Exclusive Excerpt:

 

 

Chancing a quick glance over my shoulder, I hear the squeaky hinges of a door opening just as I run square into the person exiting. I startle and try to step back as I begin apologizing profusely, but firm hands grip my shoulders, not allowing me to move.

 

“I’m so sorry,” I gasp. The keycard falls from my hand and lands at the feet of the man I nearly ran over. Looking down, my eyes take in his expensive black shoes, the keycard resting on the ground just in front of him.

 

His hands release my shoulders, and I lunge for the keycard, but he’s too quick, reaching down and picking it up before I can get to it. His tan fingers wrap around the cheap plastic as he stands up. In shock for a moment, I finally pull myself up and meet his amber eyes.

 

“Are you okay?” He narrows his honey-colored eyes on me, and I take in his gray dress pants, black shirt, no tie. His hair is short, but slightly wispy on top—a little messy, not perfectly in place. His skin is golden brown, as if he’s been on a tropical vacation. His tan skin makes those amber eyes pop against his dark eyelashes. His square jaw is sprinkled with just enough hair to show he hasn’t shaved today, but it’s his dimples that take my breath away. He’s so well put together I’d guess he was in his thirties. He may be the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on, but he screams money, power—danger.

 

“Are you okay?” he asks again, tilting his head at me as I drink him in.

 

“Oh, um…yes, sorry…just nervous.” I look away from him and down to my fidgeting hands.

 

He glances behind me at the men on the sidewalk and then back to me as if piecing things together. “Are they harassing you?” He gestures with his head.

 

“No.” I shake my head. “I’m just tired. It’s been a really long day. I’m sorry I bumped into you,” I say timidly. I extend my hand, palm up in an unspoken gesture for him to return my keycard. My hand shakes as he looks between the card in his hand and me. His thumb flicks at the little yellow sticky note before he turns around and walks toward the door marked one hundred forty-three. He inserts the keycard and pushes the door open, holding it for me.

 

 

My heart stammers in my chest as I approach cautiously. I notice the expensive watch on his wrist, which peeks out from his dress shirt, and the light, luxurious smell of what can only be designer cologne. The scent paralyzes me—so intoxicating that I want to press my face to his neck and breathe him in.

 

 

Everything inside me—my good sense, my gut—screams at me not to walk toward that door, but I go against my better judgment. In three quick strides, I’m standing at the open door to my motel room as his amber eyes follow me. Brushing against him, I slide by and reach for the lights on the wall just inside the door. Only a small bedside lamp illuminates the room. I notice the musty smell as I glance around at the old furniture.

 

 

“Close this door and lock it,” he says, pulling the keycard from the door. He steps just over the threshold and into the room, reaching out to me with the keycard. “Don’t open this door for anybody. Understand?”

 

I swallow hard and nod. His fingers are warm against my palm as he places the keycard in my hand. My fingers instinctively close and trap his hand in mine. Rooted in place, he scans the room as if searching for something or someone. With no other words of warning or even a goodbye, he pulls his hand free and steps back through the door, closing it behind him with a loud bang.

Re Minds me of the Hunger Games some what
Broken Lies (Broken, #1) - Claire Vale

Born into a post-apocalyptic world, Lake has grown up in the last city standing. Governed by what used to be the Queen’s Cold Stream Guard, vaccinated against the threat, life in Windsor City is both harsh and fair. The rules are designed to strengthen the city and ensure survival.
Lake’s future is planned out with opportunities and unfair advantages and then there’s Ash—her best friend and hopefully more. Things could be worse, considering she’s living past the end of days. And, sometimes, she could definitely do with being a better person, which was what drafting into the Guard for two years of service was supposed to be about.
But she has no idea what she’s signed up for. The city is more vulnerable than she’d ever imagined, on its knees at the mercy of a megalomaniac organisation, and she’s just been chosen to pay the price

What did I think of it:
4.5 stars
here's my list as to why I give it 4.5 stars:
1:engageing read. Full of action, romance and goverment lies, that just pulls you in and has you hooked so much that you have to keep reading to find out what happenes next.
2: even though I haven't read the books but only seen bits and pieces of the movies , it reminds me some what of the Hunger Games book series, so if you like or loved those books then you might like or love this series
3; the plot is interesting and unusual

