Dream cars have no registration plate...

One evening, Adam’s mum pops out for the milk and doesn’t come back, launching a frantic nationwide search. Yet after weeks with no leads, the television crews drift away, the police start asking hairy questions, and Adam’s dad starts seeing someone else. Adam’s life is falling apart. But then he meets Skye, who it seems has misplaced a parent too, and things start to look up. That is, until a body is found...(via Goodreads)

 I received an e-copy of this from Lee Murray and Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. This however did not influence my opinion of the book or of the author in any way.

Whenever I hear news about missing people, my heart aches for the people left behind. How will they continue to live without knowing what has happened to their loved one? At least with death comes a tiny little bit of closure but with missing, you'd have to cope with the hope that they'd come back which for me is far worse than anything else because it would only leave you hanging. Like your life is put on a pause because your loved one is nowhere to be found and life wouldn't just continue because of that.

I was pretty sure I'd love this because hey, a story like this is as compelling as just knowing its synopsis. How can I not be moved by a story as real as this one? A person goes missing everyday. Some of the missing ones before even emerges like they just went somewhere to buy food or anything. I remember hearing from news before that a missing woman was found almost after ten years. I cannot imagine how her family has felt that time. I'm just happy for them. But as unfortunate as life is, some people aren't found just like Adam's Mom, Tiffany. And I know this is purely fictional but for me, this novel is more of a representation of what happens to the ones left. Knowing that the author has a missing friend, my heart goes for you, Lee.

It happened all fast. If only Adam went to buy the milk. If only Adam wasn't as engrossed in his game. If only Adam didn't somehow took her Mom for granted that day. If I were Adam, I know I'd somehow end up blaming myself. His Mom asked him to buy the milk. If he did, would he be the one missing? Endless questions and What Ifs.

The way everything happened was heartbreaking, at least for me. I knew that Adam's Dad was in that situation which breaks my heart more because his Mom suddenly disappeared. Did she know what was going on? Did she run away because of it? I hate to say this but Adam's Dad was such a douche. Don't get me wrong. I know he had his own down moments about his wife missing. But the way he handled things weren't quite the way I imagined a Dad would. Especially with his new special someone in the picture. I'm not even saying that he shouldn't move on and stuff but Tiffany wasn't even missing for a year. The thing is, your wife is missing. You don't know where the hell is she and you have the time to be flirty with another woman? You're not even taking care of your only son. So how's that, right? Oh and yeah, different people has different ways of coping and that's his way so let him be.

Adam's relationship with Skye was cute and somehow fast. I know the author didn't want to put much detail into their relationship at the start because this would seem like a romance novel. Yet everything was fine because those two just connected at some point. What they did at the latter part of the novel was dangerous and an ironic thing. Adam just left without telling anyone except his best friend. He didn't even think of what his father would think or of Skye's mother. Though I guess those two learned a lesson or two.

At a situation like this, I'm thankful that Adam's Granddad has Alzheimer's. He will only have to remember how her daughter keeps on visiting him and not being missing. I know he knows deep inside what happened but somehow he just chose to remember the good times. Him having Alzheimer's made Adam realized that no matter what, his Mom will always be with him though not physically.

Aside from Adam's Dad, another thing that somehow bothered me was Tiffany's best friend. Her awkwardness made me think if she knew where Tiffany was or that she just cannot face what happened. It just seemed so weird. Yet just as they say, you'd know the people who truly loves you in times of trouble.

I know I'm saying a lot already but given that this is almost a reflection of reality, I just want to keep talking. And I know that no words can ever amount to comfort those who are left behind. The only thing I can think of is just pray that somewhere your loved one is already safe may it be in death or the living.

Misplaced is a heart-wrenching take about a missing person. It's not your guide on how to cope after missing your loved one. It's more of a companion to your situation that somewhere in this world, you are not alone in facing such hardships.

P.S. I felt like I wrote an essay and not a review so forgive me for that. The topic of this novel is just so real that I cannot help but say those insights.

Coe is one of the few remaining teenagers on the island of Tides. Deformed and weak, she is constantly reminded that in a world where dry land dwindles at every high tide, she is not welcome. The only bright spot in her harsh and difficult life is the strong, capable Tiam—but love has long ago been forgotten by her society. The only priority is survival.

Until the day their King falls ill, leaving no male heir to take his place. Unrest grows, and for reasons Coe cannot comprehend, she is invited into the privileged circle of royal aides. She soon learns that the dying royal is keeping a secret that will change their world forever.

