This series by Chris Morphew of six caught me off guard. I began it knowing that I just wanted to see if it was good for a friend, but almost immediately I was hooked. Despite the fact that I tried so hard not to fall for the suspenseful nature of it, it dragged me in nevertheless. So, I'm assuming it'll do the same for you. Here you go.
The end of the world is in 100 days. The moment Luke Hunter steps into the seemingly perfect town Phoenix, the countdown starts. He receives a flash drive with Jordan Burke's initials on it, and with Peter Weir's help, they find out that Luke's suspicious observations may be a little too close to correct. Suddenly, saving the world is their problem, and it's up to them to save the human race before it's too late.
I would highly recommend this new series...rating it at 4.7 stars. (For those of you who don't understand decimals, just round it up to 5.)
WARNING: The sixth book nearly drove me up the wall with suspense. Be prepared to stay up all night.

Book Review: Money Run
Hi guys, it's me. Back from the dead, you could say. Well, my lil' bro' recommended this book to me, and I took a chance on it. I was surprisingly satisfied by it. Jack Heath also wrote The Lab, which I quit after a few chapters because, let's face it, I hated it. However, he redeems himself with Money Run.
Ashley Arthur ("Please, call me Ash") is a fifteen-year-old thief. Teamed up with Benjamin, they rely on "The Source" to send them their next targets. The book begins with them taking on their biggest challenge yet: stealing $200 million. While Benjamin is the "behind the scenes" tech geek, Ash will be the one physically in the building finding the cash. While trying to simply take the money and run, Ash soon realizes that she gets more than she bargains for: at the same time, assassin Peachy is preparing to kill the millionaire and is prepared to get rid of anybody who stands in his way.
All things considered, I would rate it four stars. It was very fast paced, which eliminated a lot of suspense, but the twist at the end was what really made my decision. Guys will like this book as well as girls (my younger brother proved) so I would recommend it to just about anybody between the ages of 12 and 15.
So, hurry over to your local library and give it a try. I'll return it soon, trust me, and it'll be all yours.
