THE REGISTRY BY SHANNON STOKER

A mixture of differents dystopia's series like "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver or "Matched" by Ally Condie, with a touch of "The Selection"by Kiera Cass. 

Despite the similarities, the story is no less interesting. I loved all these books which it's why I was delighted by "The Registry"... It makes me think of them.

THE MONSTERS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BY JESSE PETERSEN
MONSTROSITY VOL 2

Personally in "CLUB Monstrosity", I really liked the concept of the greatest monsters of literature who find themselves in the middle of New York in a therapy group. 
The idea was original. The action full of twists and conducted as an investigation with amusing repartees.
No downtime, this serie is fresh and exciting.

BINDING AGREEMENT BY KYRA DAVIS
JUST ONE NIGHT VOL3

Much more darker, this third volume brings the characters into a face to face. They have to confront themselves, the truth of their relationship and see if they still want the same things.
This powerful serie was surprising since the first volume. Kyra Davis was able to make me react, volume after volume, by changing its style and atmosphere.

A recent review from a very respected reviewer and bibliographer:

5.0 out of 5 stars An Engrossing, Phantasmagorical Book,

By

David A. Willson (Maple Valley, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Everything Happened In Vietnam: The Year Of The Rat (Paperback)

This is an engrossing, phantasmagorical book. I've read a lot of Marine Corps memoirs, and this is an unusual one, but very readable on every page.
It's hard to explain why I find this book so singular. The author gives us some clues on the verso of the title page. "This is not a work of fiction although I have written it more like a novel than a narrative." He goes on to call the book, "true fiction," and he warns the reader the final chapter contains an event that isn't "digestible as literal truth." He is right about that, but the book is filled with such events and is the better for it. Some scholars of literature call this sort of writing, "magical realism." It works well with the material in this Marine Corps memoir.
The language of the book is a mytho-poetic style that is often more poetry than prose, and the book is arranged in short, powerful chapters. It is very novelistic as Thompson warns us early on. Many of his phrases were so memorable that I found myself jotting them down. I loved his phrases for the view from a helicopter. "the emerald embrace of the vegetal world." My favorite chapter is The Letter. It packs such a powerful punch in three and one half pages that I recommend buying the book just for that chapter alone. It is worth it.
In his chapter, "Mamason" is the best description of what Agent Orange is like on the ground that I have read. "...I was walking through some bush that was black and withered and the only way that I can describe it is that it was slimy, like a million snails had oozed across every leaf of every bush and turned them black and shriveled in their wake and the slime was getting all over me." A bit later he says, "This must be Agent Orange." He goes on to offer a defense of the use of the stuff, as the defoliation aspect of it enabled him to see a landmine before he stepped on it. Agent Orange saved his legs and his life.
If you are up for reading another Marine Corps memoir, this is a fine one. It is short and sweet and can be read in one or at most two sittings. I read it in a great rush, eager for what was coming next. You will too.

All the best, Robert Peter Thompson Author of:

Everything Happened In Vietnam: The Year of the Rat – Kindle $3.99

IF YOU WERE HERE BY ALAFAIR BURKE

Beautifully written, this thriller brings to suspect all the protagonists to hide something linking to the cases. Then the reader speculates. Twists after twists, the author keeps you in suspense thanks to the tenacity of McKenna and plausibility of details and facts.

Captivating and brilliant, this thriller that made ​​me turn the pages without ever suspecting the end.
Thrilling!