Is there an escape from the horrific nightmare that their island home has become? Coe must race to find the answers and save the people she cares about, before their world and everything they know is lost to the waters.(via Goodreads)

I received an e-copy of this from Nichola Reilly and Lady Readers BookStuff Blog Tours in exchange for an honest review. This however did not influence my opinion of the book or of the author in any way.

Review

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. I was so overwhelmed with all the information about the world Coe lived in that in more than one occasion, I absolutely had no idea what was going on. So yeah, not even about 10% of the book, I was so close to DNF-ing it. But you know, curiosity got the better of me.

I haven't read a Dystopia in awhile so I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. The world-building at the start was so, how do you say it? It was jam-packed with all details, from general to specific that I got lost more than once. Then it focused on the characters then back to world-building at times. I would have enjoyed this more if the start wasn't that quite generous with all those details. It was too much for me. Especially with all the counting of the tides. Yet I was thankful that I continued reading till the end because I got to understand the totality of the world they lived in. On how it started to become like that, on how the leaders became the leaders and so on and so forth. I can say that at the end of the novel, the world-building was fine as a whole. At least, there was a redeeming point for me.

Imagining living in a world as such makes me cringe because I feel like I would be literally stuck in an island for my whole life. It's not as if you can go anywhere other than the platform especially when the waves come in. Being stranded in an island is already scary as it is for me but living in there would probably be the worst. That's why I admire how Coe and the others were able to live through it. Given that they have their designated work to do and those little parasites that can just kill them immediately. Not mentioning that Coe having lost an arm makes me admire her more. And the fact that she is the only one who can read (her father gave her a journal and a fairy tale book) among all of them made me think that she is indeed special. And damn was she. The underlying surprise for her identity was really a surprise for me. Though in the end, I cannot understand how that happened to her. The one explaining why she was able to not drown. I'm looking for more explanation for that on the sequel.

As much as I admire Coe for her survival skills, I don't understand why she did that at the end. I know she was faithful to Tiam and I know those two have it in together but as many times as Coe saved him, I just cannot understand how was she able to do what she did at the end. Curious are you? Well, let's just say that she did what she had to do given the situation BUT STILL. I guess she really listens to all what Tiam tells her. Or I actually felt like it was the only thing that could happen or else there'd be a lot of issue at the sequel. The princess was another character I cannot understand. She was all, "Tiam is my life, my love." But hey, she NEVER did anything risky to help him. Maybe they have different definitions of love as to their living conditions. So whatever, I'd let them off the hook for that. I know that Coe was the only one who knows a lot among all of them anyway. Finn too, I felt like his character was just put there to introduce chaos. I guess the characters weren't that much given the opportunity to be known by the readers. Most of them were introduced to be as such then something happens so their personality would change. Some of the characters' growth wasn't that much convincing for me.

Drowned was surprisingly a good read for me. Such a unique premise for the genre. You'd be totally asking for more once you read the end.


10 Thing You Didn't Know About DROWNED



1. I actually wrote DROWNED many years ago, but was too busy writing paranormal books under my Cyn Balog name to have a chance to revise it.
2. The first title I had for it was TIDES (that was the document name), and then I changed it to DREAM KINGDOM, which is part of one of my favorite poems, The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot. The chapter headings and many of the images in the book are derived from the poem.
3. Originally one of the first scenes in the book was the remaining children in “school”, reciting the tides timetables for the coming week so that they would make sure that they didn’t get carried away by the ocean, like some children had a few days before. I deleted it because the society I wanted to portray was too far-gone to care about whether children were 1) schooled, and 2) safe.
4. I wrote about 3 or 4 drafts of the book. Finn wasn’t in any of the early drafts.
5. DROWNED comes from me spending my summers on the Jersey Shore. I’ve watched many a tide come in and take away precious things with it. Luckily, no people. But I’ve always been awed by the enormous power of the ocean.
6. While writing DROWNED, I had more than one nightmare about drowning.
7. In the book it says that Tiam was named for Tiamat, the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of the ocean. She is also referred to as the “chaos monster” and it is her body that formed all things. Coe was named after the fish Corvina.
8. I wore a sock on my hand and did a bunch of activities with one hand to see if they were possible, and how much harder they would be. Originally it was Coe’s left hand that was missing. But then I accidentally wrote that she was missing her right hand on the art sheet, so they designed the book with her missing her right hand. Then I had to go back and change it in the manuscript.
9. There is a very detailed backstory to each of the characters on the island—I put it all together as I was writing the book. I could probably write a prequel with all the info I have. Just call me George Lucas.
10. Coe is obsessed with fairy tales, with romantic heroes and true love and things other people don’t care about, because a fairy tale book is the only surviving book in the land, and she is the only one who can read. I wanted to make her environment the complete antithesis of a fairy tale. Despite all the horrors she’s witnessed, she still maintains a wide-eyed, hopeful innocence and a belief in the happily ever after. Will she get it? I’m not saying . . . yet.

