Escape from Furnace: Execution; First Impressions

After reading just two chapters of the whole book, I am already very perplexed. The fist couple of sentences talk about Alex Sawyer in his berserker form. He is climbing on top of the tallest building in some city of England. He realizes in his earlier flash-forward from the previous book that it was him; the monster on the building. The government takes Alex down with two attack helicopters. As he drifts off in the distance, he awakes into a flashback. Alex is alone, in the middle of the woods. He can's move. Eventually, he sees Alfred Furnace crucified on a pine tree as a little boy. After being charged for murder and sentenced to die, he looks straight at Alex and mouths "I didn't do it."

The chapter ends there, and I have no idea from where the book will go. I am very intrigued and confused at the same time. I look forward to reading more. As of right now, we have a blog post break for 2 weeks. I will not post until then. Bye now!

Escape from Furnace: Execution

I have finally decided to revive one of my favorite book series. The Escape from Furnace series is written by Alexander Gordan Smith. It has 5 books total, which I thought there were only 4! I will now be reading the last installment, Execution. This series is about the framing of Alex Sawyer. After the Summer Massacre, all teen offenders were to be put in a hellish prison a mile below the ground. Alex and his new found prison friends must find a way out, after realizing there are no rules when you are below hell.

I have loved every single one of these books thus far. They are a mix of action, horror and mystery. You will love the chase scenes as well as the "hair stands on the back of your neck" ones. Side note, can be pretty gruesome at times. I will read this over the next week and give you updates. Have a great day.

Book Suggestions?

After finishing Legend, I have had a very hectic week. With no time whatsoever, I could not decide on a book to start reading. Therefore, I ask you all to give me your suggestions on great novels. I will try my best to buy the book that interests me the most to read next. I would prefer action and adventure, but I do not mind mystery or historical fiction. Leave your suggestions below in the comments, please. Until next week. Have a great day!

Legend: Final Conclusion

Over the past month, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading every part of this intense novel. Marie Lu created a beautiful story using her writer's craft. This involved so many plot twists in the last few chapters, that I don't want to give away any. Read the ending for yourself. You will truly be satisfied. 

Legend is a series of books. I am looking forward to reading every one. I hope the next books are not like the Hunger Games series. I do not want a terrible ending to the series like Mockingjay. Please leave a comment below if you have read the book's ending. Let me know what you thought of it. Not sure what book I will read next. Be sure to look for my next post. Have a nice day!
