being accused of starting the fire. Do I have your interest yet? This book is a page turner for sure. It is told by Jenny and Grace as they watch what all unfolds after the fire. This book is just as good as Rosamond's first one, Sister. I think you should read this, I'm glad I did!
(Gerard's review)
Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton is narrated by the spirit of a mother and daughter who were both seriously injured in a school fire. While their bodies are in the hospital in comas, their spirits are following around their loved ones and the investigators of the case to piece together all the pieces to figure out who the arsonist was and also who Jenny's stalker was. It is a complicated story line to follow and at times I had difficulty determining who was talking. Afterwards, I was glad to finally be done with it! I really didn't care much for this one, but was surprised at the ending. I admit I was fooled and did not pick the right person as the stalker or the arsonist.
