Book Description:
Emma’s world is falling apart, and Kade, the only one who seems to hold her together, is missing. With death lingering right outside their door, decisions must be made before it’s too late.
The Midway has refused to send help, so they are left to seek out the only other who can stop Lucian.
A perilous quest sends Emma and a few Guardians into the Underworld, where the unimaginable abide, to beseech the Prince of Darkness himself. Lucifer.
Now, they must endure the deadly levels of Hell, which not one …mortal or immortal… has ever survived.
Prepare for love, loss, and the unexpected.

My description:
Emma, her parents and her gardians are in great danger. They are stuck in a bunker alone and almost helpless. The responsible for this is Lucian and nothing seems to stop him. All he wishes is to get rid of all Nephilim. Kade tried to get help from Midway but they refused. The only option they have left is no less than Lucifer, the devil himself. Why him? Well he is the only one who can stop Lucian and his son is a Nephilim.
Asking help from the devil is no easy task but Emma will not let anything stop her. She wants to be part of the team. However, it will not be a walk in the park. They will have to go  through all the five deadly levels of Hell in order to get an audience with him. How can they expect to succeed as nobody either a human or even an immortal has ever survived? One thing is sure, it will not be possible without any lost.

My opinion :
I am a true fan of Cameo Renae books. She always surprise us with so many twists. Once again, I read this book in my car as an audiobook and god this reader is sooo good. That's an experience you want to try. I can wait to see what's next. I love love love Kade but something happens at the end of the book that might treathened the love story between him and Emma... Oh noooo.

The author :
My family is what keeps my heart beating, and my world a happy place to be.

I was born in San Francisco, raised in Maui, Hawaii, and recently moved with my husband and children to Alaska.
I'm a daydreamer, a caffeine and peppermint addict. I love to laugh, love to read, and love to escape reality. One of my greatest joys is creating fantasy worlds filled with adventure and romance, and sharing it with others.
One day I hope to find my own magic wardrobe, and ride away on a magical unicorn. Until then...I'll keep writing! Source : Goodreads

Hostile (The After Light Saga #4) by Cameo Renae

5/6/2017

0 Commentaires

 
Book Description:
Wanted. It’s something I’ve had to get used to since being placed on the government’s Most Wanted list. On the run, with my family and Finn by my side, we now have to evade not only the Arvies, but teams of soldiers sent to find and capture me.

Little do they know, I’m battling my own demons. After receiving large doses of mind-enhancing serum, a monster has been unleashed inside my mind. It promises death and destruction; its power, greater than anything I could imagine. Now, I’m too dangerous, and the lives of my loved ones depend on my separation from the group. I must leave and face the hostile world alone.

My name is Abigail Park. I will do whatever it takes to save the ones I love.

​My Description:
​Abigail Park has a gift. She can communicate and harm the Arvies like no one else which makes her the most wanted person in the world and one of the strongest. Because of that, no matter how much she loves her family and especially her fiancé, the gorgeous Finn, she had to leave them behind in order to protect them. It's one of the most difficult​ decision she had to make.
​Not long after she left them she got caught by people from her previous bunker. Their mission is to find her and bring her back. However, has they lost their mean of transport, they have no choice but to live and fight together.
​While trying to find shelter, they discover a young woman which could be the greatest hope for human kind.
​Despite they all get to know and trust each other, Abigail is sure of one thing, there is no way she will go back with them. No matter how close she got from them, she will do whatever it takes to stay free.

​My Opinion:
​Ohh I love that serie. In this fourth book, Abigail, continue to learn to control her new powers. She goes from surprise to surprise. It was hard to see her live Finn which she loves more than anything, even more than her own life. I missed him and their complicity. If you haven't started to read that serie yet, you have to start now. On my side, I will very soon read the last book of the serie. I can't wait to see how it will all end. Good I hope...

Intransigent (The After Light saga #3) by Cameo Renae

1/22/2017

0 Commentaires

 
Book Description:
Arriving at the new government bunker, things quickly go from bad to worse. I am separated from Finn and my family because of my ability to connect with Arvies through telepathy. Housed with three other Readers—and kept away from the general population—we are given serum injections in effort to enhance our thought transference. The end goal? Thought manipulation.

We are considered humanity’s only hope in the war against the Arvy race.

With the ever growing threat of an invasion, the government demands results from the Reader program by doling out ultimatums, and using our loved ones against us.

But they will not break me.

My name is Abigail Park. I am intransigent.

​My description:
​Abigail Park and her family are going to a new bunker. On their way there, the soldiers discover that Abi is able to communicate with the Arvies so as soon as they get there, Abi is taken away from her family. They call her a Reader and she is now a member of the Reader program. She will be able to see her family only once a week. There are three other readers on the program, a couple of twins, Chase and Chloe and the Dr. Simon who is head of the program.
​Their goal is to expand the gift that the readers have and use it against the arvies.
Abigail is not happy to be away from her love ones but at the same time,  she wants to learn how to control her gift. She finds good friends in Chase and Chloe and even with Dr. Simon but doesn't know if she can trust them. She soon discover that she is different from the other ones, that her gift is far stronger than them and it puts her on the spot.
​When the government insist on having some results with the Readers program, things are getting out of control.

