The Program

Teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.

Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone, especially her parents or at school... If they think she's depressed for any reason shell be sent to the Program and be wiped clean. 
They call them the "returners" they dont remember anyone or anything from their past, they are new people, they dont even dress like themselves anymore... 

What is really going on in there? Sloane and her boyfriend James can't help but wonder as they have heard their friend Lacey who was taken to the Program 6 weeks ago is now back-- does she remember them? does she remember her boyfriend Miller? 

The 3 of them, Sloane, James, and Miller decide to go to the school where "the returners" have to attend, seeing as too much stimulus on their brains could cause total malfunction. They want to see if Lacey remembers them, sadly she does not... For Miller it becomes to much to take and ends his life....

Now Sloane and James have to not only carry on living like nothing is wrong, but have to hide the grief setting in from losing their friend. 
James can't take it and cant hide it anymore, the school notices, and his dad notices... They call the program and he's sent away. 
Now Sloane is left all alone-- she tries to carry on like nothing is wrong while inside she is dying.. She goes to the wellness center, which is a place for returners and non returners to "hang-out" in a safe place for them and everyone else. Except Sloane is there hoping to see James. One day he walks in and looks at her like she is a stranger.. To him she is nobody, they never had a past, and never loved her.
Sloane is unable to accept that and begins to fall apart, that night she screams at her parents and takes off- she is going to end her life but she can't go through with it... 

Fast forward: her mother calls the Program on her, sloane is sent to the Program, and she is wiped clean. The things that go on are unthinkable- you must voluntarily take the meds they give you or your forcefully injected- you talk about things you dont want to talk about- then after your given another med and stumble down the hallway to your bedroom. Where the handler that gives you the creeps is standing there with that creepy smile. Blackout... Wake up in your bed straped down, being told your a danger to yourself...Blackout... Wake up to the nurse telling you its time to eat. What happened to the creepy handler ? Did he rape you? 

I WONT GIVE AWAY TOO MUCH! But this is a must read for any suspense, sic-fi, young adult fan! A series and I'm currently reading the second book! Just as good!!

Dead and Delicious

This is a series, and number 5 in the series!

"Five things I learned while being a fallen angel zombie:
1. Duct tape works better than embalming.
2. Alopecia is not my favorite hairstyle.
3. Fried demons smell like bacon.
4. This brain breath is affecting my love life.
5. Nothing ruins a honeymoon like an apocalypse."

The book begins with Ash and her new husband Aiden being called moments after saying 'I DO" to fight the apocalypse. A witch named Lucia who Ash had banned to hell a while back in another book has managed to not only escape hell but open the sixth dimension of hell on earth!

We follow Ash and her husband through fighting dragons, zombies, demons, and oh being turned into a Zombie themselves! What a way for your new husband to be looking at you when your decomposing with maggots coming out of every opening possible.
They have to manage to stay alive long enough to kill  the witch, but they cannot succumb to their zombie nature of only saying "hungry" and eating humans.

I loved how easily this book moved and stayed with me, i loved how animated the author was and when you think of hell, the apocalypse, zombies and everything else in this book the author got it on point!
A very fun summer read with lots of humor, love and of course zombies!!



Condition Book 2

So this is the second book in the series, you don't have to read book one to follow this one but it helps!

In this book we get transported back into a time when war, nazi's and hitler still ran everything.
The most wanted Nazi in the world is hiding out in a small town, his name is now "uncle Joe" but no one knows who he really is. A young cop is sent there because he's told by his boss that the church is performing abortions and murdering young children. When the cop arrives at this small town, he finds that no one is being murdered but that the town's people, if you can call them that want to report a missing person.
We quickly learn that this "uncle Joe" has been performing horrible procedures on the children of the town, since every child has major facial deformities, along with growth issues.
As we continue throughout the story we learn more about his procedures, and what exactly was done to the children.

Now we fast forward to the year 2026, a miracle cure has began to take place for Alzheimer patients (remember book 1?) well now it is in full production, but many patients after being cured are taking the death with dignity act, which allows them to die whenever they wish. The scientist in charge of this who calls himself Sir John Savage, is working on curing more than Alzheimer patients, he is trying to rehab murder's, rapist, the worst of the worst. His partner has just been arrested for child porn, but he never looked, searched or downloaded child porn, so how did it get onto his computer?

Sir John Savage has what he hopes to be a solution to a lengthy prison sentence, he will perform this procedure to rehabilitate his work partner... Except after the procedure is done, he finds himself amazed by what was done, he can think faster, see the beauty in everyone and everything, do things beyond any human could ever dream.

