The Lovely and the Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is phenomenal. I need the second book because if that twist is true then the reunion is going to be interesting because that person has been presumed dead for the past 18 to 20 years. Oh, how to talk about this book without much spoilers. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book because it is like the book to read if you are in a slump. I cannot stop singing praises about this book it needs to be on any mystery/thriller fanatics shelf.
Kira, Cady, Jude, Mac (sweet, sweet Mac and his K9... his cadaver dog), Gabriel, Free, Cady's father, all of the characters work so well together and I cried when Silver died. This is not a spoiler, it becomes obvious the dog will die at some point because she is like 13 years old. it is just how the dog died... nope, when the dog died that had me doing ugly silently crying unless I want my family to wonder why I'm blubbering over a fictional dog, but Silver is not just a fictional dog.
Ugh, it is too fantastic to put into words. It felt so real like everything that was happening to Kira was happening to you as well. The setting is spectacular and have you seen that cover? It is one of those books that I cannot wait for the rest of the books to come out (if there are any more?) and have no regrets reading this book.
I learned a lot about search and rescue and dogs roles in them. Also, the twists in this book are killer like finding out who Jude's father is and who rescued Kira from a hunter's trap has me on the edge of my seat.
As Oliver Twist would say "Please, sir, I want some more" (Charles Dickens 30).
5 out of 5 stars.

Kingdom Cold by Brittni Chenelle
Kingdom Cold by Brittni Chenelle has incredible representation of characters, settings, and an gorgeous cover. I read it just for the cover and the description sounded intriguing. However, I had to DNF it because the characters were all so whiny and annoying. It was getting hard to tell who each character was anymore. Plus, there was some instalove going on which ruined the book for me.
I think the best part of the book is when Charlotte shot the arrow at the prince and he thought it was an ambush. I laughed so hard at that when I discovered it was just her no one else...
2 out of 5 stars.

End of the World= No Hope
Spoilers in this review read at your own discretion.
The Thirteenth Guardian by KM Lewis is beyond depressing. It is an excellent book even though the beginning was slow, it was just way too sad for me. First off, the character that we get told about in the description is rarely in there it is mostly the other four. Secondly, it is so nonchalant about all the deaths like oh over a million people died in about twenty minutes due to a tidal wave, let's go on to other people dying. Who cares about all the people dying when you can be told about more people dying. Oh, and let's not forget that almost all the marine life is most likely dead, but hey they can go fishing for fish. Umm, the red dust poisoned most of the waters, and the waters that were not poisoned are forming new landmasses unless I missed something. Thirdly, it wasn't as religious or biblical as I thought it would be and what was biblical was explained through science. Also, most of the description of the summary of the book did not happen until 98% of the book was done.
Spoilers:
All of North America is either drowned by water or covered in lava, and yet the two things they need are in North America. Does anybody else not see the issues with that?
2.5 out of 5 stars.