​My opinion:
​I really love the After Light Saga, a post apocalyptic series and I love Cameo Renae's books. This one was available as an audio book so I jumped on it. It seems to me that I don't have enough time to read all the books I want to read so audiobooks are perfect for me. I put them on my car while driving to work and back home.
​I was thrilled to read again about some of my favorite characters such as Abi and the gorgeous Fynn. The fact that Abi is now able to control more her gift opens a lot of new possibilities. I can't wait to see what's next. I will read Hostile, book 4, very soon. If you haven't read yet that serie, don't hesitate, I assure you that you will love it.

​The author:
Cameo's family is what keeps her heart beating, and her world a happy place to be. She loves reading great books that whisk her away from reality, even if for a little while. :) Writing is her passion. She loves creating new worlds and new characters, and taking wondrous adventures with them. 

In My Dreams & Hidden Wings were both recently published through Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing. 
Descent (A Hidden Wings novella) was released May 15, 2013, and Broken Wings (Book 2 in the Hidden Wings Series) was released June 1, 2013.

Sanctum by Cameo Renae

8/22/2014

0 Commentaires

 
Book Description :
The Arvy threat worsens each day. They continue to destroy the hive’s vital fuel resources, leaving us with one option— evacuate to the largest government bunker, located in South Dakota. 
The injured hive members are moved as first priority, but a disastrous event occurs on the way to our drop-off zone. We find ourselves in a ghost town, surrounded by spiteful, revenge-filled Arvies. Chaos ensues and our death toll rises. Just when we think the end has come, unsuspected help arrives. We are rescued and brought to an underground bunker.
They call it Sanctum.
With no way of reaching outside help, we must depend on each other to reach our pick-up zone, thirty miles away. If we don’t make it in time, we will be left for dead. 
Time is ticking.
My name is Abigail Park. I am a survivor

My Description:
Abigail and her family still lives in the Bunker however the arvies are treatening their vital fuel resources. They have no choice but to leave that place and to join a largest bunker. The plans for the evacuation are made and they will leave in many little teams by helicopter. The first to go is the one with the doctors and the injured. Abi, Finn, Pike and Tina are on the same flight along with Dr. Banks and others. 
Unfortunately, they are not able to make it to the drop zone and crash many miles away from their. Thanks to the pilot nobodies got injured but they can't stay in the middle of the desert. They have to find a shelter for the night before thinking to go to the drop zone. They finally manage to find a town in the middle of nowhere. Once they arrive in the little town they are attacked by arvies. Then, they get rescue by some member of the community who have built a bunker under the church. They call it the Sanctum. 
These people not only saved them but they welcome them in their bunker. Abi, Finn and her friends try to help the Sanctum community for payback. 
At least, Abi have Finn with her and they appreciate it after being put apart at their last bunker. They fear that it will be the same at the next bunker they are heading for. Tina is also more than happy to have some private time with Pike.
Will they be able to reach the drop zone before it's too late? Will everyone survive? Will they decide to stay at the Sanctum? 

My opinion:
First of all, thank you my dear Cameo for allowing to read your book. It was such an honor and I couldn't wait since I've read ARV-3. I love, love, love that serie. Even if some part of that book made me cry, I enjoyed every part of it. I was so happy to see Abi and Finn spending most of the time together. Their relationship is so amazing, I am kind of jaleous :-). Same with Tina and Pike. I can't wait to see what's next for them and I fear it at the same time. 

I recommend that serie without any hesitation. You will love it I promise. It is one of my favorite book I have read this year so far.

Nice quotes:
"I also believe in destiny. No matter how bad it may seem. I believe your chopper crashed outside of our town, so you would find your way to us. You were sent here, to our small town in the middle of nowhere, to help us, and to renew our hope and strength. So thank you, all of you."

"I kissed him softly, then pulled his arms tighter around me. I pressed my ear to his chest, and listened to the soft beating of his hear. "I love you," he whispered. "Longer than forever," I answered"

"I fought so hard tonight because of you. Because I wanted to return to your arms. Right here," I placed my hand in the middle of his chest. "This is where I belong. This is where I want to spend the rest of my life. Wrapped in your arms."

Book Description:
Seventeen is a life changing age for Emma Wise.

As her family's sole survivor in a car crash, she is left with a broken arm and a few scrapes and bruises. But these are only outward marks; inside, her heart is broken and the pieces scattered.

Whisked away to Alaska, to an aunt she’s never met, Emma starts over. Secrets unveil themselves and now…she doesn't even know who or what she is.

A centuries old prophecy places Emma in the heart of danger. Creatures of horrifying and evil proportions are after her, and it will take Emma, her aunt, and six, gorgeously captivating Guardians to keep her safe. But, if she can survive until her eighteenth birthday... things will change.

