Not all will be saved
One glorious summer, Luke's family is torn apart. He's expecting nothing more sinister than exams, while his sister Abi anticipates university. But they'll be separated to do their slavedays - a decade of labour demanded by law, enforced by a magically-skilled aristocracy.
Luke will dream of rebellion in a barbaric factory town. Abi will navigate the malice of a high-born estate, and find an unlikely love. But the siblings must choose sides as Britain moves from anger to defiance. They'll become entangled in acts of savagery and magic, as nobles vie for power. No one is safe and none will emerge unscathed. Is there a better way - or will a dangerous young aristocrat remake the world with his dark gifts?

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger (#1) - Stephen King
Series: The Dark Tower
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
Format: Audiobook
Time: 7hrs 19mins
Narrator: George Guildhall
Rating: 2/5 (It Was OK) ★★


Goodreads Blurb

In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, The Last Gunslinger.

He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues The Man in Black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the Kid from Earth called Jake. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

REVIEW: The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood

The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
Publisher: Vintage Publishing
Format: Paperback
Rating: 2/5 (It Was OK) ★★

Goodreads Blurb

Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now...

REVIEW: Midnight Crossroad (#1) - Charlaine Harris

Midnight Crossroad (#1) - Charlaine Harris
Series: Midnight Texas
Publisher: Orion Publishing Co
Format: Paperback
Rating: 3/5 (liked it) ★★★

Blurb from Goodreads:


From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale - populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that’s how the locals prefer it...

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.

There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).

Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...

Welcome

Welcome to Neverending TBR and it does exactly what it says on the tin (so to speak).

I am an absolute lover of books and thought that keeping a blog might help me as a book journal sort of.

So join me on this ride and let's see how I do when it comes to reviewing the books that I am reading

Thanks
