Synopsis:


From the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of the Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic . . .

The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the academy would touch . . .

A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm

A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates

A smart-ass tech whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder

An alien warrior with anger-management issues

A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering

And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem--that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline cases, and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.

NOBODY PANIC.

My Opinion:

Once again I feel like these guys have knocked it out of the park. I enjoyed every bit of reading that I had with this. I loved the characters and enjoyed every moment that they were pushed through hoop after hoop. I did have the occasional issue with some of the characters as they felt flat but that quickly changed the further you get into the story. They each care about each other. I did have issues with the pilot several times because while it seems like she cares about her squad I feel like she's more about saving her own skin than the skin of her squad mates. Again I loved this and enjoy every moment of it.

My Opinion: I have to be really honest I got burned out by the time that I finished this book. I think that is because I read the first three of these in less than a week. I'm pretty sure I read these over the course of four days. By the end of this their orders have emerged. It's amazing honestly. However, the grudge that the girls h...

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 ...
