Arc Review: Never Never by Brianna Shrum

Never Never by Brianna Shrum Published by Spencer Hill Press on October 5, 2015 Format: ebook Source: Free for Review, Netgalley James Hook is a child who only wants to grow up. When he meets Peter Pan, a boy who loves to pretend and is intent on never becoming a man, James decides he could try being a childÂ—at least briefly. James joins Peter Pan on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure created by childrenÂ’s dreams, but Neverland is not for the faint of heart. Soon James finds himself longing for home, determined that he is destined to be a man. But Peter refuses to take him back, leaving James trapped in a world just beyond the one he loves. A world where children are to never grow up. But grow up he does. And thus begins the epic adventure of a Lost Boy and a Pirate. This story isnÂ’t about Peter Pan; itÂ’s about the boy whose life he stole. ItÂ’s about a man in a world that hates men. ItÂ’s about the feared Captain James Hook and his passionate quest to kill the Pan, an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan. Except one. The most important thing you can ask yourself before reading this book is, “Do I like Peter Pan?”Â Brianna Shrum does a terrific job of following the plot […]

Arc Review: The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood

The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood Published by Nan A. Talese on September 29th 2015 Genres: Dystopian Format: ebook Source: Free for Review, Netgalley Buy on Amazon Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation aroundÂ—and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in . . . for six months out of the year. On alternating months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron prison system. Once their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their “civilian” homes. At first, this doesn’t seem like too much of a sacrifice to make in order to have a roof over one’s head and food to eat. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who lives in their house during the months when she and Stan are in the prison, a series of troubling events unfolds, putting Stan’s life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled. […]

SheÂ’s fun and energeticÂ—and doesnÂ’t know he has a baby. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep his two worlds separate.

Taylor Publishing on September 9th 2013 Genres: Fantasy & Magic Format: ebook Source: Free for Review, Netgalley Goodreads Normal people don’t believe their nightmares stalk them. They donÂ’t fall in love with boys who donÂ’t exist, either.Seventeen-year-old Layla Labelle, though, is far from normal. Her delusions walk the earth. Her hallucinations hunt her, and her skin heats to a burn every time her anger flares. Or is that all in her head? Layla doesn’t know what to believe any more because if none of thatÂ’s true, Max MacLarnon must be an illusion, and her heart must still be broken. No matter how much she wants to believe Max is real, doing so would mean everything else is, too. How, then, is that possible?
