What we Kill

Four lifelong friends wake up in the woods with no memory of how they got there, and no memory of the night before. One has a triangle burn in his arm, another is covered in blood, another is missing his glass eye, and finally another has no pants on. The images of big black eyes and sheep crying keep playing in their heads, but what does that mean? Not to mention their was a serial killer in the town that was just caught, and now they are pulling body after body out of his house. Were they involved in that somehow? Why cant they remember anything they did? What happened??

So this book was an ARC without page proofs, but i found it to be amazing ! You will be dying to get your hands on this book when it is released! I found myself captured from the very first page!
Like how can you wake up and not remember anything? Good kids who dont do drugs or drink, should have no problem remembering where they were the night before, and what they were doing.

As you follow each of the four friends piece together bit by bit of the events they forgot, follow them along a rollercoaster of emotions, and twist and turns to find out this crazy story! You won't believe the twist, and you won't believe what happened to this group of friends! I was gasping out loud and in utter shock when the puzzle pieces finally all come together !

Also the ending is great! I really hope it doesn't change because i loved the question ending; What would you do?
It makes you think of yourself in that situation how would you handle it? Go check this book out ASAP !!

The Bar Code Tattoo

Individuality vs. Conformity

Identity vs. Access

Freedom vs. Control

The bar code tattoo. Everybody's getting it. It will make your life easier, they say. It will hook you in. It will become your identity.

But what if you say no? What if you don't want to become a code? For Kayla, this one choice changes everything. She becomes an outcast in her high school. Dangerous things happen to her family. There's no option but to run...for her life.

This book begins very quickly and captures you till the very end. 
I found that you are able to understand how this book goes, if you think about it how far off are we from the bar code tattoo that not only tracks everything you do, but tells you things about your DNA and medical records that you dont even know yet? 
This book shows how we evolved from SSN, Drivers License, Credit cards- to future 2020-2025 where the have e-cards, which stored all their money- paper money no longer existed. Cell phones became a thing of the past since everything became electronic. The bar code tattoo became something that anyone who turned 17 would get, at first it wasn't mandatory, but that soon changed. The government was over taken by a company called Global-1 who ran everything from the food you put on your table to your money and even your health. The bar code tattoo was just suppose to store your banking, and ID you except it stored much more than anyone realized. 

Follow Kayla along her journey to resist the bar code tattoo and the group she joins called the decoders, watch as people she trust turn their back on her, stab her in the back, and even traitors among them. This story will stay with you and you will be rushing to read the next 2 books in the series, I am currently waiting for the other 2 books from the library. But i will be posting again soon !

After the Ending

Book Series #1

"The Virus spread. Billions died. The Ending began. We may have survived the apocalypse, but the Virus changed us.

When people started getting sick, "they" thought it was just the flu. My roommate, my boyfriend, my family...they're all gone now. I got sick too. I should have died with them--with the rest of the world--but I didn't. I thought witnessing the human population almost disappear off the face of the earth was the craziest thing I'd ever experience. I was so wrong. My name is Dani O'Connor, I'm twenty-six-years-old, and I survived The Ending.

The Virus changed everything. The world I knew is gone, and life is backwards. We've all had to start over. I've been stripped of my home, my dreams...all that is me. I'm someone else now--broken and changed. Other survivors' memories and emotions haunt me. They invade my mind until I can no longer separate them from my own. I won't let them consume me. I can't. My name is Zoe Cartwright, I'm twenty-six-years-old, and I survived The Ending.

We've been inseparable for most of our lives, and now our friendship is all we have left. The aftermath of the Virus has stranded us on opposite sides of the United States. Trusting strangers, making sacrifices, killing--we'll do anything to reach one another. Fear and pain may be unavoidable, but we're strong...we're survivors. But to continue surviving in this unfamiliar world plagued by Crazies and strange new abilities, we have to adapt. We have to evolve.

And more than anything, we have to find each other." 

First off this book captures you and keeps you until the very end- i wasn't sure i was going to enjoy this book but i ended up loving it, and buying the rest of the series to read!

Follow Dani as she watches the world around her end due to a "flu" virus that wipes out nearly everyone. The ones who survive the virus are changed- they have new abilities, some can feel each persons emotions, others can talk to animals, others can see peoples memories. They will each have to use their new abilities to survive what is left of the world. 

The other's who survived the virus and cant handle their abilities are losing their minds- there the crazies. And they will attack anyone they see. 

But how did the virus begin? Where did it suddenly come from that it is killing millions of people? Did someone start it or was it created by the government for something bigger? 

This is a crazy ride that you won't be able to put down or forget!
