Release Day Blitz

November 24, 2014

I left home because I didn’t want to end up in a cage like a lab rat. Hitching rides, begging for cash, and sleeping on the ground got old fast. That was the only reason I braved an overgrown path to a group of buildings. I’d hoped to find a bed and a decent night’s sleep. However, what I found was a place overrun by werewolves.

While on the run, Charlene finds herself surrounded by werewolves, creatures she can’t control with her mind like she can humans. Their existence has her believing she’s found a safe place to stay, a place where secrets are okay. However, she soon discovers she’s anything but safe. Charlene must learn how to use her abilities to influence the strange new species because if she can’t, the next bite she suffers might just kill her.

Read how the cycle begins, and have no doubt. Charlene’s past will shape the future of the Judgements.

Gabby's brain is like a human fish finder. It comes in handy when she wants to avoid people. Mostly men. They seem to like her a bit too much. It's lonely being different, but she's adapted to it. Really. She just wishes she knew why she is different, though.

In her search for answers, she discovers a hidden community of werewolves. She immerses herself in their culture, learning about their world until she meets Clay. He's unkempt, prone to mood swings, intense without saying a word, and he thinks Gabby is his.

It's going to take every trick she knows to convince Clay to go away, and every bit of willpower not to fall for him when she discovers the man beneath the rough exterior.

Delve into a riveting world of werewolves and young women with unexplained abilities, in Hope(less).

BOOK 1

SYNOPSIS

Scientists are the new rock stars. The infection has been contained for nearly three months, and the world is celebrating. But humans are still dying. Rebekah Taylor has seen it firsthand. Her husband was killed right in front of her by the very creatures that humans were told they no longer had to fear.

Rebekah is determined to find out who is responsible for the death of her husband and the obvious cover-up. Fueled with revenge, she begins to find answers that lead to one frightening conclusion. The apocalypse might be over, but the battles are just beginning.

*3 STARS*

I really wanted to love this book, but for me it was just okay. I am a huge zombie novel fan and so when I saw this synopsis, I jumped at the chance to review it. I had such high hopes for this one and judging by other reviews, I'm pretty sure this is one of those "it's me, not you" scenarios. It's not you, Recruitz, the issue lies with me. 

The story started off with lots of action. Rebekah and her husband, Gavin, are stuck in their car during a zombie attack. The weird thing about the attack was that the zombies were specifically targeting Gavin and didn't really pay any attention to Rebekah. This caught my attention and raised my expectations for this book. However, I had trouble connecting with Rebekah. I'm not sure why. I don't have any real reason, but nonetheless. 

HOWEVER, I loved Preston. He was sweet and manly. I was a bit miffed that he was lying to Rebekah for a while, but when he explained himself I could kind of understand why. It didn't excuse it but I understood. 

Ironically (or maybe the better word would be horrifically) enough, my favorite parts were the zombie cage fighting and when Rebekah was put in the cage with a zombie and had to fight him without any weapons. That was really cool. 

I think maybe it just wasn't the right time for me to read this book. This book had more mystery and suspense than I usually read and so maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it. I haven't written off the series yet because...well...ZOMBIES! I freaking love zombie books, but I'm just kind of on the fence on this one. 

BOOK 2

SYNOPSIS

The outbreak might be over, but the nightmare is just beginning...

Rebekah vows to expose the truth behind the RecruitZ that are killing the innocents. These creatures must be stopped, but so should the people controlling them. When Rebekah uncovers who is behind the uprisings, her own life becomes in danger.

Rebekah knows that she is not alone in this fight but vengeance alone won't help her and the others to victory. It is up to her to uncover the truth for the public before the world is turned over to an elite few.

Regardless of what may happen to her, she knows it's a race against time to destroy these creatures and the monsters controlling them before there is no one left worth saving.