Broken (Cage of Lies, #3)
Broken (Cage of Lies, #3) - Susanne Vale... Broken (Cage of Lies, #3) - Susanne Valenti Pulse pounding, quick paced, action packed, adventure. This third installment in the series doesn’t disappoint. Maya and Alicia are crushed by the final events in Linked and the only thing keeping them going is the thought of revenge. To make matters worse, the City Wardens, led by a traitor, have gone on the offensive and are coming to wipe out Franklin. A snippet of overheard radio transmission gives the team enough time to set a trap, but when do things work out exactly like they are supposed to?

My only complaint about this book is that it just cannot end there. Cannot! Each book is better than the last and this is no exception. The relationships between characters have become more complex and the emotional investment in all the main characters is still very high. The vivid descriptions of the fight scenes are intense give the reader a sense of urgency and loss. This is best one yet and I am eagerly awaiting more.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Broken Lies
Broken Lies (Broken, #1) - Claire Vale

The only world that Lake Devlin has ever known is one that is flooded by climate change.  Only several cities remain in the waterlogged world. Locked deep in the melting ice sheets, the world received another surprise, a virus that turns people into rabid monsters or Living Corpses.  Inside the city walls Lake, her family and friends are relatively safe, approved babies are vaccinated from the virus and The Guard patrols the walls.  Upon graduation, Lake and her friends Ava and Ralley decide to carry out their voluntary term within The Guard.  Lake thought she would take a cushy fashion apprenticeship, but when her best friend Ash returns on leave from The Guard and things heat up between the two, Lake decides to do her civic duty.  The Guards may not be as easy as Lake thought and Ash may not be all that she thought either.  When the four friends are chosen for a special assignment, they learn of dangerous secrets that their government has been holding from everyone.

I was really interested in the plot of this book,a dystopian world destroyed by global warming plus zombies, awesome.  This book took a little while for me to get into, the first half was pretty much an average teen-aged girl's life in a very different world. I was very interested in the virus and how the world was handled the increasing water levels, unfortunately a lot of this wasn't explained.  There were some glimpses of this at the very end with the reveal of the secrets.  The plot picked up for me when Lake, Ava and Ralley entered The Guard.  The Living Corpses were intriguing, but there wasn't much action with them until the end.  I was a little disappointed in Lake's reaction to everything The Guard tried to teach her, it seemed that she was not even trying to learn anything in The Guard, especially after she meets up with Ash again, and even more so when a love triangle is revealed.  I was also extremely disappointed with the fact that Lake and Ava are expected to be pawns, but we will see.  Overall, an ok dystopian young adult novel with an interesting plot. not-so-strong female characters and a cliffhanger ending.

Broken Lies (Broken, #1)
Broken Lies (Broken, #1) - Claire Vale I requested a review copy from NetGalley, since the blurb sounded interesting. The wording was a mix of US English and UK English. I was able to discern what was going on with unfamiliar words and slang from context clues, but I did have to read more than a few sentences more than once to figure it out.
While the protagonist and her YA contemporaries were going through zombie-killing boot camp, I was reminded of some of my own experiences in NAVY Basic Training. We obviously didn’t train to kill zombies, but I was actually filled with a sliver of nostalgia for some of the good times in Basic Training.
The story did have some excellent themes of the young adult “finding their own way,” but much of the writing just seemed odd to me. It could be that my brain was trying to grapple with the US/UK English thing.
The story had just too much angst. The protagonist seemed to be too crippled by indecision and teenage angst to be a really likeable character. I felt more connected to her YA posse.
The last few chapters elicited a groan from me. It was as if the book didn’t know if it was a zombie story or what book two is obviously going to be. (I don’t want to spoil it.) It ended with a cheap cliffhanger, and obviously there will be at least another book. When this book is through, nothing of importance will be resolved – you gotta wait for book two or three for that.
I’m still awarding this three stars, because I suspect once the remaining books are written, it’ll be a fun read all the way through, despite the apparent change of genre in the last chapters.
