From the Shadows I Review: ***Weekly Blog Recap*** 19th March 2013

My Ratings

1 star - Awful. I feel as though I have been tortured by an author who has had a bad day at the computer

2 stars - Pretty bad. I probably won't read the book again

3 stars- It's okay. It didn't capture me in the way I like but overall I enjoyed the book.

4 stars - Good. I enjoyed the book but it lacked something that would have made it special.

5 stars - Amazing. A rating I don't give often but when I do it means the book stands head and shoulders above all others for the same age group.

If I've given a book a .5 it means that my indecisiveness has won and I'm stuck between two ratings.

Weekly Blog Recap 19th March 2013

I've decided that I'm going to share with you what I'm reading this week so you can have a better chance of seeing what I'm up to! I'm also going to recap the previous week's posts. So if you missed something you can catch up.

Currently Reading:

Can the future ever erase the past? Rose has a Cross mother and a nought father in a society where the pale-skinned noughts are treated as inferiors and those with dual heritage face a life-long battle against deep-rooted prejudices. Sephy, her mother, has told Rose virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she unexpectedly discovers the truth about her parentage and becomes determined to find out more. But her father's family has a complicated history - one tied up with the fight for equality for the nought population. And as Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger. Suddenly it's a game of very high stakes that can only have one winner . . .

The first rule of survival in the Underground: When you’re outside, keep your eyes on the skies. Ace Harpy Hunter Piper Madden is used to danger, but the death of her brother slams the brakes on her high-torque lifestyle and leaves her broken and confused.

On the run from the dictating Elder Corporation, she’s eventually found in the quiet undergound city of Ichton and asked to work for the Corp on contract to quell a new and frightening Harpy threat.

Enter the discovery of horrifying Corporation secrets, Harpy attacks, and a new friendship with the strange Asher, and Piper’s days become anything but boring.

Then, a chance encounter leaves Piper privy to a dangerous secret, ad as she and Asher team up in an effort to unravel the truth, the secrets they uncover beneath the ancient walls of the dead city will spark their world into a grand-scale war.
