Hush And Crush by S.L Baum... the second and third to Lush.

Hush by S.L Baum

What a way to follow up to a slow first book. This one was a super quick read, didn't even take me a full day to read it.
Society as they know it is quickly unravelling. This book is much quicker and way more enticing than the first I must say, so I'm glad I kept reading. I'm a little disappointed in the predictability to this series but it would probably be a great read for the younger "young adults".

Crush by S.L Baum

...... I am severely upset... ok maybe not... but I am sad that this last book in the series was a fumble. It felt rushed, predictable, unrealistic. The characters and feel that was found in the second book was quickly lost in translation. It had so much potential and it was as if the author didn't want to write anymore and quickly came up with an end... it wasn't fitting... and I'm sorry to say I will not approve the series any further.

Lush with Life? Or A Flushed Waste of Time?!?!?!

Lush by S.L Baum



If you enjoy a game of chess... or a trudge up a hill to get to the climax of a story, well it'll be worth it. This book doesn't get to the grit and grime that grabs you and sucks you in until the middle/end but once it does there's no turning back.
Life is planned. Thought out. Everything is strategically planned from the moment you are born. Not everyone can raise children so after there fourth year the government does it for them. Perfect citizens upholding the beliefs of the government. Sounds so perfect.
Nothing is ever perfect my friends.
This book will end up capturing you in the mystery and suspense of our main character Bluebell and have you onto its sequel at three a.m. Or that could just be me.
A slow go but a good dystopian series thus far.
Other than the drawn out beginning there isn't much to complain about. A little condescending in the way it's written sometimes, as if the reader isn't that smart... and a bit predictable but it's a chance you take reading young adult novels. All in all I'll give it my stamp of approval and we'll see how the second one goes.

Successful? Or An Epic Failure?!?!

Hover by Melissa West:

Ari is now part alien and en route to save both the humans and the Leogans. Between the physical and emotional struggles through this thriller you won't be able to put this compelling sequel to Gravity down.
*Mind over matter*
Will she ever succeed this cliff hanging story and be reunited with her family and friends back on earth?????
The 3rd book is pre-ordered and now all I have to do is patiently wait.....

Is it December yet?!?!?!??!?
