Author: Jacinta Maree
Genre: NA Dystopian
Publisher: Inked Rabbit Publishing
Cover Designer: Thander Lin: las-t.deviantart.com artstation.com/artist/las-t


Blurb: 
Since being discovered as Soulless, Nadia has become a target for both terrorist groups and government corporations. Now, her only hope for survival rests in the hands of the man sent out to kill her: Diesel, the Mad Dog terrorist.

Diesel is determined to free himself of the never ending curse of reincarnation and the haunting memories that plague his mind. But when his search leads him to Nadia, a greater desire stills him from taking her life.

Unable to see into Diesel's cracking mind, Nadia instead puts her faith into his strength, fueled by eleven generations of unmatched rage and insanity. Their tight-rope relationship balances the two between life and death, love and rage, trust and betrayal.
Tension pulls at the hems of their dangerous companionship, and as time runs out all madmen must eventually make their choice.

Book two of the thrilling Immortal Gene series dives deeper into the danger of trusting your heart over your head.


Readers discretion: Adult language, violence and some adult scenes. For mature audiences only.

FIVE STARS 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am such a huge fan of Jacinta Maree. Everything I have red of her is brilliant and creative and just dark enough to keep me on my toes. 
Soul Finder was no exception. Action, suspense, dark horrors of the world she created. I loved it, obviously.
Nadia is such a bad ass and Diesel... Oh crazy arse Diesel, how I love you.
Fast paced and gripping you don't want to miss out on this epic series. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!

Excerpt: 
Diesel slowly stood. “I have been thinking a lot lately. About how delicate this situation is. I have had many experiences in hostage situations. But you are different. Difficult.” He stepped around the table. I shuffled back. His voice dropped and curled with a gentle accent that didn’t suit his pitch. A Russian accent, spoken through an English voice. Krane. He jabbed at his own temple with the gun. “You’ve done something to me, you’ve planted this desire into my head. Something I need to stamp out.” His eyes shot down and his eyebrows twitched, pinched by a thought. “I know you. I know your weaknesses, Nadia. I also know where to find that darling sister you are so protective of.”
I shook a sharp breath in, “You wouldn’t dare.”
“A desperate man would do anything, and you are making me very desperate.”
He truly would do anything to keep me leashed to him. He would find Annie. He would bait me with her.
“I need you to stay with me, Nadia. I have sacrificed so much for you. Don’t you get it? You and me, we are more than life. We are more than this. Without you I will crumple into ruins.” The earnestly behind his words shuddered his breath. Weakened his body. I blinked at the poetry of it. At first I thought I was the wax, bending and breaking within Diesel’s presence, but it turned out I was the flame. I was destroying him.
“You forget.” I turned the gun against my own head. “I know your weakness too.”

Soulless by Jacinta Maree

Title: Soulless: The Immortal Gene, Book 1
Author: Jacinta Maree
Genre: Dystopian / Supernatural New Adult
Hosted by: Lady Amber's Tours
Blurb:
Welcome to Soulless. We are the generation that laughs at death. Reincarnation; what was once considered a gift of immortality has become an eternity of nightmares. Nadia Richards lives in a world plagued by reincarnation, a system of recycling souls where all past memories, personalities and traumatic events are relived daily in disjointed sequences. Trapped within their own warped realities, not even the richest and most powerful are saved from their own minds unraveling. Madness is the new human nature, and civilizations are crumpling beneath themselves trying to outrun it. Within a society that ignores death, Nadia appears to be the one exception to the reincarnation trap. Born without any reincarnated memories and with printless eyes, the hot tempered 19 year old quickly becomes the ultimate prize to all those wishing to end the vicious cycle, or for some, to ensure they could evade death forever.

The world had turned to waste; immortality was never meant for man and it drove humanity to the edge of destruction. There had been plenty of stories about how the human race would end. Unlike the movies from Hollywood, there was no big bang like a sun exploding; there was no catastrophic moment where our world was flipped upside down like in a nuclear war or zombie virus outbreak. It was gradual, like a seeping virus that withered everything within its path until it ground us down into brittle, hollowed cores. It wasn’t out to destroy our bodies; it destroyed everything we once treasured. Hope, love, compassion, joy… even our mortality. It was all gone. And now it mocked us with a peace we could never achieve, death.

But when AVHF strikes, their preparation may not be enough to save them.

Just as the Rebels are beginning to understand what they are capable of Cesar has kidnapped their families forcing them to strike before they are ready. Once inside the Empyrean palace they discover the horror of what they are truly facing. Does Eden have what it takes to be the legend she was destined to be? Ready or not she's about to find out..

REVIEW:
I am a huge fan of Young Adult Dystopian books so obviously I really liked Echo Among Stars. 

Eden was such a kick butt strong kind of girl which we really don't see enough of outside this genre. She is living in this insanely dangerous world and we are running along side her in this crazy adventure. 

The world Joanna S. Morris has created is incredible, I felt like I was there. She painted a pretty bleak and dangerous view of the world. 

It being a series I already knew going in that there would be a crazy cliffhanger at the end of this book but it still hurt a little LOL 

I'm looking forward to seeing where the story takes Eden and the gang next. I think this book has set up an amazing story and I and excited to read more!

Penryn & the End of Days by Susan Ee





Book One: Angelfall
This book I was obsessed with the moment I saw it in the book store. The cover art was so gorgeous and... Well... I have a weakness for YA stories about angels and girls who can kick some serious butt!

Penryn is definitely one of those girls. She is highly trained in ass kickery and can handle herself against three dudes it's seriously impressive! She is living in this post apocalypse world where angels are creating hell on earth. She is trying to survive and protect herself and her wheelchair ridden little sister and a schizophrenic mother off her meds. She is bat shit crazy and in the most deranged... Funny but also really unbalanced way LOL.

Enter Raffe (sorry Susan Ee I pronounce it RayF not RahFee, I tried it your way, my brain just refused to change) ok so Raffe is Raphael, Wrath of God ect ect... Oh holy angel. But with out giving spoilers these two crazy people cross paths and end up on the adventure of the end of days. It's a crazy ride with laughs and plenty of WTF moments. I was lucky and excited to get my hands on book one AND two right after one another...


Book Two: World After
Wow... 
I mean... The sheer brutality in this book is insane. I kept shaking my head like DAMN... That image is gonna stick with me forever LOL. 

Penryn Young... I mean have we seen a more kick ass chick of YA before? Seriously she throws down in hand to hand combat with straight up angel warriors armed only with a raking steak knife! It's so freaking awesome. 

Raffe... I thought he was bad ass in book one all wingless and still kicking butt but his brand new demon wings are even better. I love  these two and their ability to cause absolute chaos LOL. 

Honorary mentions go to the bat shit crazy mom & the conundrum that is Paige young. I mean seriously Raffes quote was spot on, “The unruliness of the women in your family must go back for generations. You’re like a plague upon the land.” LOL these ladies know how to survive a feeling apocalypse! 

And of course Pooky Bear! Brave and noble Pooky Bear who turned Penryn into an even more impressive bad ass!

I'm dying to read book three (2014!!!!), four and yes you heard right FIVE books in this series! Woot woot!
