Replica

Lyra From a distance, the Haven Institute, tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida, looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, it is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. But when a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects—Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72—manage to escape. As they make their way through a new and menacing environment, they meet a stranger named Gemma, who has embarked on a perilous quest of her own. And as Lyra tries to understand Haven’s purpose, she uncovers earth-shattering secrets that will change the lives of both girls. Gemma Gemma has been in and out of hospitals her whole life. A sickly child, she has grown into a lonely adolescent whose life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April. But after she is nearly abducted ...

Bared To You / Reflected In You

Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness. He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily  Gideon "knew." He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each others most private wounds and desires.  The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart. This was my fist erotic book ever. I got it as a gift. I loved the story a lot. I actually didn't think that I was gonna enjoy this type of books this much. The reason I'm reviewing these 2 books in the same post is because I read these 2 books from a while and I don't remember a lot of details. Crossfire is an erotic series ( 5 books ) Bared to you is book 1 and Reflected In You is book 2. I li...

Mr. Robot

Elliot Alderson is a cyber security engineer by day and a vigilant hacker by night. He has social anxiety.  Elliot's dad is dead because of the radiation on the company he worked for but Elliot couldn't prove that. E corp is the largest conglomerate in the world " A perfect monster for modern society. " Later on this company will get hacked and this is where the story began. What I mostly liked about this show is that Elliot is always talking to an imaginary person ( us the viewers ) so you will always feel like you're a part of the show. I tried watching this show last year and I gave up after 2 episodes. I found it so boring and I wasn't understanding anything. Then this year I heard a lot of reviews about it so I gave it another try and I loved it. The problem was that while watching the first episode for the first time I wasn't paying attention a lot so I missed a bunch of stuff. The second time I was full focused so I enjoyed the first episode ...

Red Queen

This is a world divided by blood – red or silver. The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change. That is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power. Fearful of Mare’s potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime. But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance – Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart. First of all I'm in...

W Is For Wasted

Two dead men changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I’d never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue. The first was a local PI of suspect reputation. He’d been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks later. He’d been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with Millhone’s name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him. Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes. But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages begin to emerge. And before long at least one aspect is solved as Kinsey literally finds the key to his identity. “And just like that,” she says, “the lid to Pandora’s box flew open. It would take me another day before I understood how many imps had been freed, but for the moment, I was inord...

Outlander

The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives. I got this book as a birthday gift. It's huge ( 863 pages ) but totally worth it. I love it! After walking through a circle of standing stones and vanishing into 1743, the first person who Claire met was a British army officer, her husband's six-times gr...
