A dark and gritty sci-fi, Zero Repeat Forever ended up being an addicting read. It was also a much slower read than I prefer, but I found Eighth and Raven's characters so compelling, so heart-wrenching at times (especially Eighth's) that I just had a hard time putting the book down.

Set in a future where environmental ruin has played havoc on Earth, author Erin Bow creates a darkly imaginative story where teens, known as the Children of Peace, are held hostage by an Artificial Intelligence determined to maintain peace at any cost. War and destruction are not an option.  

Ruthless is a fast paced, intense psychological thriller. An edge-of-your-seat experience that glues the reader to their book with breathless anticipation. Debut author Carolyn Lee Adams’s writing will hold you hostage until the last page. Unputdownable!

Today, I'm very excited to welcome my daughter Alex to the blog to share her first "official" review here on Book Swoon! We discovered this book when doing some shelf re-arranging and she decided to take on a review challenge. YAY! Please give her a warm welcome :)
