And the crickets have been as silent as the dead. It started with the murdered deer in the playground with the unmistakable purple of a foxglove in its mouth. But in the dying boondock town of Emerald Cove, life goes on. I work at Gramps's diner, and the cakes―the entitled rich kids who vacation here―make our lives hell. My best friend, Alex Pace, is the one person who gets me. Only Alex has changed. He's almost like a stranger now. I can't figure it out...or why I'm having distinctly more-than-friend feelings for him. Ones I shouldn't be having. Then one ...

The Ruin of the World (The World Without End #4) By: Nazarea Andrews Published: May 11, 2015 202 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: When the zombies rose, we thought the world ended. It didn’t—it just broke, in a way we couldn’t fix. And we found ways to continue, reasons to fight.  Faith. Family. Politics. Obsession. The most dangerous of all— hope .  But when all of that is stripped away, and nothing remains but rage and betrayal—that is the true end of the world.  Return to the World Without End, for a final battle for hope and survival in the exciting conclusion to Nazarea Andrews’ phenomenal series. MY REVIEW: This installment picks up 4 months after the end of book 3's events. Finn is, by force, leading an army into the East as he is being coerced by Omar, a Black Priest, who is head over the Order. Finn will fight and lead the army as long as Omar continues to give Nurrin the medicine she needs to slow down...

This week's question: You can only eat one cuisine type for the rest of your life. Which would you choose? (E.g. Italian, French, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, etc...)  - suggested by Journey Through Fiction Hmm...Of all the cuisine types out in the world I would probably have to go with Mediterranean. First of all Mexican all the time would have my stomach in turmoil, Italian all the time would have me fat (too much pasta!), Indian - BLECH!, Chinese (though I love) isn't something I'd want all the time. But Mediterranean has a ton of healthy and fresh (clean) options to enjoy. From ...
