Eve of Tomorrow



Eve of Tomorrow Dawn of Rebellion Series # 3
by Michelle Lynn

OMG! The author has saved the best for last with this third and final book in the Dawn of Rebellion series.

I found all three books easy to read with each chapter titled with the name of the character who is telling the story. Drew was my favorite, but I think Lee has now surpassed him. Ms. Lynn has done a wonderful job of bringing these young brave characters to life.

So much happens in this one. It carried me along throughout the emotional ride, and I’m not ashamed to admit it had me in tears near the end. Well done Ms. Lynn, your YA dystopian series had me gripped from the first chapter of book 1.

***** 5 Stars

Away completely shattered me. I literally cried so hard. This story broke my soul. There are not enough stars I could give this book to tell you how amazing it is. Oh the feelings and emotions. BA Wolfe has written a story that will ingrain itself into your soul. These characters are truly breath taking, that is the only way I know how to describe them. They will amaze you, capture your heart, and make you truly feel. Definitely a must read!!

Cut and Run


Cut And Run by Amy Elizabeth

This was a very interesting book. If I had to classify it, I would say it was a coming of age story by so much more. Our main character, Rebecca, flees her less than desirable home life for the summer before heading off to college in the fall. This didn't feel completely fictitious, but more like watching the events unfold for a few months in this young woman's life as she tries to find her way. In some instances, it seemed unbelievable, yet not unrealistic in my opinion, the freedoms that this young woman had at such a young age. However, having known individuals with less than desirable backgrounds, I have seen them have many more freedoms than is normal for others there age who have someone looking out for them. At times, she made what could be called "dumb decisions" yet they were what could be expected from someone so young. However, the interesting part was watching her recognize and struggle with those decisions and try to make things right as she tried to navigate and make her way. The danger and other bits of obvious fiction with the light mystery part of the book made things interesting and entertaining. I found overall that I liked the main character and all of the others as well.
The narrator added nicely to this book. She captured the essence of each character and did a great job of bringing them to life. Overall, an enjoyable read.

*** 3 Star Rating (See rating meanings)
