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.

It was a quick read that I was very much enjoying. I managed to finish it in about thirty minutes. Mom life and all that kept me from being able to read it as quickly as I really wanted to. But this book was cute. I enjoyed watching the two of them meet. The cute way that they met in a coffee shop and him offering to pay for her coffee without knowing much about her. The way they made plans for Valentine's Day without knowing much about each other. Him being quick to protect her when they went back for the dog. T...

Baker's Corner-Herbed Crockpot Bread

Preparing to make this bread. Yes, you read that right! Herbed Crock Pot Bread. I probably thought the same thing that you are thinking right now. You can make bread in the crockpot?!? Where the heck has this been all my life! So I decided that I would try this recipe and I'll let a link to where I found the recipe at the bottom along with the recipe itself. I want to give credit where credit is due. So anyways I was pretty stoked to find a recipe that I could make bread in the crockpot. I want to go ahead and make note that all crockpots are different and not all of them cook at the same temperature. So while the times in this may work for you they did not work for me. The recipe is simple to do and fairly quick in the process if you have all of the ingredients on hand. I thought I had all the ingredients on hand only to discover I did not so a quick trip to the Dollar General was in order. Sadly they did not have the items I needed so I made a quick trip next door to ...
