Blurb:

From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard, writing as MA Heard, comes a new, full-length Dystopian Romance novel.

Over the past four decades, the dome over our Ecocity has protected us from the deviants living in the forbidden territory. Since the great war ended, our lives have consisted of virtue and order.

Once a year, seven people are sent out to the forbidden lands to see if there are any deviants worth saving. None have returned, only increasing people's fear of what lies beyond the safe border of the dome.

When I’m chosen as a crusader, the world, as I know it, is ripped from under my feet. In the forbidden territory, I learn things I never dreamed existed – a world I’ve been totally oblivious to. I meet people who freely show emotion and affection. People who dare make their own choices.

It’s frightening and the opposite of everything I’ve ever known.

Suddenly, I have to fight for my life. I’m thrown into chaos where time is running out to become a skilled fighter who will be an asset for the coming war. But my mind’s bombarded with questions – who’s right and who’s wrong? Which side should I fight on?

I don’t belong in this world filled with cruelty and depravity.

Then there’s Chance, my reluctant trainer. The man is the definition of deadly and so attractive I struggle to think straight around him. I’m also pretty sure he would love nothing more than to snap my neck. Cruel, impatient, and harsh, he’s a brute who seems annoyed by my existence.

Honestly, I’m not sure I will survive living with the deviants, never mind fighting in a war. Unless I find my courage and learn to fight for myself, I fear this new world will crush me.

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

 

OMG I fell in love with this book!!! We get a crazy new world after apocalyptic events with a interesting new world order.  Jai lives in this world safe in the ecocity when with no warning she is made to leave where her life is essentially turned upside down while also in danger at all times. Chance may be her savior but that does not mean he is any sort nice guy. In the midst of this incredible world building these two are explosive together but no sooner do things start to get real interesting we hit the cliff hanger leaving you wanting more right now. I so have to see what happens next and to be totally honest I am really loving this new world so I would totally embrace a whole set of characters to follow in the future. One can only hope and wait for book two. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

This is such an addicting read!! We meet Amelia who has spent her life moving from place to place thanks to her father's career. She is finally moving back to the one place she felt at home Las Vegas. It has been five years since she was forced to move leaving behind the two best friends she ever had. West and Cole are foster brothers and meeting Amelia changed everything for them leaving them heart broken when she left. Now that she is back they are forced to deal with the past while also adding a third brother to their group. The world coming to an end just makes things just that much more intense creating an addicting read as it all plays out. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

The Pearl in the Darkness

Light of Mine Series Book 1

by Santana Saunders

Genre: Apocalyptic Fantasy 

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE POWERFUL 2020 DEBUT NOVEL FROM SANTANA SAUNDERS

“We went too far. Father is mad. No one make a sound…”

Filled with the suspense and lyrical writing that draws readers to The Stand by Stephen King, a witty humor in the tradition of Andy Weir, The Martian, and a fierce female lead for fans of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.


In a not-so-distant future, recurring acts of terrorism lead to the abolishment of all religion. Believers taking a stand against the ruling are placed in institutions. All existing Bibles, Quranands and Vedas are destroyed—or so they thought.

Leora Smith, a witty, thirty-year-old medical transcriptionist, lives a quiet life due to a debilitating disorder and unwavering faith that must be kept hidden. Her world is turned upside down when a celestial being informs her of the forthcoming apocalypse and assigns her to recruit experts imperative to the subsistence of the society that will remain when the dust settles.

Each recruit has a story that can only be seen behind closed doors. Leora’s childhood friend and numerous enlightened allies band together in an effort to persuade the best and brightest.

As nature bends in accordance to the plan, Leora's preconceived notions of everything good and evil are about to be tested.

Santana Saunders grew up along the Missouri River in rural North Dakota, where the sandbars were far-off lands and the canoes were pirate ships.

Santana went on to pursue a career in marketing, and creative writing went on the back-burner. In 2019, she and her family found themselves relocating to Florida. Sandbars and canoes quickly became beaches and ocean. This change of scenery inspired her to return to writing.

Today, she is a Florida-based author of fantasy and thriller novels. When she isn't reading or writing stories she is playing at the beach with her husband and three daughters or attempting a DIY home project that will surely take weeks longer than anticipated to accomplish.

Mariposa is still totally awesome!! We catch up with her and the MC as they are getting ready to relocate to get away from General Tash. Mari has become much closer to Shadow by this point helping him make huge strides in his social life. This becomes important when they arrive at Four Corners to seek shelter for a temporary time until they find a new place to settle down. What they don't expect is for the Governor's daughter to be kidnapped making it necessary for them to help get her back in order to stay. Reaper is against the idea but agrees to let Shadow and Larkin go along with the Sons of Odin to help out. What he doesn't expect is Mari to demand to go as well. Good thing she does too as she saves the day both during and after the rescue. Thanks to an injury she has to stay with Shadow which just brings them even closer. Full of surprise, suspense, and fun all combines to create one fantastic addition to this series. A total must read. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

This leads to one an explosive ending with a cliff hanger. I cannot wait to see what happens next. A fantastic paranormal zombie reverse harem series. Total must read. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

World War Dead

by TS Alan

Genre: Apocalyptic Horror 

World War Dead is a four-part zombie novel, in which military and health organizations around the world battle time and the undead in an attempt to get valuable research data to the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland. There, an antiviral for the Acute Reanimation Syndrome (ARS) virus is being developed.

