Tilt is a book with a lot going on. Annie is heavily pregnant and is at IKEA looking for a crib for her baby (Bean). She can’t find what she wants, and after an argument with the Ikea worker, she finds herself buried under a pile of the building due to a catastrophic earthquake. After the Ikea worker lets her out (she clearly doesn’t hold a grudge), Annie starts the long and dangerous walk to find her husband.

On the way, she reflects on her life, telling Bean the stories of her disappointments, buried ambitions, loves and hopes for the future (getting home, mainly!). It’s a long, hot, dangerous walk home for anyone, let alone a heavily pregnant woman. The catastrophic circumstances are vividly described, including the death of a woman, the lack of fresh drinking water, the abandoned cars and the desperation to keep her baby, herself and her husband safe.

It puts a lot of things into perspective for her and in a way, encourages the reader to look at what’s important in their lives (ok, that might just be me).

This is a gripping, unputdownable read/ listen, and Ariel Blake, the narrator, sounded perfect as Annie. Not that I necessarily needed this book being brought to life - it’s scary!

Bait by Jade West
A stranger online. Dark hair and even darker eyes that knew my dirty desires before I did.
A fantasy that should never be spoken. But he pulled the confession from me.
And now he’s coming for me.
Rough. Dirty. Dangerous.
It’s supposed to be one night to get me off and make me forget.
He’ll make me his and I’ll pretend I don’t want him to.
I’ll run and he’ll chase.
Because I asked him for this.
I begged him for this.

Tonight, in the darkness, he’s the hunter.
And I’m the bait.

It's so funny (2 more)
It uses humour to make light of such an awful situation
It shows the importance of relationships when in such a dangerous situation.
It's only 3 series :( (1 more)
The ending has been left open ended, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!!
A funny take on a serious matter
I like this because it is based on something that people actually do. Even though they make light of the situation they find themselves in, it really helps you understand what people in the Army go through, the danger they are in every day, the sheer bravery and the emotional impact it has on them.

Darien Frey may have let his crew into a bit of trouble when going for an ancient relic. Now Frey is cursed and his only hope is his crew: a former slave, a half-mane who battles with her deamon side, a deamonist running from his past, an over cocky pilot, a drunk surgeon, and a fraidy-cat pilot that jumps at shadows. This captain is good at getting into trouble and better at ousting dangerous secrets.
I love the chapters in this book they have a small summery usually with three to four small descriptions and it's not always what you think.

Just Because
The final book in the MILA trilogy. Great series overall for young adults. Fair warning though the ending is both touching and sad, defiantly worth the time it takes to read it.

MILA knows who and what she is but feels she needs to redeem herself for things done in her past. She makes it her personal goal to set out and stop General Holland once and for all. Sadly she has to make many tough decisions in the process of protecting the world from dangers no one knows are there, really how dangerous can an American teenager be?
