The Founder is the fourth book in the Broken World series, but this book takes you on a different route than the previous three. In this one, Skye is by herself, not knowing if she will ever see Brennan again. Instead of running away from the enclave, she is running towards it. She is searching for her mother and will do whatever it takes to get answers. This book certainly has a different dynamic to the others - don't get me wrong, I love Skye. It was just a bit strange to only hear about her and not Brennan too. Instead, Skye manages to get a small group of friends, none of whom know who she really is, whilst she is searching for her mother.

This is one heck of a book, with more twists and turns than a maize maze! There were some parts that were quite technical, but my husband was fascinated when I read them out to him, so I guess it's just not my strong point! Instead, I found the interpersonal relationships intriguing, especially when one of Skye's creche-mates turns up.

This is part of a series, so it does you no good to read this as a standalone. You need to have read the others for it to make sense. However, there were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow, and the pace and integrity of the characters are just what I have come to expect from Dean Murray. Ending on a cliffhanger, it will definitely leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended by me.

Amria ( cursed book 2)
By Meg Anne & Jessica Wayne

She loved him, and he was going to die.Skye Giovanni's visions have always felt like a curse, but never more so than now. Plagued with nightmares of a future she cannot escape, Skye must do the impossible: stop fate in its tracks.Detective Lucas MacConnell has never met a case he couldn't crack. But one night at an art gallery changed everything, throwing him headlong into the war path of an ancient Druid.Now they're hiding out in Scotland, hoping to stay out of sight long enough to find what they need to stop the Druid once and for all.Unfortunately their names are at the top of his kill list, and the only way to get off is to get him first.

Oh I loved this more than the first one. The foursome head to Scotland. Not as much action in this one but the story building was just so good! I had already worked out the revelations that they uncover but it was still really good reading them! The relationship building was also so well done and not in your face. Wonder where pope has taken Skye.