[Blog Tour] The Founder's Plot by Frank M. Victoria: Guest Post & Giveaway

The Founders' Plot
Author: Frank M. Victoria
Release date: August 1st 2012
Publisher: Self-Published
Series: N/A
Age Group: Adult
Genre: Contemporary / Government Issues
Tour organized by: Book Nerd Tours

Clarion Reviews – Five Stars: … an
intriguing and rich novel. The char-
acters, dialogue, and plot will
entertain readers…to the end.

Kirkus Reviews: … for a fictional
account of a contemporary political
dispute, this is a competent if not
inspiring option.


When California Governor Michael J. DiGrasso pushes through a tough immigration law, the Supreme Court declares it unconstitutional, but the decorated Vietnam veteran refuses to accept the ruling. This ignites a clash between federal, state, and judicial power that threatens to jar the country’s political and justice systems. And it leaves the governor’s long-time friend, President of the United States, Martin W. Ballard, with the decision of whether to federalize the California National Guard to enforce the Court’s order.

Tension increases when Elizabeth Stern, a savvy member of the opposition party tries to ram through a new immigration law that will pass judicial review. An expert in back-room legislative machinations, she’ll go to any length to force the governor to obey the Court decision, and her devious maneuvers throw DiGrasso’s personal and professional life into turmoil.

One subplot involves DiGrasso’s close personal friend, Congressman Manuel Mendoza, who is indicted for taking bribes. Another concerns two Mexican families in the country illegally and the tragedies that befall them because of the new immigration law.

The unfolding of these interwoven events creates a tense, fast-paced thriller that parallels the current tumult over illegal immigration and the on-going debate on Constitutional interpretation that will leave readers craving for the eventual outcome.(via Goodreads)

Guest Post


Which of the three do you think has the most power? Federal, state or judicial?

The federal government is by far the most powerful. And that is exactly the opposite of what the Founding Fathers desired. A strong central government was their greatest concern. I’m what they call a “Tenther,” meaning that I want more attention paid to Tenth Amendment, which states that: “ The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

Our colonists suffered through years of totalitarian rule by King George and wanted to ensure that any government they formed could not duplicate what Jefferson said were “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.” He then goes on to list nearly thirty despotic acts of the king.

The Founders detested the idea of a bloated and powerful central government that is not responsive to the people. That’s why our country’s first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, created an intentionally feeble central government.

And they were right in their anxiety. The government is now involved in almost every aspect of your life. It tells you what kind of light bulbs you’re allowed to use and dictates how much water you can have in your bathroom water closet. They tell private business owners how much to pay their employers. They’ve interfered in education, which should be in the control of the states and local governments, not bureaucrats in D.C.

And lately, we’ve seen what damage an unchecked federal government leads to. We have the IRS cracking down on fund raising groups because of their political views, the NSA gathering mega-data on private citizens gun-running into Mexico.

But the greatest folly is the Obama health care law. Forget all the computer glitches. It’s the philosophy behind the law that matters. The government is forcing citizens to buy insurance even if they don’t want it. Where in the Constitution does it allow the federal government to do that? Each state should develop its own health care system. Then, as the Founders would have liked, we have fifty different “laboratories” coming up with different solutions. If an idea proves successful, others can use it. If it’s a failure, others will avoid it. It should not be a one-size-fits-all approach.

To sum it up, I think that if the Founders were alive today, they’d start another revolution.

Genre: Contemporary / Romance

Music major Maddie Taylor just finished her junior year of college and has a summer internship lined up with the LA Philharmonic, yet every night she practices guitar and secretly dreams of a louder life. But geeky girls like her don't get to be rock stars. That is, until tattooed singer Jared Cross catches her playing guitar and invites her to join his band on The Sound, a reality TV show competition.

