Dior is the nickname of someone who is going to get revenge on the Wolves. Not a smart move, but she’s doing it for her family. For the brother she never got to meet. For the uncle that was killed.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The Crown of Stones is an amazing book. It had me hooked from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down.

Ian has come back to find that everything is different. He has to come to terms with everyone being gone or doing something else. He finds that he’s got to come to terms with his destiny. The quote I chose for Ian is: “Liel called her release complicated. Neela didn’t want to talk about it. What’s going on Malaq? Where is Elayna?”

Highly recommended for Dark Fantasy lovers.

Fractured World: Courage in the Apocalypse Collection

This is the first book collection I’ve read like this. Each story is different. Each author is amazing. I will be looking forward to the next collection. Babysitter of the Apocalypse by Courtney Konstantin was the story that stuck out the most.

Vicki is left by herself. Zombies are everywhere and there’s not a safe place left. Her neighbor drops off her kids one day and never returns. Now Vicki is left with two kids. The quote I chose for Vicki is: “Ok Gabby, today is the day we talked about. We’re leaving today. There’s too many bad people in the building now.”

Highly recommended for Sci-fi Action lovers.

Destiny’s Daughter (Intimate and Unfiltered Memoirs) by Lynda Filler

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. This is a Memoir which means it’s about the author about the author. So I was very happy to see it from an actual person’s point of view.

Lynda sounds like a fun person to be around. Even if she reminds me of my grandmother. Something I haven’t felt in a long time. I got to enjoy life from an elders point although I can’t really see Lynda being as old as she is. I couldn’t choose a quote for her, but everything in this book is quote worthy.

Highly recommended for Inspirational Memoir lovers.
