In the blink of an eye.

Everyone disappears.

Gone.

Everyone except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not a single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Gone, too, are the phones, internet, and television. There is no way to get help.

Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.

It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen and war is imminent.

The first in a breathtaking saga about teens battling each other and their darkest selves, gone is a page-turning thriller that will make you look at the world in a whole new way.

!1: Best Buy I've been looking for a series to get behind ever since Harry Potter ended and now I've found one! Heralded by such authors as Stephen King, GONE is one of the best books I've ever read.

What happens in a world where suddenly everyone over the age of 15 is GONE, Disappears without explanation? Who's left are children 14 and younger struggling to understand and survive in a world where they are now the rulers. In a world where some are discovering and developing strange and superhuman, sometimes deadly powers. Where animals mutate into terrifying creatures that defy explanation. Where the very laws of nature and science are turned upside down. What happens to the Bully? The Brain? The Reluctant Hero? The Optimistic? The Cruel? The Wiz Kid? The Average Joe? The Pretty Girl? The Opportunist? The Caregiver and more? What happens will astound and chill you to the bone.

Michael Grant does not shrink back from showing us the horror in a world gone mad. In world where children rule. Who will survive and what happens when you turn 15?

GONE is the first in a six part series that will change the way we look at our children and the world around us. on Sale!

She is the last of her kind...

It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. In King City, the young King Nash is clinging to the throne, while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. War is coming. And the mountains and forest are filled with spies and thieves. This is where Fire lives, a girl whose beauty is impossibly irresistible and who can control the minds of everyone around her.

Exquisitely romantic, this companion to the highly praised Graceling has an entirely new cast of characters, save for one person who plays a pivotal role in both books. You don't need to have read Graceling to love Fire. But if you haven't, you'll be dying to read it next.

!1: Best Buy Fire was phenomonal, there's no other way to put it! Starting with page 1, it drew you in, leaving you entranced with Fire's world. Once again, Kristin Cashore draws up an outstanding world, just outside of the one we encounter in Graceling. Graceling was outstanding, and when reading Fire I wasn't sure what to expect. Fire surpassed all my expectations and then some.

All the characters were very 3-D, which added a lot to the novel. Fire was such a great character, her past was revealed as part of the story. So you not only got what was going on now, but also what happened in the past. All the characters really draw you in with their emotions, and that's a big part of the novel. I loved the romance between Fire and Brigan, it was slow building, but it stuck out at readers like a red hot poker.

The fact with the "monsters" that was really great was that monsters had the same effect on everyone and the effect wasn't gender specific. In most novels, it's the female character that gets people to do their bidding, but in Fire Fire's father had people groveling to do his will.

Definately a must read! (Though make sure to read Graceling before you read Fire, or you ruin Graceling.)

“It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born.”

First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.

As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he’s done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered apocalypse. He is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors. But for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey—spanning miles and decades—towards the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun.

With The Passage, award-winning author Justin Cronin has written both a relentlessly suspenseful adventure and an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger. Its inventive storytelling, masterful prose, and depth of human insight mark it as a crucial and transcendent work of modern fiction.

!1: Best Buy I took a road trip down the west coast from Seattle to San Francisco and needed something to pass the time. I settled on Justin Cronin's The Passage. It is a rare feeling to read a book that is 766 pages long and after a quarter of the way into it, find myself wishing that it was much longer. Thankfully this is book one of a trilogy, and if The Passage is any indication of what's to come then the future, for this particular fantasy, looks bright.

The Passage is a large scale adventure epic that is so ambitious it spans over one thousand years and portrays a future where humanity has been whittled away to a few scattered colonies that are forced to exist under a veil of unending light in order to keep the ravenous, blood thirsty, virals who have taken over North America at bay.

Justin Cronin has created a world that is part The Stand, part The Road Warrior and part Dawn of the Dead. He uses a literary prose to place the reader into the heart of the action and keep them there until the final conclusion that, although predictable at times, nevertheless, leaves the reader satisfied and hungry for more.

To be critical, Cronin sometimes packs the second and third acts full of characters that, although are interesting and crucial to the plot, tend to suffer from a lack of development. He likes to tease the reader with appealing background stories only to dispose of the character in the next few chapters. A couple of times he even pulls the old fake death trick (killing a person off in one chapter only to bring them back in the next). It leaves the reader feeling exasperated and runs the risk of giving the text a kind of soap opera element to it.

Overall, however, The Passage delivers. It is fast paced, well written and extremely ambitious. Justin Cronin has created a man made, mythical future where humankind is no longer at the top of the food chain. Where the fate of the world rests in the hands of a mysterious little girl who doesn't age and everything that has occurred is being reviewed over one thousand years into the future by some mysterious global agency. The Passage is a fun ride that keeps the pages turning, from its gripping opening scene to its satisfying climax. Trust me, the moment you open the book you'll forget about its 766 page length.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella (Twilight Saga)

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.

!1: Best Buy I raced through this companion novella to the incredibly popular Twilight series. This was a very enjoyable, fun read. What I liked about it best, was that it returned (or so it initially appears) to have a more traditional take on vampires. Bree Tanner, a down-on-her-luck juvenile delinquent, has no idea what's in store for her when a friendly stranger offers her a meal. Before she realizes what is going on, she finds herself turned into a vampire. Told that she must remain out of sunlight, she believes all of the traditional mythology. Crazed by a powerful bloodlust unique to newly made vamps, and possessed of a fierce will to survive amongst the combative and dangerous nest of fellow newborns, it never occurs to Bree to test out any of the information she's been given. She ekes out an existence by keeping herself in the shadow of "Freaky Fred," a fellow newborn whose special talent is the ability to create a repellent aura around himself.

Deeply distrustful of their leader Riley's story that they will be safe during daylight hours due to a rare celestial alignment but not knowing where else to turn, Bree reluctantly joins the newborn army for their ill-fated march to Forks, WA.

In theme and content, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner reminded me very much of a lighter, faster-paced version of M.T. Anderson's dystopian vampire novel, Thirsty. If only Bree had put two-and-two together a little faster. If only she'd been slightly less incapacitated by her thirst for blood. If only her sire, or another vampire had taken her under their wing. A wily survivor, she had so much potential, particularly if the Cullens had been allowed to adopt her into their vegetarian clan. If only.

The book races at breakneck speed to its inevitable conclusion. With deftly-handled parallel storylines, this short novel packs much more dramatic punch than the rest of the series (particularly the turgid Breaking Dawn) and will be considered essential reading by many Twilight fans, yet is easily accessible even to those unfamilar with the series. on Sale!
