This was a great grouping of short stories. I really liked “Brave New Century”. A good weekend read, or you can read a story every evening before bed. All the stories are written about the New Century. They all have a romance written in and a smidgen of history. Good for teens and up. I give it 4 stars.

Book Review for “Fire Country” YA Fiction
I was given a copy by the author, David Estes, in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book! This is a great story with strong characters. The lead character is a young girl who faces the choice of living under the strict laws of her tribe and rebelling. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic society and is the first in a series. Several tribes and peoples are living in a harsh world and have learned to deal with it all in different ways. I fully plan on reading them all, as well as the sister series. A new favorite author. Due to the content I would recommend for high school age and up. A book for either gender. I give this book 5 stars.
Book Review for “Seduction of the Scepter” adult fiction
I was given a copy of “Seduction of the Scepter” by the author, E. Rose Sabin, in exchange for an honest review. This story is told through journal entries by Lara, a young woman who is caught up in the intrigue of court life. I loved the historical feel of this novel. The story has Lara trapped between duty and desire. There are a few sex scenes, but not overly explicit and it is definitely adult content. I also have to mention that I loved the cover. I good read! I give it 4 stars.
Book Review for “The Hollowmen” -Dystopian
“The Hollowmen” Book 2 in the Hollows Series continues on with Remy, the strong female character. These are your typical zombie apocalypse dystopian books, and the first one didn’t have a lot of the zombie stuff in it. This one did. I am still enjoying the storyline, but this one had way more gore, swearing and added some sexual contents, including an almost rape. So for me, that was a little much. I wouldn’t recommend for readers under the age of 17. Its action packed, easy reading, not too deep and there is a small element of romance. I am giving this second book three stars. If you love all things zombie, this one’s for you.
Book Review for “Tent City”_YA Dystopian
Book Review for “Chop, Chop”
Chop, Chop by L.N. Cronk is one of the best Christian Fiction stories I have read. It is a very funny book about several friends from pre-school through college. It isn’t preachy at all, doesn’t quote scriptures, but just chronicles the lives of this group of kids as they live real life stuff. The ending touched my heart and spoke volumes about forgiveness and God’s plan for our lives. Great for all ages. A refreshing change from some of the books I have been reading. Apparently there are more in the series and I plan on looking them up. I give this book 5 stars.
Book Review for “The Human”- YA Dystopian
I just finished the second book in the Eden trilogy called “The Human.” The series is a dystopian world where modern technology and medical science has created a virus that was meant for good, but has mutated in a way that is going to destroy all human life. The main character is a strong female, Eve, who is willing to fight and die for their colony of humans to survive. I loved the first, “Bane” and the second just as much. I have also read the short prequel “Ashes” and a short story, “Raid” they are all great and am impatiently waiting for the last book “Eve.” These books are intended for YA, and are suitable. There is a lot of violence so I recommend for readers 15 and up. I give this book 5 stars.
