Even though I write Regency romance, I really enjoy a good, unique dystopian or post-apocalyptic story.
This story featured many of the tropes that I typically look for but with a twist that I didn’t see coming. I don’t want to give anything away, but I was left hungering for the next book in the series!
Pride and Prejudice meets Matched in this stunning dystopian debut.
Aston lives in a post-apocalyptic world divided by blood...
Royal recipients reside on one side of the wall, desperate for blood donations to survive. Donors live on the other, surrendering their blood to combat poverty.
For Aston, a donor, the only way out of the slums is to bleed-or marry well.
Only Aston wants more than to enter the hyped-up blood auction balls with their glistening ball gowns and flashing news reports, to marry a sleazy suitor with the highest blood count for convenience, or to live a life where…
I love reading unique variations of Pride and Prejudice, and this was no exception. The relationship between Bingley, Elizabeth, and Mary is beautiful, and Elizabeth’s tender care for Darcy’s child is touching.
There are some heavy themes in this story, but that’s how I prefer my books – to have some angst but also some depth and true character development.
Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy is ill-equipped for the undertaking ahead of him. He is to woo Miss Elizabeth Bennet while disguising his purpose—for they are secretly betrothed!
The marriage contract, signed fifteen years ago, was conceived during the Bennets’ summer interlude at Pemberley. William and Lizzy became fast friends, and their shenanigans delighted the household. At summer’s end, the pair parted, an annual letter exchange the only communication between their families.
With only three months until they must wed, Darcy enlists his family and friends to win Elizabeth’s heart and favour. Hilarity and endearing moments abound as Darcy draws upon his…
As always, Bobby Akart’s books are filled with scientific data to back up his post-apocalyptic scenarios. In this case, a solar flare wipes out North America’s power grid, leaving several main characters stranded in NYC and trying to make their way back home to their farm.
Along the way, friendships are developed, and enemies are made. Unlike so many other similar tropes, this series brings in the science and shows the realities without resorting to over-the-top gore, profanity, or monologues.
It began as a spectacle like no other. They called it the Night of the Northern Lights - a phenomenal light show generated by the power of the sun. It ended in a powerless world thrust into chaos.
International bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, delivers up-all-night thrillers to over a million readers in 245 countries and territories worldwide.
"Bobby Akart is a genius at creating disaster scenarios."
This new survival thriller series thrusts North America into darkness beginning with the most dynamic city on Earth, New York. The city was filled with excitement as the news…
In April 1815, the volcano Mount Tambora erupted in Indonesia. It affected the climate so that in 1816, there was cold and snow throughout the summer worldwide.
How would Pride & Prejudice be different if it had erupted 10 years earlier, drastically altering the climate worldwide? Would Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy still find one another in a year when summer never came?
This book teaches me about all of the different types of eggs in the world. Some eggs are big, and some are small. They are all really beautiful and interesting.
Did you know some are even shaped like tubes?
I learned a lot about eggs from this book, and the pictures are really cool! I like to look at them and learn.
A beautifully simple introduction to eggs of all kinds; from tiny hummingbird eggs to giant ostrich eggs, from fossilised dinosaur eggs to gooey fish eggs, it's an entirely fresh look at the familiar.Attractive and informative, this will find a home in classrooms and Easter baskets alike. Now in paperback!
I think it would be really neat to go live in a boxcar for a while, like the Boxcar Children did. They got to have adventures and could do whatever they wanted without grownups telling them what to do.
Even after their grandfather found them, they still get to solve lots of cool mysteries.
Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are brothers and sisters. They're orphans too, and the only way they can stay together is to make it on their own. When the children find an abandoned boxcar in the woods, they decide to call it home―and become the Boxcar Children!
