#Review of Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia (Alcatraz, #3) by @BrandSanderson

Nancy Pearl loves this series and we do too!

When Alcatraz and Grandpa Smedry make a pilgrimage to the Free Kingdom city of Crystallia, the Smedry home base, Alcatraz is shocked to see that he is, in fact, a legend. When he was a baby he was stolen by the Evil Librarians, and his mother, a Librarian herself, was behind the whole scheme. Now, with his estranged father, who is acting indeed strange, Bastille, who has been stripped of her armor, and Grandpa Smedry, who is, as always, late to everything (that's his Talent), Alcatraz tries to save a city under siege. From who? Why, the Librarians of course!

#Shadowhunters Saturday: That KISS!! and the newest discussion with @emmmabooks

Welcome to another post about Shadowhunters!  At the time I'm writing this we just got a front row seat of Alex and Magnus sucking face. And well a ton of people had issues with this.  My biggest question is this though.  Since they aged Clary to 18 did they do that with the rest of the kids? Because could this have been what would have happened if Alex would have been older?  I know that these are not supposed to be word for word via the books like most shows but they should stay true to the character themselves.  

Im still so all over the place with this show. It has its good parts then its really really bad parts. and its just ugh all over!

#TakeControlTBR: The Arrivals by Melissa Marr

Heres another update on my picks for April so far it hasn't been good!  This one The Arrivals would have been much much better if the world that the people were tossed into would have had a better explanation. World building is a must in my book for the most part and this one lacked that in spades.   The other thing was that it was pretty boring once it got started.  So for me this one won't be sticking around.

#Review of The Epidemic (The Program 0.6) by @suzanne_young & #Giveaway via @simonteen

Can one girl help others find closure by slipping into the identities of their loved ones? Find out in this riveting sequel toThe Remedy and companion to the New York Times bestselling The Treatment and The Program.

In a world before The Program…

Quinlan McKee has spent her life acting as other people. She was a closer—a person hired to play the role of the recently deceased in order to give their families closure. Through this process, Quinn learned to read people and situations, even losing a bit of herself to do so. But she couldn’t have guessed how her last case would bring down her entire world.

The only person Quinn trusts is Deacon, her best friend and the love of her life. Except Deacon’s been keeping secrets of his one, so Quinn must set out alone to find Arthur Pritchard, the doctor who’s been trying to control her life. The journey brings Quinn to Arthur’s daughter, Virginia, who tells Quinn the truth about Pritchard’s motives. The former closer will start to see that she is the first step in fighting an epidemic.

But Quinlan doesn’t want to be a cure. And with all the lies surrounding her, she realizes she has no one left to rely on but herself—even if she doesn’t know who that is anymore.
