Published by: Skyscape
Publication date: October 13th 2016
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
The forces of Darkness have only gotten stronger as Aidan struggles to control his newly awakened abilities that seem to be his only hope for fixing the mess he made by waking up his little sister, Ava, who seems to think it’s all a game as she taunts him and begins a torturous game of cat and mouse. And while Rebecca isn’t sure where she fits in the fight, one thing she does know is that something has gone very wrong inside her. And uncovering what it is could upend any hope Aidan has to save the lives of everyone he’s grown to love.
Everything he’s built, everything he’s fought for until now, hangs in the balance—as well as the fate of the world. Now Aidan and the Lights he’s brought together must take their true place to fight the forces rising from the shadows at a startling rate, forces trying to tear them apart. But when Aidan can’t save the one thing he needs the most, he begins to wonder if he’ll have anything true left to hold on to in the end.

The Fireman by Joe Hill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A new plague has begun in the world and the scientists are baffled as to how to stop it. Millions are infected with no antidote in sight. The scientists have named it the Draco Incendia Trychophyton but the rest of the population is just calling it Dragonscale. It’s highly dangerous and highly contagious marking those infected with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies before causing them to burst into flames.
Harper Grayson was a school nurse before the plague broke out but when the call went out for help in the local hospital she couldn’t sit back and do nothing. Taking every precaution Harper works with those with the virus everyday but never really expected that one day she would end up sick herself. She and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact to end it if they were to become sick, there’s only one problem now that the day has come, Harper is now carrying a new life inside her.
After reading a wonderful review from Kim @ By Hook or By Book of The Fireman I couldn’t help but want to pick this one up and check it out myself. I’m one that loves a good dystopian type of novel which Joe Hill has managed here with this book along with a mix of horror, science fiction and even a touch of romance in the midst of all the chaos.
Harper was a wonderful character from start to finish. She’s dedicated her life to helping others even at the point it turned to her life in danger. She’s always had a thing for Mary Poppins and prides herself on staying calm to deal with anything tossed at her and a bit of a nurturing side that comes with being there for others.
Our Fireman in the story is a new character to get to enjoy in this read. A regular man that has now made it his mission to help those infected he has also studied the effects of this disease and learned to use some of the side effects to his advantage.
Harper’s one wish came down to wanting to live long enough to try to give birth to a healthy baby but along the way she has many obstacles to overcome. A husband that is determined to end her life now that she’s sick. A world full of those that are trying to wipe out the plague by killing those infected. And stumbling into a cult like environment trying to escape.
A definite page turner from start to finish that I’d definitely recommend checking out.

From New York Times bestselling author Skye Warren comes a sexy new novel in the Stripped series…
Once upon a time the daughter of a mafia king fell in love with a foot soldier.
This fairy tale didn’t have a happy ending.
My sister and I barely managed to escape alive, and we’ve lived in relative hiding ever since. I’m safe now, but I can never forget the boy who gave his life to save mine.
Except there are whispers that he’s still alive. And he’s fighting a war.
Even knowing the risks, I have to find him. I have to find some way to protect him, the way he protected me. But he isn’t the boy I left behind. He’s a violent man. A criminal. And he’s been waiting for me—the final pawn in a dark game of survival and love.

EXCERPT:
Something moves me gently, constant and rhythmic like waves. I’m warm. There’s something soft curling around my arms, wrapped inside my fists. Padding beneath my cheek that smells like home.
An unnatural darkness weighs down on me, keeping me from waking up—a demon’s whisper in my ear. You’re warm, you’re safe. Sleep.
But something is wrong.
I remember falling asleep, so suddenly, remember drinking water that I hadn’t filled. And I remember the phone call from Amy telling me that Giovanni’s alive. Impossible.
Awareness pricks my skin like a cold breeze. Wherever I am, I’m not alone.
I blink rapidly, forcing my eyes open. They adjust to the darkness quickly, taking in the tinted windows on either side and the wide leather bench curving beneath me. I’m in a car. A limo, to be exact. And it’s moving.
On the opposite side of the long space, a large body reclines. I can see the wide stance of his legs, the pale white of his shirt. A suit jacket tossed beside his hip. His face is hidden in the shadows of the vehicle.
I was raised by the head of the Las Vegas mafia, the capo. I grew up around guns and violence, so I know when a man is armed. It’s the way he holds himself, the warning shimmering around him like a dark halo.
This man is armed and extremely dangerous.
Every muscle in my body tenses. My mind still swims in thick water, because I must have been drugged. He drugged me, this faceless man. Why did he take me? It won’t be anything good, that’s for sure.
Even worse, I suspect this has something to do with my past, with my family. It’s messed up that I’d rather be taken by some random psycho. But at least then I’d have a chance of getting away.
“Who are you?” I demand, my voice hoarse from whatever drugs they gave me.
There’s a long pause, the weight of his regard as heavy as a finger trailing down my neck.
“Have I really changed that much, bella, that you don’t recognize me?”
