Seeker by Glenn S. Robertson

 In the not so distant future, a plague will ravage America. People will band together to survive, and others will find wicked ways to survive.


There is a lot going on in Seekers. The story changes between current events and the past that led to the fall of America. The back and forth is done quite well. I didn’t have a problem keeping up with the story, never a confusing part of the story.

The diary and journal entries of the future and the story itself gives a fantastic insight into the past and current events. Which also gives us a look at the emotional and physical toll the Red Plague has on people. The pain and turmoil an individual went through and is surviving the plague. When you think about it… it’s a scary possibility.

The story is about a community coming together to keep their little town safe from evil people. The main character, while a hero, also has his inner demons that do play a heavy part in his decisions. Decisions that have dire consequences.

The character development is one of the best I have read. I became invested in the survival of the main characters. Well… there is one person who I can’t relate to. That would be King John. King John is this douche canoe that wants to rule his kingdom with an iron fist. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Andrew, aka Ghost, wants nothing to do with him until John tries to invade the settlement that Ghost is staying at.

Lots of nonstop action. There is deception, betrayal, friendships built, for one character - a coming of age. Religious cults, cannibals, and survivors.

Overall, an enjoyable, fast-paced story. It met all the enjoyable points I have for a dystopian novel. A conclusion that closes perfectly without any cliffhangers. But also keeps the idea of a second book open.

  Thank you #NetGalley and author #LuluMayo for sending me a copy of this fantastic book 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw!! This is such a cute book!

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

The Deading by Nicholas Belardes

 This is genuinely a wonderful story. The Deading is one of the best pieces of literary horror I have read. It guides you through so many emotions and inner demons of all the characters. From the young to the old, The Deading highlights the differences of what age and time can do to change the strengths and compassion of an individual. While priorities are always different when we grow older, the basic need to survive and to be loved… never changes. Belardes reminds us that even though we have faults, we are each unique and have the capabilities to survive difficulties and come out stronger and better.  This is a strong character-driven narrative with some ornithology, creature features, and suspense. Under the watchful eye of the government, a small sea-side town tries to survive an infliction upon them. The people are changing. The once quiet and calm town has become a ruthless and dangerous community. The anxiety and stress of living in this changed town takes a toll on so ...
