Between the awesome cover and the synopsis of Undertow by Michael Buckley, I knew that I had to try this young adult science-fiction fantasy. The first in the Undertow trilogy Buckley did an excellent job of drawing me in and introducing an ocean-dwelling race that has invaded the shores of Coney Island. From prejudice to romance and despite some issues I quickly became caught up in this descriptive, fast-paced tale.
Today on Recipe and a Book Recommendation I have a recipe requested after I posted our dinner on Instagram. Chicken Florentine & Farfalle is a simple one pan recipe that will bring your family running to the table. Served with a side salad and garlic bread it is the perfect Spring/Summer meal. I am also excited to be sharing Kim Harrison’s novel The Drafter set to release in September of 2015. Grab a caffeinated beverage and enjoy. Bon Appetit!
Disobedience by Alvania Scarborough is the first novel in the Harker’s Hell series. It is an intriguing blend of science fiction and romantic suspense. I found myself completely caught up in its Old West world and historical romance vibe. A simmering romance, humor and a mystery threaded throughout the tale had me flipping the pages. Fresh, original and genre bending Scarborough gave me one heck of an adventure.
Genocide of One by Kazuaki Takano was an exciting thriller complete with covert missions, secrets, action and raises question about humankind. Suspenseful, thought provoking and at times extremely dark, I was held spellbound as the narrator, Joe Knezevich, brilliantly brought the characters and action to life.
I was intrigued by the premise of The Walled City by Ryan Graudin and when an opportunity to review the audio edition presented itself, I jumped at the chance. Powerful, beautifully written and compelling this story kept me up until the wee hours of the morning.