My Description:
Emma just survived a big car accident. She is the sole survivor. Both her parents died in that crash. While she is at the hospital recovering she learned that she will have to move to Alaska to live with an aunt that she never heard from.

That's when she met Kade and Malachi, two hot boys who came to escort her to Alaska. She quickly felt very attractive to Kade who is the most friendly towards her. She even felt strange near him. Malachi, also a very nice guy is more distant. As she had to left her best friends behind, it was good for her not to be alone to travel to her new home.

She didn't know why she had to be escort by two guys until something strange and dangerous happened at the airport. She then finds out that she is in danger but didn't know why.

Frustration grows as she struggles to receive some answers to all of her questions and she did have a lot. When she starts receiving answers, she discovers secrets about her and her family that will change her life forever. Kade, Malachi and a couple of other gorgeous guys are her guardians, they are there to protect her.

Will she be safe in that house with her aunt? Who is really that aunt and what is the link with her parents? How her relation with Kade will evoluate?

My opinion:
Another great great great story from Cameo. First of all, thank you so much Cameo for allowing me to read that wonderful story. I am really proud to be in your street team. 

The story is just amazing and the characters... Love them. This is another page turner. I love the relation between Kade and Emma and I can't wait to see what will happen between them. I will read Descent and Broken Wings pretty soon. Thank you Cameo for such amazing stories xxx

ARV-3 by Cameo Renae

12/8/2013

Book Description:The beginning of the end. The Apocalypse.

A nuclear fallout wiped out every living thing on the planet, except for a few thousand of us who took shelter in underground bunkers across the globe. Now, after thirteen long years, we were finally able to return to the topside to begin to rebuild.

We thought we were alone. We were never more wrong.

Before the fallout, scientists had worked on creating an anti-radiation vaccine (ARV). The first two attempts failed, but despite the incomplete tests and results, the government approved and distributed the third serum to the masses in an effort to aid those who had no shelter.

It worked, keeping those who remained on the topside alive, but it also altered and mutated them. This new and infectious threat had completely outnumbered us. Now, we not only had to rebuild our planet. We would have to fight for it.

My name is Abigail Park. I’m seventeen, and this is my story.

My Description:
Abigail Park lives in a bunker underground which they call a hive with her family and friends because everything above them is completly destroy. They live there for thirtheen years and then they were suppose to go back to the surface to rebuild and bring life back. When they are about to go back to the surface they learned that a great danger is waiting for them.

Before the fallout, the government, knowing they wouldn't be able to save everybody, created a vaccine to help the ones who would stay to survive to radiations. Unfortunately, because they didn't have enough time to test the vaccine, they couldn't predict what would happen. The vaccine did help them to survive but it also transforms them into something not human anymore. They have now become creatures that only want one thing, flesh.

Abigail's father which is the leader of the hive, decides that it's time for them to leave and find the safety zone. They will have to fight these creatures to get there. They have all been trained to fight against human but not necessarily against beasts. Will they be able to survive without any lost? One thing is sure, they can always count on one and the other.

If they get to the safety zone, what will they find?

My Opinion:
First of all, a huge thank to the fabulous Cameo Renae for allowing me to read her book. This story was soo good. It feels great to read something different and the last dystopian reading I made was the Hunger games series so it's a long time ago. I couldn't put it down, I had only 30% read and then I finished it in one day because I wanted to know what would happen to the characters.

I fell in love with the characters which are fantastics and the interactions between them is lovely. The story between Abigail and Finn is more than lovely. If one day, I have to face that kind of situation, I would like to be with a group like that. 

Now, I can't wait for book two. I want to see what's next. Will they be able to find an antidote for the arvies? Or will they be able to protect them against the bites? I have so many questions. 

I definitively recommend that book!!! And for French peoples, this is an easy reading for a first language French so don't hesitate!! And for the others, we never know, maybe one day it will be translated. 

The Characters:
Abigail Park: Abigail was only 4 years old when she enters the hive. She lives there with her parents. She grew up there and learned everything she needs to defend herself and her loves one. She is the best shooter from the hive. 

Finn Armstrong: Abigail's best friend. Growing older, they both find new feelings for one and the other. 

Also living in the hive: Abigail's parents, Uncle Frank, aunt Sandy and cousin Lily, Anya (Finn's mother), Dr. Jay and Dr. Lisa Banks, Tom Hatch, his wife Wei (botanists)  and their son Charlie and finally Bill and Lorraine Park, Abigail's grandparents.

The Author:
Cameo Renae was born in San Francisco, CA, raised in Maui, Hawaii, and recently moved with her husband and children to Alaska. 

She loved reading from as long as she can remember, and it was C.S. Lewis' - Chronicles of Narnia – which sparked a fire in her soul and made her want to create her own wondrous, magical worlds and characters to go on adventures with. 
 
Her published books are In My Dreams (A YA Paranormal Romance Thriller), Hidden Wings (Book  #1 in the HW Series), Descent (A HW Series Novella) and Broken Wings (Book #2 in HW Series). 

One day she hopes to find her own magic wardrobe, and ride away on her magical unicorn... until then... she'll keep writing!