Fast forward to 2027-2028 Sir John savage is arrested and the court is trying desperately to put him behind bars, except his sister arrives in the court and demands to him that he tell the court who he really is.... I can't ruin anything but it will blow your mind ! Worth the read if you were a fan of book 1 !!

Amber Sky

"You thought I did this out of the goodness of my heart?" He gave a short mirthless laugh. "Not a bit of it, this is going to be dangerous for me. What are you offering for my help?"

Beneath the Amber Sky, the nobility control the food, education, and the mysterious C.O.I.L.S of Copper and Brass. To Tay, struggling to keep her siblings alive, the ideas of rebellion and freedom are distant and unreachable. 

But when her father is arrested, she begs Darius James, the son of the Overseer, to save his life. Darius agrees, but his help costs her a favour, one he can call in at any time. 

Darius' favour will bring her to the Palace, and the perfect position to help the growing rebellion. But the court has games beyond anything she has seen before, and Darius' secrets will add to the danger.

Tay is now able to make a difference, to join the rebellion, find the C.O.I.L.S and discover the secrets of the Amber Sky. All she has to do is survive. (netgalley)

I found myself transported into another world, another time while reading this book. This story captures you and doesn't let go even when your on the last page!

You follow Tay along her journey, from being a poor girl trying to keep herself and her two siblings alive while her father has been sent to the mine to die. She is sent by his "friends" to a man named Darius who is higher in rank and power than anyone she has met before. He tells Tay that he will help but she must owe him something. When he calls that favor in she is transported into the world she only saw from servants eyes. 

Now playing royalty she has to encounter things she never knew existed, and face her fears as she comes across things only nightmares are made of! 

You will not be able to put this book down and will most likely end up reading it in a day! Enjoy it!! This is a series and sadly book two has not been released but i will be continuing with the series!

Lustmord: Anatomy of a Serial Butcher

One of the most gruesome and sickening books i have ever read!

As you can see from the cover of this book it has that typical "scary looking" clown wielding a butcher knife. When i first saw this and read the description i was thinking "Ok, no big deal, might be a little scary and messed up... nothing i can't handle...." YEAH RIGHT! i was so wrong with my first thoughts!
For one thing the very first page of the book is a warning- yes a WARNING page- pretty much read at your own risk, the author and publisher are not liable for any depression, suicidal thoughts, failed relationships, etc.. caused by reading this book.

This book is so sick and twisted i don't know anyone who would enjoy reading this.
Cecil Omar Biggs is the "clown" we see on the front cover- he is a serial killer/rapist but a true wolf in sheep clothing because he portrays him self as a bishop! We learn about his horrible childhood which has lead him down this murderous road into adulthood.

We only get a quick glimpse as to why he decided to become a bishop and open this so called "church", Supposedly one of his "victims" escaped after being held captive inside a coffin for 10 days... she pressed charges against him and he spent some time in jail to come out a new man supposedly.

Now in this church of Bigg's, it is not open to anyone, you have to have "special invite only" meaning unless he wants to kill and rape you, you will not be getting in.
He has "board members" down in the basement with his other victims, they are all either homeless, or mental patients that were released and had no where to go. But he calls them his board members for the government, because he gets a write off come tax season.

Now lets get to the part that turned my stomach--
The details used to describe the killing and torture went too far- i tried to disassociate myself by just keep saying it's only a book but that did not help.  Every time Bigg's captured a new victim we would hear about the gruesome details of how he went about raping them- if he could "get it up", then when he was threw with them how he would go about killing them, most of the time he took his chainsaw and cut them up into little pieces, then chopped the head off... This wasn't the hardest part to read though. No it was what he did with all the blood and body parts that will make you sick...

He and his "board members" would drink the blood of the victim, and the body parts? Well lets say they enjoyed that in the cooks famous Jambalaya, or Kebab. And anything they couldn't eat they would burn in the furnace.

The smell not only penetrated the house into the neighborhood, but it stuck in the walls of the house for anyone who walked in could smell it. It even stuck to them Bigg's and his partner Muck (who helped hi capture his victims and kill them).

The entire time reading this 10,000 page book i wasn't sure how they were going to end it, since it is only Book 1 of 2, but the ending was left with Bigg's bathing in a tub of blood from his most recent kill, and Muck throwing up because he aint "no vampire."

I will not be reading the second book, i couldn't wait to finish this one and i honestly want to forget about it veery quickly.
