Meet This Book - Saving Eden by K R S McEntire
Meet This Book
Saving Eden:
A YA Dystopian / Post-Apocalyptic Adventure
By K. R. S. McEntire
☆°•*☆*•°☆°•*☆*•°☆
Sixteen-year-old Angela and her father are the last survivors on earth. She dreams of adventure and romance but only finds it in books. In the confines of her garden paradise, she’s untouched by contaminants that caused the rest of humanity to mutate into murderous beasts or die. But staying in the garden sure gets lonely.
When a seventeen-year-old boy stumbles upon Angela’s home with news about a thriving community, his presence challenges everything she knew about the world. She dares to leave her garden for the first time to find a better home.
In the authoritarian society that she finds the line between man and mutant is murkier than she expected. Secrets from Angela's past reemerge, and she learns life outside the garden isn't all it's cracked up to be. Her father is in danger, and the men tasked with protecting the settlement are extremely fond of murder. With their lives on the line, can Angela create one last happy ending in a hopeless world?
Fans of dystopian societies, post-apocalyptic futures, diverse characters, fantasy, and coming-of-age adventures with heart will fall in love with this post-apocalyptic fairy tale.
Reader Reviews:
"This debut novel was filled with vivid descriptions. The author takes readers on a dystopian journey through hell and back. I was rooting for Angela the entire time! My favorite part is the message of hope laced through the bleak atmosphere of the world portrayed in the story. This is a great YA dystopian tale with some almost magical twists you don’t want to miss."
“I absolutely enjoyed reading “Saving Eden,” I found a lot of heart-gripping moments and chuckles as I saw an adventure unroll on the pages.”
“This is such a great book! The main character, Angela, is reminiscent of Rapunzel in her dreaming of what exists beyond the garden she's grown up in. However, Angela can't help but to wonder what else the world has to offer her. A fairy tale meets a dystopian landscape where everyone is just searching for their own happy ending.“
You can read this book for FREE if you have Kindle Unlimited!

CHAPTER ONE, PART TWO
FROM COLLISION OF LIES
BY TOM THREADGILL
Yeah, and she mostly loved the job. But her Saturday plans didn’t include arbitrating personal conflicts. Armed robbery, home break-in, even a shoplifter couldn’t ruin her day off. But this was asking too much for too little. She shrugged and bit into a thick piece of bacon. “A little overcooked today. Tell Ruby there’s a difference between crispy and charcoal.”
He slapped his hands together into a praying position. “Please? I’ll bring out some fresh pancakes for you. And the meal’s on the house this morning.”
She leaned to the side and studied the couple. The woman wept while the man held her hand across the table.
“You know the rules,” Amara said. “Can’t take anything free. I’ll leave the usual and you can do what you want with it. Give it to Ruby for bacon-cooking lessons.”
“Deal,” he said. “Just go now, before we lose more business.”
“Next time, call the cops.” She tapped her elbow on the weapon in her belt holster and walked to the couple’s table. “Everything okay here?”
The man glared at her before turning his attention back to woman across from him. “Sorry. My wife’s a little emotional this morning.”
Yeah? Well, me too. She focused on his spouse. Her dark shoulder length hair had faint traces of blonde highlights, and bright red lipstick expanded her full lips. Swollen bags under her eyes added to the pudginess of her face. “Ma’am, everything okay?”
“No, it’s not.” Tears trickled down her face and she pulled her hand from her partner’s, then dabbed her cheeks with a napkin.
The man straightened. “Now, honey, let’s not—”
Amara held up her hand. “Let her talk.” The corners of his mouth dropped, and he shifted his body to face the newcomer. “Who do you—”
“Detective Amara Alvarez. San Antonio PD.” She showed her ID. “I don’t know what’s going on here and, honestly, don’t need to know. As long as I’m certain your wife’s not in any danger, I’ll let you get back to your breakfast. But you have to keep the noise down.”
“In danger?” the woman said. “From who?”
“In danger?” the woman said. “From who?”
Amara tilted her head toward the husband. “From him.”
The woman’s mouth hung open and she blinked several times. “What? No. I mean . . . no. Why would you think that?”
“Police, remember?”
The woman cleared her throat and sipped her water to compose herself, then slid over and patted the seat. “Would you mind sitting for a moment, Officer? I’m Marisa Reyes and he’s my husband, Enzo.”
“Detective. And I really don’t want to get involved unless this is a police matter.”
Mr. Reyes crumpled his napkin and deep wrinkles lined his forehead. “It’s not.”
His wife’s shoulders spasmed as another wave of hysterics neared.
“How can you say that? Of course it is.” “Honey, you have to let it go.”
“Do I?” The woman’s voice shook. “You sure let it go in a hurry, didn’t you?”
Amara’s shoulders sagged, and she sat and angled herself toward Mrs. Reyes. “Tell me what’s going on.”
“She got a text this morning,” the husband said, “and it has her all stressed out. I told her to ignore it. Either a prank or wrong number. Not worth getting all worked up over.”
His wife brushed her hand under her eyes. “How can you be so sure? You can’t know it wasn’t him.”
Amara turned to face the woman beside her. “Tell me about the text.”
“A message came about two hours ago from a number I didn’t recognize. ‘Help me, Mom.’ That’s all it said. When I tried to respond, my phone said the number was no good.” She flattened her palms on the table and took a deep breath. “I know it’s from Benjamin, our son. I can’t explain it, but the text is from him.”
Amara dangled her arm across the back of the seat. “Have you called your son to see if he’s okay?”
“Detective”—Mr. Reyes grabbed his wife’s hand and squeezed— “there’s no point. Benjamin’s been dead for three years.”

Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale Reader Review - Well Written Fantasy
Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale
Reader Review
By vermont reviewer
Sybrina Durant has brought to life in the pages of her story The Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm Illustrated a combination of fantasy and mythology. When Blue is born there is a prophesy spoken over him. One that foretells the saving of the tribe of unicorns. I also loved the illustrations throughout the story. Will Ghel help Blue realize his worth to the tribe? Can Girasol the firebird help find the way through the Muzika Woods. The answer to these questions and more about the unicorn tribe will be found by reading this well written story.
