Stephanie Life of Determination

SYNOPSIS:       Rebecca stared hard into the darkness, barely able to make out the outline of the mountain from the light of the moon. She thought about what was behind that mountain. She knew who lived out that way. That was ranchland, worked by the parents of a boy she went to school with. He was a year older than her. Daniel Morgan. She didn't know him other than to recognize him in passing in the halls. He was one to notice. Jet black hair. Green eyes. Gentle smile. Tall and lean and just so perfectly muscular from helping on the ranch. But. He was off-limits. He was of a different social Tier, and those lines could not be crossed. Council was quite clear on this...       Rebecca glanced at her watch. It felt like she'd been waiting for much more than the three minutes that had passed since she first came to the window. 1:59 a.m. Her eyes shifted back to the darkness and the ghost of a mountain in the distance, just as a change started to occur. Jonathan was right... ​

Hamilton debuts the first book in a fast-moving trilogy: a dangerous tale of lost magic, unlikely heroes, and reawakened dragons. Once a member of the King's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevauvais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child.

SYNOPSIS After almost dying on Mars, astronaut Liz Anderson returns to Earth, but not to a hero’s welcome. America is in turmoil. The war is over, but the insurgency has just begun. So while life on Mars may have been deadly, at least up there she knew who the enemy was. Along with her, Liz has brought the remnants of the artificial intelligence that waged war on two planets. Buried somewhere deep within the cold electronic circuits lies the last vestiges of her dead partner Jianyu. Liz is torn, unsure whether he’s somehow still alive in electronic form or just a ploy by an adversary that will go to any length to win. Heartbroken and treated with suspicion, she finds herself caught up in the guerrilla war being waged on Earth, wondering if the AI threat is truly gone, or if it has only just begun.

SYNOPSIS SHADOW GROVE IS A PERFECTLY PLEASANT TOWN Shadow Grove isn't a typical town. Bad things happen here. Children disappear, one after the other, and nobody is doing anything about it. Parents don't grieve, missing posters don't line the streets, and the sheriff seems unconcerned. Seventeen-year-old Rachel Cleary lives on the outskirts of Shadow Grove, next to the creepy forest everyone pretends doesn't exist. Usually the forest is filled with an eerie calm, and unmistakeable graveyard solemnity. But the trees have started whispering, forgotten creatures are stirring and the night feels darker than ever. Something is stalking the residents of Shadow Grove, changing them into brain-dead caricatures of themselves. It's up to Rachel to find a way to stop the devouring of her hometown before all is destroyed and everyone she loves is forever lost.   PRE-ORDER LINK AMAZON   Praise for  THE NIGHT WEAVER "I have been searching high and low

MY BOOK REVIEW I love fantasy books. I was looking forward to reading Dance of Shadows. As I read I found I wish I read the first book of the series first.  I didn't know this was a series until I strated reading it.  I wish I knew it because it caused me to have a hard time getting into the story. I was missing alot of details.  I found the book to be very slow. It took me a while to get into the story, but it could be because I didn't read book one.   The book is full of actions and drama which keeps the readers' attention. There are so many characters. I kept getting confused on who is who. I wish they had a list of characters and their relationship to each other sort of the like the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" did.  A lot of the characters I found relatable. Each character has a mission. Battles are The story is mainly about good vs. evil.   We see battles beginning and the suspense of seeing who will survive.  Another thing I
