SYNOPSIS

One horrifying day will change the life of sixteen-year-old Shane Tucker and every other kid in the world. 

In a span of mere hours, the entire adult population is decimated, leaving their children behind to fend for themselves and deal with the horrific aftermath of the freak occurrence. As one of the newly made elders in his small town, Shane finds himself taking on the role of caretaker for a large group of juvenile survivors. One who just happens to be Kelly Douglas—an out-of-his-league classmate—who, on any other day, would have never given Shane a second glance. 

Together, they begin their quest to find out why all of the adults were slaughtered. What they find is even more horrifying than anything they could have expected—the annihilation of the adults was only the beginning. Shane and his friends are not the unlucky survivors left to inherit this new, messed-up planet. No, they are its next victims. There is an unknown power out there, and it won’t stop until every person in the world is dead.

♠ REMINISCING SUNDAY - BIRTHMARKED by Caragh M. O'Brien (Birthmarked #1): A Warrior Fairy review

In the future, in a world baked dry by the harsh sun, there are those who live inside the walled Enclave and those, like sixteen-year-old Gaia Stone, who live outside. Following in her mother's footsteps Gaia has become a midwife, delivering babies in the world outside the wall and handing a quota over to be "advanced" into the privileged society of the Enclave. Gaia has always believed this is her duty, until the night her mother and father are arrested by the very people they so loyally serve. Now Gaia is forced to question everything she has been taught, but her choice is simple: enter the world of the Enclave to rescue her parents, or die trying.

I was quite interested in this book. First off, the cover is beautiful in that dark, haunting way. Secondly, the premise seemed promising and original. I wish I could have loved this.

♠ TUESDAY TRACKBACK - UNWIND by Neal Shusterman (Unwind Dystology #1): A Warrior Fairy review

 

Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.

The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.

Rating: 4 out of 5


I had very high expectations for this book, mainly because of the hype surrounding it. I probably did it a disservice going into this with that in mind because while it was a great book, I expected... well, I didn't know what to expect. More? I just didn't get the sense of fulfillment I'd have wanted when I finished it.

I applaud Shusterman for his originality and for daring to write on the value of life. I think his main concept, unwinding, was what ultimately drew me to this. Just the thought of parents sentencing their children to this might make it hard to believe at first, but then I think about what history has already shown us on what we can do, and maybe, just maybe, it's not that unbelievable at all.

✼THE DARKEST MINDS by Alexandra Bracken" A Haul Fairy book review

Warning: The book I am about to review may contain spoilers (just a little bit) and also, this  not suitable for those who hate cliff hangers.

Once again I was pulled by the hype surrounding this book to pick this up. I’m that gullible. And I love dystopia; I am huge fan of books that have a plot of totalitarian form of government, repressive social control systems, disease- spreading-apocalyptic world and brutality for survival.
  
Darkest minds is about a mysterious disease that killed most of the American’s children. The ones who survived have abilities, some are harmful, some are deadly and some are wicked. These “sick” kids are confined to a “rehab center” where they wait for the cure of their diseases. They are tagged as Green, Yellow, Orange and Red; it depends on the ability of these kids. Greens and Yellows are left to the camp and the Orange and Red are sent of different camp or killed. Ruby, our main character, was waiting to drop dead or to be taken away. When she woke up on her tenth birthday, she knew that something was wrong. She was sent to the rehab camp because of something she did to her parents. When Ruby turned to sixteen, that’s where her adventure began. She was given a chance to escape the camp and she took it. He met a group of children with abilities and this group is searching for a safe haven. One of the members of this group is Liam, Ruby’s love interest. Along the road, they faced survival, dodging the authorities, escaping bounty hunters and testing their friendship, love and loyalty.
