star review of 50
States of Consciousness by DJ Jones
DJ
Jones is a tall, African American woman who loves her children,
country music and her motorcycle, Big Bertha. She describes her
adventures and the people she met as she took that 800
pound bike
to each of the fifty states in
2006.
The
story of her journey is accompanied by great photographs. The reader
also gets a glimpse of her backstory.

star review of Thursday
Midnight by Zachry Wheeler
The
sequel to Transient picks up the story of mortal humans and vampires
several years later. Jonas is in hiding with
Anna,
but has kept his pledge to NExUS, the worldwide ruling body. He
thinks the few remaining humans can work together with the dominant
vampires until a human commits a gruesome axe murder. Turns out to be
the tip of an iceberg of humans targeting large congregations
of vampires, bringing
Jonas out of hiding.
The
story is filled with tension, thrills and chills. The only thing I
didn't like were the number of humans (and vampires) died, especially
the ones I liked.
