Into the Deep (Into the Deep, #1) by Lauryn April

Into the Deep (Into the Deep, #1)Into the Deep by Lauryn April
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*Warning spoilers ahead*

Ivy is a typical seventeen year old, part of the popular group. Trying to fit in, doing things she doesn't really want to do because she doesn't want to be alone.

Things change for Ivy the night her and her friends sneak into the Country clubs swimming pool. The night of her accident.

Now she isn't just the typical seventeen year old, now she can hear the things that no one should. Now she can hear the personal things that no one shares with anyone, she can hear the thoughts of those around her.

With this new ability, not only does she start to doubt who she really is, but she starts to view her friends and those around differently.

At first the things she hears is like a trickling of water, but as the days past it's like she's standing outside in a hurricane, she is bombarded with voices. And one voice stands out from them all.

  A month from now, they'll all be dead.

Ivy has a month to figure out who that voice belongs to and to stop him before it's too late. While doing this she starts to make new friendships, friends that she doesn't need to change to fit in with. For the first time she feels comfortable being just herself.

Into the Deep is a well written young adult novel, with mystery, romance, friendship. I really enjoyed the story but at times I felt like I knew this story. No I haven't read it before, my favorite T.V show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it felt like I was reading the episode "Earshot" from Season 3. Where the book isn't exactly the same, there are a lot of similar things. The ability to hear peoples thoughts, searching the school to find the person who they think is going to kill everyone, This time tomorrow, I'll kill you all (BtVS: Earshot).

Over all:
A great book that, I highly recommend to those who enjoy a well written young adult novel, mystery, coming of age/self discovery books. Looking forward to reading Hidden Beneath.

#bookreview Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier #booktour

  Hello and welcome back, or welcome if you are new to the blog.  Today I have a book review for you. It is my stop for the virtual tour of Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier.  The blurb (From Goodreads) At the far edge of cultivated space, a derelict ship rests. Ten times larger than the biggest Terran dreadnaught, the ship is not recognized by any of the five species tenuously coexisting in the galaxy. Small crews are sent to investigate. What they find is a trap. Once in the metal labyrinth’s clutches, it is clear the unlikely allies will not escape unless they can work together as a team. Unfortunately, trust and cooperation are entirely out of the question. An immersive tale of escape and comradery, Escaping First Contact brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, richly detailed alien cultures, deft humour, and explosive action. "Fantastic world building, believable aliens and lots of snappy action. T.S. Beier is on her way up!"- S.D. Perry, author of Ali...

Skinned by Robin Wasserman

Skinned by Robin Wasserman My rating: 3 of 5 stars May contain spoilers, cursing and ranting. When something bad happens to you, like an accident as what happened in this book to our main. It doesn't always mean death. If your brain is still working you can be downloaded into a new body. Some people if they have enough credit can have one specialty made if there is enough time for it. But the thing is you are no longer human. You can't bleed, eat, breath. You can feel pain to a degree only with extreme actions. Hot and cold mean nothing. You can feel slightly but it's not the same. You don't need to bathe, brush your teeth or use the bathroom. You're a machine that looks human and mentally you still are the same person but it's never the same. It was going so strong, so good. But then things started to stand out. Little things that annoyed me. Nothing major just certain wordings for example "eating lunch" but how is she exactly doing this?? ...

Book tour: Hooked by Bobbi JG Weiss

Image
Hooked by Bobbi J.G. Weiss My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hooked is a story of man who never knew his father, but being told he looked very much like him. Knowing that he use to own a bookstore, was a swordsmen and they share the same temper that seems to be handed down from son to son. But other that he knows nothing. This is a tale of a man losing his mother and trying to find out who is father is. His mother never telling. Jonathan Edward Stuart, a book store owner and former alcoholic has always had dreams, nightmares a more fitting word for it. He has always had bad habits, Melanie thinks he is a very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide like, others that know him say he's child like. Could these be just a result of the nightmares, his drinking, or does it fun in family. he stumbles upon what looks to be a story, which appears to be the memoirs of Captain Hook, of the Jolly Roger. But it can't really be truthful? It's just a tale right? Peter Pan is a name that to him, br...
