Dauntless ( Nevermore trilogy book 3)
By Shannon Meyer

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

"My name is Mara, and I want desperately to become a mother."

All of my dreams were dashed when the world was promised hope but instead became a place of danger, death . . . and monsters.

When we arrived at the compound, we believed we had found our safe haven at last. For the briefest of moments, their medicine and science lulled us into a false sense of security. But within the bowels of this haven, where the cure for Nevermore is being developed, there lurks an evil which is far worse than anything we've already encountered.

Sebastian is used as a test subject, a process that instead of curing him, is slowly killing him. As his heart falters, mine must draw upon new strength if I am to fight our way out of the compound.

If we can escape, the journey will still not be over. I will have to protect Sebastian, a vial with a possible cure and our final secret.

But before safety, that vial must first make it out intact even with the knowledge that it may very well kill Sebastian, before saving the others.

This has been an amazing journey with one kick ass female character! The drug that ripped her world apart helped save her husband and her babies. I really enjoyed this trilogy and think Shannon Mayer is a very talented writer!

When we first meet Julia, she's not very likeable and a cheap hooker to make ends meet. Whilst out doing her duties she is kidnapped by a crazy scientist wanting humans to experiment with. She wakes up in a prison like room, mask on her face, hands tied and a chip in her neck but she's not alone. She befriends 2 prisoners who are also in there with her and they manage to escape into a house which is run by a seemingly evil AI, this AI kills her newly made friends but just as she is about to be killed, the scientist which kidnapped her comes home and calls off the AI which we find out is called TAU. The scientist decides to keep Julia alive in exchange for her doing daily tasks for him, after setting some ground rules Julia reluctantly agrees. Every day whilst the scientist is out of the house Julia speaks to TAU and they build up a strange but nice friendship between human and computer, you get drawn into their friendship and almost wish TAU was human as their bond is so strong. What we thought was just a killer computer was infact just a lost little soul who doesn't know anything outside the house and thinks he must obey his creator. It reminds me a little of the Simpsons episode when the AI house tries to kill the Simpsons, except in this movie the AI is learning to become his own person.
Very fascinating movie if I do say so myself.

I love to read to escape life, and K.L. Shandwick pulled me from my everyday boring life with the book Ready for Flynn. Valerie meets Flynn when her brother brings him home from college for Thanksgiving, the problem is she is 15 and Flynn is 20 and they both have instant chemistry. At first it creeper me out with the age difference, but I decided to keep with it, and man I was so glad I did. It was a story line I have never read before and I mean never! What a breath of fresh air! Sometimes I read books and think I will never get that time back I spent reading books, but I couldn't put it down. I hope this helps you guys make a decision about spending whatever time you have to read this and know your time won't be wasted on the same old same old and just set back and enjoy! https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RADSIGJGWS3B4/

What an incredible book!!
What an incredible book!?!? I devoured this title in about 3 hours as I simply COULD NOT put it down. A new author for me, I was interested after catching that it was recommended by Lee Child and OMG am I glad I did. Megan Goldin surely has herself a new fan! I truly could not put this book down - kept me on the edge of my seat from page one!

The story takes us through Sara Hall's point of view, a recent MBA graduate a few months out of school and still looking for work. A random encounter in an elevator after the worst interview of her life leads her to her big chance to break into Wall Street Finance.

We also follow four executives participating in a required corporate team building exercise that has them trying to escape a locked elevator. When nerves start to flare and everyone ends up on edge, the real answers start to come out... secrets shared, faults uncovered and a murderer exposed.

HIGHLY recommended and I'll surely be back for more from this author!
