EXCERPT of the week from Animal Graph:

Still, a different kind of beast lurks a few meters from Adan to the left. I whisper in a shout. “Over there!” Suddenly, it jumps toward us and backward, just to repeat this pattern again. Startled, Ostir flips around and watches intensely, her eyes squinting in the darkness. My vision zeros in on the miniature, brave creature with tiny pointed teeth and short, sharp claws. The creature reminds me of a howler monkey; the reverberating screech is almost deafening, and makes me tense as if I’m surrounded by the worst kind of foe, something mythical. But this animal has no hair or fur, and its eyes—oh, God, its incredible eyes are too large to miss. Like boulders on clay, the Burned howler stares at me, straight into me, as if it can read my Graph. 

      1.SPOTLIGHT Author/Book for the Week

The Genesis of Evangeline  for just .99c. 

"An intriguing mix of romance, fantasy, and heart-pounding action."

"I love Evie. She's a fighter, but it's her kind heart I adore the most. And the boys ... don't even get me started on them! Too many book boyfriends to choose from here. I can't wait for the next installment in this series! I need to know what happens. Five fantasy stars from me." --Jaymin Eve, USA Today bestselling author of the "Supernatural Prison" series.

"This book is a wild ride of fun, adventure, and magic!"

"It's like nothing I've read before and everything I didn't know I was craving!" --Ashley Gallegos, author of "Last Chance Baby" and "The Houseboat"; founder of Indie Book Connect Subscription Box.

Summary: 

Wolves. Dragon shifters. A fallen kingdom destined to rise again.

Evie Callahan is positive there's something strange going on in Seaton Falls, her new home. The locals are bigger, stronger, and faster than most. That includes Nick, the boy next door who's become her silver lining in this godforsaken town.

She wants to trust her instincts--about Nick, about what she suspects in Seaton Falls--but rumors of wolves and dragon shifters makes it hard to tell what's real. With a history of odd dreams and the nagging sense that she's never belonged, Evie fears she's losing touch with reality. Her concern only grows when someone who's haunted these dreams is suddenly tangible... and claims to hold the key to unlocking her true identity.

AUTHOR: Rachel is a native Michigan with a passion for writing.

REVIEW OF EMERGE by Heather Sunseri

So, I read a lot of books because I have a Kindle Unlimited subscription to Kindle. Many books I end up swimming or lose interest in a quarter of the way through, but I enjoy the service to give me a taste of what's out there.

I came across EMERGE by Heather Sunseri and I thought it would be the typical post-apocalyptic story, about yet another virus. Well, it is about a virus, but the story is good so I actually read it. 

Told from two point of view, the main character Cricket, or Christina, is easy to like and tough which is a relief from the damsel in distress we get even in this genre. She lives on the outside. 

West lives on the inside, and they are connected by a shared past. The story has a touch of romance, but is mostly about the contrast between these two people, their lives and the lives of those from the outside vs the inside. 

(I have this theme in my book Simulation as well) 

The story is written well and the plot adds a bit of a mystery, while also having the element of grit and apocalypse. I do like it and wanted to recommend it to readers who are looking for something else in the post-apocalyptic genre. 

I give it 4 1/2 stars, out of 5.
