The Adjustment

Program #5

The Program has been shut down, the handlers are gone, no more pills to stop memories.. Sounds perfect right? But what happens to those that went to the program? Or those who only went partially through it...

We follow Tatum, and her boyfriend Weston as they go on this journey together.
Weston was taken through the program, and completed before they shut down. Now he just returned to their school- since everything run under the program even the school was shut down. Now everyone is back in public school together, except Weston doesn't remember the love of his life Tatum.
Tatum decides she is not going to give up on him and will do everything in her power to get him to remember her and their love, a new therapy is being rumored to work,, The Adjustment.

Tatum and Weston decide to try the Adjustment, when they go to meet the doctor, a Dr. Mckee and his assistant Marie, they feel the pros outweigh the cons, and begin the adjustment.

Tatum will donate her memories through a series of truth serum, and electrodes attached to her, then once the memory is captured it is configured and transferred to Weston. The two of them go through 3 our of 4 Adjustments before Weston starts telling Tatum things don't feel right, his head and heart are at war, emotions dont make sense with the memory...

Could Tatum be lying about the memories of them and the emotions that went with them, or was something else going on entirely?

Random people begin showing up throughout Weston and Tatum's life, people they never spoke to before, and ever since the first Adjustment Tatum is experiencing headaches and nose bleeds, memory crash backs... How can this be for someone who never went through the Program?

A sinister plot twist takes place that leaves you in awe.. There is one more book in the series and sadly won't be released until 2018!!! There are so many twist and turns throughout this series, each page leaves you wanting more!

The Epidemic

The Program #4

In a world before the Program, Quinn helps people close out their grief. She can mimic anyones actions, speech, smell, everything about that person. Someone close to you died young? Then call the grief department and they will send in a closer to help you say goodbye and get past that part of the grief process so you can begin to heal and move on with your life...

In this last book we were left with Quinn hunting down Arthur to find her identity, In this book Quinn continues her search and finds Arthur's daughter Virginia is in connection with this. Every person Virginia comes into contact with dies, why? Is she the reason the program began or did it begin even before that?

Quinn learns why she can't remember her mom, or anything about her life before she became Quinn. She was sent in to help Tom (her dad) close out Quinns life, but Tom and Marie had different plans, and instead of using this child to help close that gap they turned her into Quinn. Now she is on the run from the grief department because she violated her contract, and they are taking all closers and transitioning them into Handlers.

We follow Quinn and Deacon on their journey to find Virginia, and Arthur the reason all this is happening. Along the journey we find more about what happened to Quinn, how Arthur has used memory manipulation on her, and she is his patient zero. Now he thinks that memory manipulation worked great and begins experimenting on his daughter Virginia. Except his daughter is stronger than he thought and she's remembering things he made her forget. She feels empty, a shell without a soul. One night Quinn is acting as her "friend" they go to a high school party where Virginia goes off and talks to a friend, Micah. While Quinn is standing  by watching everyone she notices a young boy Roderick standing alone in the corner acting off. He's the host of the party yet he isn't enjoying one second of it, just the previous week his girlfriend was sent into the mental institution and they dont think she will be let out. Quinn watches in horror and unable to act quick enough as Roderick walks to the balcony and jumps. Quinn and Virginia race out of there, before Virginia leaves she tells Quinn to remind  her of tonight if she forgets.

Virginia forgets Quinn, forgets Roderick and soon Micah as well, sadly it seems every one that is friends with Virginia is dying. Why? Is it a virus or is she saying something to them. Meanwhile Arthur is setting his plans in motion to begin the Program, every one under 18 is mandated to attend and be cleansed. Arthur has no idea how badly he is messing his daughter up, he doesn't want to see that every time he is taking a little more of her away.

One night they are hiding out, waiting for Virginia after a meltdown at a Volleyball game, she screamed that she remembered everything and was taken away by her father. Quinn knows she can't leave Virginia behind- so they see her and take her away to talk. Arthur knows who took his daughter, and tells Marie (their advisor) if they dont return his daughter he will issue an Amber Alert.

Deacon has left the motel where they are hiding to get the truth from Marie, but it has been hours, and now Marie called and never mentioned Deacon being there, just that she needs her best closers to come over ASAP.
Quinn, Aaron, Reed, Shep and Tabitha are suppose to be there..Except only Quinn, Read, Aaron and Shep are there. Shep is quickly dismissed by a envelope full of money, we find out that he was comprimsed and is a handler. Tabitha "tabby" is missing, deacon is missing. Arthur? We dont know yet but think so. Quinn and Aaron listen to Marie when she tells them to hide, Arthur is coming and so is the Program. They leave and watch in horror as Reed has been different ever since dropping off Virginia.

Reed can't take what Virginia told him, how she knows what her father has been doing to her, how he's taking away her memories and making her into a new person. He will be doing this to everyone. Reed only has one person he ever cared for and it was his late Girlfriend Katy. (she passed sometime before the book.) He couldn't take not remembering her ever, so before Arthur came with the Program Reed takes his life in the bathroom of the motel while Quinn slams and screams at him from the other side of the door.
Quinn and Aaron are the only ones left, and they are going to do one dumbass plan, go straight to Arthur.

What will happen? Will they escape with Deacon or will the Program take them?

**Remember Tabby and Shep from the first book? This is where it all began for them..."

But to do her job successfully, she can’t get attached.

Now seventeen, Quinn is deft at recreating herself, sometimes confusing her own past with those of the people she’s portrayed.

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.

Ok so in this book we learn how Ash died, we meet her Grim and the perks and downfalls of being dead.

Ash is picked up by her Grim reaper, he tells her she's being sent to the top, she must have been a pretty good person during her life to be sent straight to heaven.

But her dream life their is quickly taken away when Grim comes back and tells her there has been an error and she was suppose to be on Level 2 not the penthouse, so "god" is being nice and allowing her on Level 13...
We learn all about level 13 throughout the book- and her new job as a "ghoster" and her new found love in Grim.

This was a quick, easy, fun read. Can't wait to start the second book !

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 !!
