Summary:Fever Induced Rapid Encephalitis; AKA. F.I.R.E.

This is the name humanity gave for the virus that covered the globe within days. A highly contagious disease that first seemed to be a run of the mill flu but soon turned into something much more sinister. 
When Max and Clara Jacobs married 20 years ago, they promised to love each other until death did them part. But what happens after that? 

The devoted couple are at opposite ends of the country when a highly contagious virus sweeps across Canada, making zombies of a third of the victims. Waking after death, Max and Clara must learn to accept their new forms, and navigate a chaos-ridden world filled with people who are out to get them. 

Dead Aware is a post-apocalyptic novel written mostly from an undead point of view. Motivated by love this is a story of death, adventure, acceptance… and zombies

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Reader’s Thoughts: Dead Aware is an exciting debut for a new author. Eleanor did so well on developing her characters and she thought through each scene.
The exciting thing about this new series is that it takes place in Vancouver, Canada. So we get a new location besides the typical American major city.
This book is fast paced and full of interesting characters. It reminds me of a mix between The Walking Dead and Warm Bodies (minus the obvious Romeo and Juliet romance.)
Excellent work Eleanor! You have a new fan!

 Title: The Longest Night Author: Lindsey Pouge Series Title: Savage North Chronicles Published:, August 9th 2019 Pages: 119 Format: Kindle Source: Given for an honest review by author as an ARC

Summary:Alaska can be a bleak and dangerous place, especially in the dead of winter. But when hair-raising whispers about an outbreak reach the small harbor town of Whitely, the townspeople face a new, unfathomable fear— the virus is coming for them.

Sophie thought life was complicated when she had teen pregnancy and her squeaky-clean reputation as the mayor’s daughter to worry about. But strict schedules and perfectly groomed hair become yesterday’s concerns as bloodcurdling screams pierce the night air and lurid memories haunt feverish dreams. Weak and alone, Sophie must survive the longest, most terrifying night of her life and pray she won’t be the only one left when she wakes.

Alex is the kid from the wrong side of the tracks and trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. It’s all he can do to keep his head down until his eighteenth birthday when he can leave his life in foster care behind him. But Alex doesn’t realize he and the quiet girl from class with lonely, blue eyes are fated in the most impossible way imaginable. Death is everywhere, and even in the gray dawn of morning, after the fever subsides and the world echoes in silence, Alex will have to face his darkest fear yet.

The Longest Night is a prequel novella in the Savage North Chronicles, part of the bestselling, post-apocalyptic Ending World. You do not have to read The Ending Series in order to enjoy the Savage North Chronicles

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Reader’s thoughs:I can’t put into words how much Lindsey blew me away with this prequel. I love how we got a glimpse of what Sophie and Alex went through as the world ended in the Last Frontier before meeting Elle and Jackson. The fear and trials they went through, makes you wonder what kids/teens today might have to experience if the world came to a terrible end. Such a great prequel to an amazing series!!

Until Next time my dragons!

Summary: When Olivia Shaw’s mother dies, the sophisticated food editor is astonished to learn she’s inherited a centuries-old English estate—and a title to go with it. Raw with grief and reeling from the knowledge that her reserved mother hid something so momentous, Olivia leaves San Francisco and crosses the pond to unravel the mystery of a lifetime

One glance at the breathtaking Rosemere Priory and Olivia understands why the manor, magnificent even in disrepair, was the subject of her mother’s exquisite paintings. What she doesn’t understand is why her mother never mentioned it to her. As Olivia begins digging into her mother’s past, she discovers that the peeling wallpaper, debris-laden halls, and ceiling-high Elizabethan windows covered in lush green vines hide unimaginable secrets.

Although personal problems and her life back home beckon, Olivia finds herself falling for the charming English village and its residents. But before she can decide what Rosemere’s and her own future hold, Olivia must first untangle the secrets of her past.

The development between Olivia and Sam went smoothly, and I routed for them 100%.
