Savage Drift (Book #3 Monument 14) by Emmy Laybourne

Savage Drift by Emmy Laybourne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this series, the narration by Todd Haberkorn was just awesome, the writing by Emmy Laybourne was thrilling and I highly recommend this series! I am just sorry it took me this long to listen to it, but what sparked it was that I read Laybourne's 2017 book, Berserker, which I thoroughly loved and recommend all read it! That inspired me to go back to her debut series and I will be thinking about these kids and what they endured for a long long time, highly recommended!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh boy did I love Book #2 and Todd Haberkorn's narration is just unbelievable! He does the kids voices, the adults voices and his tone is perfect. I could not stop reading, took about 2 days, I kept looking for any way to tune in to this frightening apocalypse story. I am jumping right into listening to the final book!!! A fantastic read!

On the Edge of Gone by Corinne Duyvis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and ABRAMS Kids for the ARC, On the Edge of Gone by Corinne Duyvis. If you are looking for a gripping post-apocalyptic read with diverse characters measured according to how “worthiness” On the Edge of Gone, is a rip-roaring action packed read! Denise is the tough but insecure protagonist, who does not let her autism stop her from proving her worth to gain a spot on the generation ship (bringing her mother along while still trying to find her sister, Iris) as a comet hurtles toward Earth. I loved the much needed diversity Duyvis brought to this raw book with biracial characters, transgender characters, and characters with disabilities. I saw this author speak on a diversity panel 11/15/15 in Philadelphia titled, Moving Past “Girl” Books and “Boy” Books: Representing a Rainbow, and I was so impressed. I immediately requested this title from NetGalley and I was so excited to read this scifi thriller. I even purchased Otherbound, too! Congratulations to Corinne Duyvis and the cadre of other authors celebrating diversity in culture and environment in their writing; YA readers need more authors to lend their voices; highly recommended!