Once on the show, Maddie discovers there’s more to Jared than his flirty smile and bad boy reputation – and that he’s just as big a geek as she is. With each performance their attraction becomes impossible to ignore, but when the show pressures them to stay single they’re forced to keep their relationship secret.

As the competition heats up, Jared will do whatever it takes for his band to win, and Maddie must decide if following her dream is worth losing her heart. (via Goodreads)

I received an e-copy of this from Dianne of Oops I Read A Book Again in exchange for an honest review. This however did not influence my opinion of the book or of the author in any way..

Review

I remember Dianne telling me she cannot just contain all her feels while she was reading this one. I cannot relate to her at that time because I haven't read this yet. Though I immediately understood what she said when I was reading it myself. There was just so much tension you can't help but have the feels.

The beginning of More than Music was a blast in its own. Music was everywhere. I basically felt like I was in the same gig where Maddie and her friends went to. That gig was the start of everything for Maddie.

Maddie's immediate acceptance to the band was just what she needed. Yes, she definitely loved doing what she does in school but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a rock star blood in her. When it was time for her to make a decision, go through with the competition for weeks or attend her most prestigious internship at LA Philharmonic, it became clear to her that she didn't want to have any regrets. As much as it was scary for she was taking such a big risk, I was so proud that she was able to finally climb out of her comfort zone. And it was in her inner desires to do that anyway.

The journey that Maddie and the band went through during the competition was quite realistic. The way that The Sound was portrayed felt like I was watching The Voice. It was entertaining to read about how the bands were nervous before their audition, how their practices weren't perfect at all, how the judges act towards their band. It was totally a reality TV show. I don't know how reality TV shows really work but I do know that they have a lot of say about a lot of things that goes on within the show. So who knows what really is reality or not?

The romance between Maddie and Jared was full of tension since their first encounter. It was all there. I must say that there was an insta-attraction but they didn't just profess their love to each other. I swear I just want to bump their heads so that they'd wake up from all their flirting. Though I'd have to say that their flirting was all fun and just fun. Both of them were nerds about music and movie. It was funny how they interact with each other. They'd use references all the time and I even got LSS from some of the songs. Please, those two were just so cute. And swoony.

Despite me enjoying the romance between Maddie and Jared, I got the feeling that the solution was quite easy and just abrupt. Both of them have issues and I totally get where they're coming from. Maddie's problem had a very much concrete solution and Jared gave it to her and so they're good. JUST LIKE THAT. I somehow felt that it all came too fast. The way that Maddie handled things were a little immature for her own good and it annoyed me that she was expecting Jared to man up. Really, Maddie? It was just somehow toxic in a way. BUT whatever, I love those too and as long as they've patched things up, I'm good too.

Hey, can I get more Hector, please?

OH WAIT. I nearly forgot to tell you how the music here was so vibrant that I can hear Jared singing all the songs mentioned. Together with Hector, Kyle and Maddie, Jared knocked up a few good songs. Elizabeth did a great approach in capturing the essence of the music.

More than Music is a music-filled NA novel that will make you swoon over Jared. Need I say more? Kidding aside, this one will kick you up for the great music and writing.


Excerpt


Jared surveyed the room with a line of worry across his forehead. He wore a black button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, showing off his inked arms. His face had the perfect amount of stubble brushing his chin and framing his mouth, and even in this crowd, I couldn’t help but be drawn to him.

“You okay?” I asked, after he sighed for the fifth time.

Jared ran a hand through his hair, making it stick up more. It made him look even better somehow. “I didn’t think there would be so many people here, you know?”

“Yeah.” I didn’t mention that there were probably dozens more on their way or auditioning on other days because I understood how he felt. This was his chance to follow his dream, to make it big with his band, and now it seemed impossible in the face of all this competition. Villain Complex was good, but we’d only spent one night practicing together, and there were so many bands here, and oh god, the more I thought about it the more I might throw up.

“How about you?” he asked.

I pressed my hands to my stomach, willing it to be calm. “Honestly? No, I’m not okay.”

He laughed and sang my words to the tune of “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” by My Chemical Romance. He continued with the next lines in the song for a minute, and some of the other people around us turned to watch him serenading me. It should have been embarrassing, but instead it made me smile and some of the tension in my shoulders relaxed. It wasn’t every day a hot guy sang to me, after all.

He finished with an exaggerated bow, and I laughed. “Yes, that song popped into my head, too,”

I said. “Unintentional song reference, I promise.”

“It got you to laugh, so my work here is done,” he said, and I melted even more.
