Synopsis:

Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed.

The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.

Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy’s most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.

When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station’s wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands.

But relax. They’ve totally got this. They hope.


My Opinion:

So have you ever read a book that you are so into that you just get lost in it?

For me this was that book. I have had several of those books in my life before. But last night as I finished reading the last hundred pages or so I really got sucked in. I had to know what happened. I spent an amazing amount of time with this book. I read the first one either early this year or late last year. I enjoyed it never the less. So when this book had a release date it became my most anticipated release.

The twist and the turns made the roller coaster the best one yet and I'm sure the last one will not disappoint. I cried and laughed and cried even more as characters died and then lies were discovered and I cried some more hoping it not to be true. This book was an emotional roller coaster. One I did not want to get off of.

I love the style the book is written in. It keeps the reader engaged as they learn more and more about the sinister plots that Bi-Tech has been doing. If you have not read this series yet I highly recommend it.

365 Movie

365 Days Movie Review I have to start off with saying that this movie does have English and Polish spoken throughout the movie. If that is not something you yourself think you will like this movie is not for you. This movie does have triggering themes. Please check your triggers. However, one trigger is kidnapping because our main female character is in face kidnapped. We also have mafia themes included with this as well. So let's talk about how Lara is not exactly in the best relationship to begin with. It sucks her boyfriend in my opinion is an asshole who just likes the fact that he's got some amazing arm candy. That's what it feels like he is doing because when she is trying to engage him in activity he reminds her about her 'poor' heart. Yes, she does have a heart condition but adult activities should not bother it that badly. What are you hiding Martin? Hmmm We then find them leaving for Italy the next morning. They get to the hotel and they are drinking outsi...

Two Long Years

 It's been two long years since my last post and I'd love to say that I remember this blog like it was meant to be but that would mean that I have been thinking about it every day since that last post and I just can't say that. In two years though I've read a little over a hundred books. Reading took a back seat. But since my last post was in January of 2022 I can say that it's been a rough time. What was supposed to be a breeze has not been. We've been dealing with bullying teachers. Dual enrollment. Marching Band. Bullying from peers. It's been a long two nearly three years. I'll do a short reintroduction to me in my next post. Whenever that may be. Stick with me and maybe we'll see how long I can remember to post. <3 Annie
