Fragments Of Life

I'm so excited about this! So, you may remember that, a couple of years ago now, the first two books in Jeyn Roberts enthralling and highly-addictive post-apocalyptic series Dark Inside, were released. Then, nothing. It turns out that even though the series was a planned trilogy, Roberts' publishing contract for the series did not extend beyond her initial two book deal. Hence the major delay in the release of the third book. But now it's happening! The self-published Fury Rising, which will be available in paperback and eBook will hit online stores on May 16th. (I believe the release date is subject to change). Also, I haven't had any luck in tracking this one down for pre-order yet, so if you're a Dark Inside fanatic like me and you happen to find it, please let me know in comments.  I can't wait to find out how everything ends for Mason, Michael, Clementine and Aries. And of course, Daniel. Oh Daniel.  But first, I need a re-read of the first two books in the...

It's true, I stalk cover reveals like it's nobody's business!  What's your pick of this bunch of recent reveals? Night Wanderers by C.J. Flood || Release date: June 2016 It all started with a poo in a flowerbed.  Rosie and Titania are as close as sisters - closer, in fact. While Rosie is shy, red-faced and passive, Ti is big, tough and daring. They shouldn't be friends, but they are.  Creeping out at night, the girls love to secretly wander through their coastal town, exploring empty streets and sharing their frustrations about school and their different, but equally difficult, families.  But when Rosie betrays Ti, the two girls run in different directions - making decisions that could do irreparable damage to both of their lives. As Rosie confronts harsh truths, she must find a way back to Ti, and to herself.  Whenever I heard the word kindred I thought of me and Ti. ***** This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills || Release date: October 2016 Sloane isn't expecting to...
