Very little about this story beyond the first 1-2 hours make any sense.
It's at best a bad LSD trip.
Furthermore, the MC is a pathetic pushover that smiles and nods to everything that happens to her because if she would make a single rational decision the plot would fall apart entirely. The only thing that keeps any semblance of the plot alive is one absurd plot convenience after another.
I don't think the story could've been more absurd if god himself tried to navigate the stupidest person alive through a nuclear war. I am honestly not sure if this was supposed to be humorous but to me, it was just bad. Haha, a badly traumatized woman that only wants people to leave her alone and live a quiet existence got exposed by a self-absorbed asshole and is now being chanced by murderous secret government groups. Haha, so funny. Oh, and even worse, the guy that got her into all this, pulling not one but multiple unforgivable stunts, is obviously the future love interest.
I don't know what the author was smoking when she wrote this book but I want some. Life might look a lot rosier after that.

Dnf after 4 hours of the audiobook.
The audiobook is quite strange as well. There is a male and a female narrator but the story is told from the third person and it's frequently not quite clear which perspective we are following so the narration just switches randomly between the two narrators depending on which perspective we might be seeing but it doesn't quite fit and sometimes it switches in the middle of a sentence even. I think there are even examples of the narrator switching multiple times within the same sentence. It's really quite strange. It didn't actually annoy me nearly as much as I initially expected but it didn't add anything of value either. Usually, you want to either have clear sections of perspective without any head-hopping and each of those section is entirely narrated by the perspective voice, or you want the male narrator to narrate everything said or thought by a man and vice versa. This second variant is quite a bit more difficult to pull off because the two narrators have to be able to voice convincing dialogue which can be superb if they record together in the same studio but can also end up abysmally if neither knows how the other person voiced their lines and they are just patched together by the editor. But this audiobook does a strange hybrid missing out on the strengths but inheriting the weaknesses of both.
And while this doesn't help with the perceived book quality of course, I don't think it had a big impact on my overall abysmal experience with this book.… (more)

Rhiannon, aka Aqua Marine, is undergoing many of the struggles some of us may feel empathy with. I found this book quite entertaining. Though the story takes a few plot twists, the humor is enough that my family wanted to know why I was chuckling. I found the characters relatable, even being superheros. Rhiannon could be any of us. The author has a way of writing that makes you chuckle and laugh as you read. I love this author's writing. It's contemporary and has a way of pulling you in all the way until the end. I was engaged from the start and couldn't put it down until the end. You have to try this one. I know you won't be sorry. Fantasy lovers must read this one.… (more)

This book was a sweet change from your usual end-of-the-world zombie tales. Baron is just trying to survive a zombie apocalypse and finds himself prisoner to Thalia. Once you start you just can't put it down. Baron is just trying to lay low but once he finds trouble all hell breaks loose. The characters are fantastic. Baron is rebellious, yet he's just trying to survive. Thalia is a bit badass, yet just trying to save her people. The supporting characters cracked me up. They just all meshed together. The plot all came together. I found it to be refreshing. As I said, a nice change from the usual zombie plots, thank you! I would give more than a 5 if I could. Now, from one reader to the other, get out there and buy this book. You'll love it.… (more)

This self-help book did deliver on giving clear and concise advice on making good decisions for selling your work at Cons aka Conventions. But what I thought would only be a swiftly spoken manual on what to do or how to attain sales turned out to be a guide on the do’s and don’ts – but also answered some questions I didn’t think of before reading this. Everything from what kind of Cons you should be thinking of selling at to how to stack your books is given in this book, along with a few side stories from the author about other things you may encounter at Cons. I really enjoyed the way everything was lain out in the book and the tips/tricks given. This was a quick read that really opened my eyes to the selling of books at Cons, and I recommend this for anyone who’s looking for some information on selling at these types of events!… (more)
