-

                                                                    Today's Question :
Welcome to Day #4 of the Book Blogger Appreciation Week , Today's treasure is titled "Forgotten Treasures".

Today’s Topic:  Sure we’ve all read about Freedom and Mockingjay but we likely have a book we wish would get more attention by book bloggers, whether it’s a forgotten classic or under marketed contemporary fiction.  This is your chance to tell the community why they should consider reading this book!
( Though I have to admit I haven't read either book LOL )

                                                                Today's Answer:

                                                            7th Son: Descent
7th Son: Descent: J.C Hutchins - 2009

I don't normally venture into Science Fiction but books about Genetics and Cloning, I have always found intriguing.


Imagine if cloning people were possible, what the world would be like and the amazing lengths technology could go to, to clone someone, implant memories, habits etc. As America reels in from the horrible tragedy of the assassination of their president -("Watch out Barack- I had a name blank I was going to call him Oback LOL) across the other side of the state -a group of seven men are being kidnapped and taken to a facility , none of the seven men know each other . Each has a different career, lifestyle, family etc .However all these men share alot more in common than they all expected. Each of these seven men have the name variations "John Michael Smith”, they are all identical in experience and have shared each other’s memories. They are all clones of one man John Smith whom they call Alpha. Killing the president was only Alpha's beginning; he has come back from being dormant for years and his now embarking on a killing psychopathic spree. It’s up to these seven men to combine their talents as a group their uniqueness and qualifications can stop him. Can they reach the Alpha John in time or will more people die and can they put aside what differences they have to save the world in time or is it one big failure? An excellent read about Cloning , Implanting memories and the affects it can have on the clones and the people who raised them - whoever said clones had no feelings didn't know what they were talking about.

    I hadn't heard of this books. It sounds good and goes along with the other cloning related books I've read, so added it to my reading list. Thanks

    I don't read a lot of science fiction either, but this one certainly does sound interesting! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
