Can Monsters Still Stalk in the Light?? Uh, YES.

Light by Michael Grant

January 14, 2016 by Melina Leave a Comment

I did it! Thanks to a double ear infection, a sinus infection  AND strep I was able to read this six book series in seven days.  It was a bumpy ride.  All the books were good, but they were all full of suffering, pain, death, murder, suicide, (a little bit of love) and not a whole lot of hope.  But I made it through them all and I’m glad that I did because this was a pretty solid series.  Book seven, Light, has a couple […]

Never Read Books About Plagues When You’re Sick

Plague (Book 4 of the Gone series) by Michael Grant

January 11, 2016 by Melina Leave a Comment

Don’t expect me to keep up this reading pace, I’m going to drop back soon, for sure. I decided not to grade anything and just read in bed, on the couch or wherever my kids would let me be sick and “semi-participate” in life while coughing, sneezing, and snorting.  So this is book four in the Gone series and while I’m enjoying reading these books, I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone if you’re having a bad go of things lately–you might smile for a second […]

Sh*t Just Got Real

Lies (Book 3 of the Gone series) by Michael Grant

January 9, 2016 by Melina Leave a Comment

Where I was feeling that perhaps after book two of this series I was going to let it go, I couldn’t without finding out what happens to the kids trapped in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone). I’m glad that I didn’t stop reading the series. This book surpassed book two by a mile…but man, did it get dark. I literally cannot talk about nearly any aspect of the plot without spoiling things from books one and two…I’ve tried three times to write this review, […]

Hungry Like the Coyote

Hunger by Michael Grant

January 5, 2016 by Melina Leave a Comment

Three months have passed since all of the adults have disappeared and the kids are struggling in the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone).  Everyone is starving through previous mismanagement of food and due to other creature evolution.  Let’s just say farming has just gotten a little bit more dangerous.  Tensions are building because Sam, doesn’t have the ability to solve everyone’s problems and is just as frustrated as everyone else because no one else seems to be coming up with any solutions to the numerous […]

And Poof! They Were Gone

Gone (Book 1 Gone series) by Michael Grant

January 4, 2016 by Melina 2 Comments

Book Bub loves to sell dystopian fiction at a discount price and therefore, I read a lot of dystopian literature when I’m too lazy to go to the library and/or hack into my mom’s Kindle account (note: I’m not actually hacking, she gives me permission, but it feels cooler when I say the word hack).  This book caught my attention though because Stephen King mentioned this series on twitter several times (and not in a “the publishing company gave me money for this blurb kind […]

Down in the Meat

BZRK Series by Michael Grant

February 1, 2015 by McM Leave a Comment

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and plan to re-read it. Nanotechnology, mind control, global domination, wheels within wheels, double crosses and the grotesque reality of the human body as ecosystem. Wonderful. BZRK is set in the near future. We start with Sadie and Noah, two kids from totally different worlds. Noah is hand-to-mouth in London, reeling from the loss of his big brother to mental illness. Sadie is wealthy in New York, on a date at Big Sporting Event. In one of the most interesting […]
