Gnash: Washington, Dead City, Book 1 (ADULT AUDIO)

This is not your normal zombie book, this is a man made virus(?), nukes included.  The book follows a couple, Emory who is still in the city which turns into ground zero and, Grayson, Emory's fiance, who was on a business trip in the mid-west when everything hits, and their story from there. 
This is a awesome book and audio, the action doesn't even stop in the last chapter.  The narrator draws you into the story and has you staying in your car or whatever to hear just a bit more.  This is a really good book and worth a try, I can't wait to dig into the next book of the series.

Attack of the Aswang: Warden, Book 3 (YA AUDIO)

Errol is back at it and is now being tested for the Wardens job, but because of the stories told about him and what he has done he is to be brought to Apolos and to be questioned by the high warden himself.  But after taking a side trip into the badlands the traveling group thought all the bad stuff was left there but the group could not be more wrong.  But now its up to Errol to figure out how to fix this before it kills him.
This book was just as action packed and suspenseful as the others, I didn't think Errol was going to make it this time.  I also like Errol's girlfriend she won't stop at anything to do what she wants to do, when she whats to do it, I am not sure who is stronger her or Errol.  The characters are well thought out and work so well together.  The story is awesome and I had the audio where the author and narrator work so well together to make this a wonderful audio.  Mikael Naramore is a great narrator that brings this book to life and draws you into it as though you are there a part of their world.  These books are so much fun I hope there are more to come.

The Beast (The Darkdeep) (MG)

This picks up with our friends shortly after the first book The Darkdeep ends.  Nico, Opal, Tyler, Logan, and Emma just want a calm fun Halloween, without and special responsibilities, if you know what I mean.  But since the problem during the festival the town has gone Beast crazy and so has it tourism.  So now is not the greatest time for the real Beast to show up and with a camera crew in town and all, but the real question is how are the torchbearers going to keep it a secret with everything that is going on, and so much for that calm Halloween. 
I love this series it is great for all (all ages, boy or girl, reluctant reader or not, really everybody).  This is a book that is not always what it appears, what you see on the surface isn't what you might find later on if you keep going in the book, and it might even change a few times, so keep going if you don't like something, I love these twists.  The action will keep you on your toes as well, I realize I  have only mentioned the Beast but do not by any means think he is the only thing (they are not all monsters) out there.  I don't know how these two authors keep their stories so fresh and fun but I hope they have no plans on stopping anytime soon, because I just have to know what happens.

Slay (YA)

Seventeen year old Kiera is an awesome student, with an attentive boyfriend who cares about her and his heritage maybe even more, and she is a queen in the Virtual Reality Game, Slay. She is also one of only three African Americans at her school, where she is often asked to answer for everyone of her heritage, and is always having to act more like the rest of her classmates.  But everything changes when a boy, playing Slay is killed over game coin, and all of Slay's secrets come out including that Slay is only for people like her, African Americans.  Slay is the only place Kiera feels she can be herself and now people are saying the game is discriminating and racist.  Kiera has a huge secret, she made Slay, and now she is scared.
This is such a awesome story line, it is a place I could never go but I would hope if I ever got to have a conversation with Kiera she would entrust me with some codes to hand out at my discretion. I think we all can use a place where we can totally be ourselves without worry or hate.   It was nice to loose myself in this world for a while but there where times I wanted to just yell, "what are you thinking" to some of her friends for some of the questions or things they would say.  This isn't just a thinking book although it will make you do that, it has its fair share of action and a lot of it, as well as suspense, and twists that will take you right up to the end, oh yeah there is some cool tech stuff too.  This is a stay up late at night because you can't put the book down kind of book.  By the way, do you eat meat?

The Girl Behind the Red Rope (ADULT)

Grace is the good girl until her brother gets her into trouble  thinking that it is safe to go beyond the borders of their town the ones marked by the red rope.  But he comes back traumatized into the strict ways of the town and Grace comes back with all the questions.  Then when her father shows up with a boy he says is her brother and for her to take care of him, well everything goes up in the air than, or I should say on the run.
This was a interesting, and thought provoking book with lots of action, twists and turns, and suspense  so thick you could swim through it.  I can't say a whole lot about it without giving up spoilers, but if you like Ted Dekker you will love this book.

The Hive (YA)

Cassie has always believed in social media so when the Hive came about it seemed natural and right as well.  The hive was the power of the people on social media to police themselves if someone got so many dislikes than they would be doled out a punishment that the Hive (the people of social media) would implement.  The more the dislikes the worse the punishment and the longer it can go on, but most people got a level one or two which would be something small and would have to be done within one to two days. That is until Cassie made a joke on social media and found out a lot of people found it more mean than funny like her and she was the first to get a level six punishment, now she is on the run. 
This was a fun book on so many levels, but mostly I can easily see some form of this coming in the future, it has been the center of many shows and brought up in some books lately, but not to this extent.  This book makes social media  scary even terrifying.  I just read for fun so I didn't read to much into it other than what was there and that was exciting, suspenseful with twists and turns that kept me guessing and that make a great book for me.

Under the Mountain: Into the Outside, Book 3 (YA AUDIO)

Isabella and her family and friends are held prisoner in the lowest levels of Mt Weather and are slated to clean up some of the highest radiated areas without any protection.  Luke has also made it to Mt Weather and has made friends with others that are rebels and hate what the higher ups are doing to the mutants and are ready to help Luke free his sister and friends. 
This is the last book in the trilogy and probably the best.  It has so much action and suspense you just can not stop reading or if you are lucky enough to get the audio narrated by Ann Bumbak you can't stop listening.  Ms Bumbak is wonderful she draws you into the story and makes you feel as though you are there fighting along side everyone sometimes as a rebel sometimes as a mutant, but you will  have to stay and see what happens all the way to the end.  This was a great series and one you should give a try if you like post dystopian books but not as rough as others.