The novel has main characters from each region, two of which are half-zombies, and all the stories are intertwined with one another.

Part I: War of the Dead

A zombified Marine lieutenant injected with the antiviral is brought back to half-life but finds himself caught between human and zombie, and reconsiders which side he should fight on.

Part II: Escape from the Dead

With time running out, a European CDC security team faces insurmountable odds against zombies and a hostile military faction attempting to get their antiviral to an awaiting military transport plane that will take them to a US military base.

Part III: Call to Arms

A Canadian helicopter team arrives at a US military outpost for an exchange to acquire a batch of antiviral but finds themselves betrayed and stranded. Having learned of High Command’s treacheries, a rogue team of Marines led by a sympathetic master sergeant comes to the Canadians rescue. The master sergeant hopes to enlist the Canadians, along with a brigade of half-zombies, as part of a strike force to overthrow a forced labor camp in Gettysburg run by the military.

Part IV: War of the Dead

A former Army sergeant, who finds her half-zombie condition has left her infertile, leads a discontented group of half-zombies on a war against humanity and zombies alike. Will the remaining military, the work camp survivors, and the lieutenant’s half-mute brigade unite in time to stop the dissident half-mutes from executing their elaborate plan of genocide, or will humankind finally meet extinction?

OMG this finale was totally amazing!! We finally get to see how this all plays out for Blyss, Puppy, and the gang. Action packed from start to finish you will not be able to put it down until you hit the very last page. It blew my mind will all that happened while wrapping up all the remaining threads that were going on. One explosive battle to say the least. A must read series for fans of apocalyptic reverse harem. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Blyss is still absolutely amazing! Puppy totally rocks too and will always be my fave. There is quite a bit of twist and turns in this book that you will never see coming but they add so much to the story that it will blow your mind. Things are starting to come together by this point showing the build up to what is going to be one huge blowout. A must read for fans of apocalyptic reverse harem romance. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

Scorched by Lacey Carter Anderson

Okay so I have been hooked on this series since the first one so I must say the Silver dragons did pique my interest so I was more then ready for this  one. I was so not disappointed!! Like the others the female MC fights her attraction to her dragon mate though he does not accept that. Instead her proceeds to show her exactly what she would be missing and man is it hot!! I swear you need a fan to read this but it will be worth it!! A fantastically steamy dragon romance. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Defied by Lacey Carter Anderson

Another fantastically steamy addition to this apocalyptic dragon romance series. We meet Hannah who adamantly refuses to believe that she is the mate for not one but two dragon shifters. She had dreams of love, romance, and even chocolates which this does not fit. Of course the dragons don't understand that so they to try their best to change her mind which thankfully the mate bond helps. A fantastic steamy menage dragon romance that you will be unable to put down once you get started.

Captured by Lacey Carter Anderson

Another fantastic addition to this series!! Faith is the sister mentioned in book one and now she feels abandoned after everyone pretty much leaves. This changes when not one but a five blue dragons show up claiming she is their mate. She does not agree and almost gets taken by another group before her guys save her. A short read full of plenty of action, really hot dragons, steam, and a MC you can relate to. Perfect for fans of the genre. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.

Theirs To Pleasure by Stasia Black

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

What an interesting take on life after an Armageddon event. Apparently a virus went through wiping out most of the women and after that there were some bombings. The survivors are pretty much grouped together in different types of settlements all following different rules. Shay helps release a prisoner and the two of them end up in a place where each women is put into a marriage lottery where five husbands are chosen for her to from a clan. The problem is that Shay and her men all have secrets that they will have to overcome before they can even dream of their HEA. In a world this messed up that can include all kinds of messed up stuff. I was definitely surprised on every page I must say so the writing will keep you hooked until the last page. If any of the above sounds like your cup of tea then this book is probably for you. I really enjoyed it so I give it 4/5 stars.

166 pages

It’s August in Alaska, and geology professor Jack Oswald prepares for the new school year. But when hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appear overnight in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle, Jack receives an unexpected phone call. An oil company exec hires Jack to investigate, and he picks his climatologist wife and two of their graduate students as his team. Uncharacteristically, Jack also lets Aileen O’Shannon, a bewitchingly beautiful young photojournalist, talk him into coming along as their photographer. When they arrive in the remote oil town of Deadhorse, the exec and a biologist to protect them from wild animals join the team. Their task: to assess the risk of more holes opening under the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the wells and pipelines that feed it. But they discover a far worse danger lurks below. When it emerges, it threatens to shatter Jack’s unshakable faith in science. And destroy us all…

Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton

218 pages

When hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appeared overnight inthe frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle, geologist Jack Oswald picked Angele Menendez, his climatologist wife, to determine if the record temperatures due to climate change was the cause. But the holes were not natural. They were unnatural portals for an invading army of demons. Together with Aileen O'Shannon, a 1,400-year-old sorceress demon-hunter, the three survivors of the research team sent to study the holes had only one chance: to flee down the dangerous Dalton Highway towards the relative safety of Fairbanks. However, the advancing horde of devils, imps, hellhounds, and gargoyles will stop at nothing to prevent their prey from escaping. It is a 350-mile race with simple rules.

In this guise, he has authored seven technical books, written numerous software- and system-related articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can possibly remember.

His first foray into fiction is the book Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick Ignatius Feuerschmied. He lives in Crafton, Pennsylvania with his wife Becky, his son Dane, and varying numbers of dogs, cats, and birds.
