Ever since leaving Salvation and escaping the quarry, things had got better and better for Callie and the rest of the community.
But now a single afternoon has turned their world upside down.
The clock is ticking to save one of their own, and a simple plan becomes a foreboding quest.
They’re about to learn just how much the world has changed. They’re about to learn that they didn’t know what real fear was.
New friends, old foes and a treacherous journey mean not everyone will make it home.
If they get through today, none of their lives will be the same again.
MY REVIEW:
This is the 3rd book in the series and starts with heart-pounding action. You’ll have to hold onto your hats as it zips along from one encounter to the next. It can be a nail-biter.
We’re introduced to some old and new characters, as well as new and old enemies. This book does not finish up the series and there are tons of unanswered questions and events that need resolved. So, if you’re the type of reader that doesn’t want to wait for the next book to be come out, you may want to stay away from it. However, it’s well worth the wait.
What I liked was the world-building. Yes, it takes place on Earth, but the planet has changed. So has the social structures. And, again, I could see the research needed for Phil and his tribe to learn to live off what has started to grow after the cataclysmic event. It still got a bit preachy, but it didn’t distract from the story.
I do have some characters I love and I NEED to know what happened to Greenslade. As for Infinity, that’s an awesome concept but will it last? You know how us humans roll. And I’m curious about the Ferals. I think they might surprise us all.
What I didn’t like – Callie. The more I know her, the less I like her. She’s so self-righteous it grates on my nerves. She’s only 15 yeas old, has made some horrible decisions, and yet everyone follows her like she’s some sort of saint. Nope. Also, everyone is so conscious of their limited resources, yet they use their guns like they have an endless supply of bullets.
I’m very much looking forward to what happens next in the Burning Tree saga. I highly recommend the series to fans who love YA, action adventure, and dystopian tales. I give it 5 stars.

“Wow! What a very informative book. While I’m no longer a single mom, but the wisdom you present in your book, definitely would’ve come in handy when I was mothering my first-born son. I have since married and my son is a 23-year-old now, and I have three more sons with my husband. I hate I didn’t try harder to put more time and effort into providing a strong financial plan for him. I guess, the ROSE in this is that I can always start now.

Master Storytellers Will Rodgers and Andy Griffith Come to Mind in the Audio Book, Christ at the Coffee Shop
Written by Nathan Ingram thisnostalgic collection of short stories demonstrates how anyone can find God in common places.!!!
Published by Tranquility Ranch Publishing and available in all formats
Many of us would like to see God but can’t find Him!
Speaking directly to the hearts of ordinary people. Nathans’s direction points to God’s presence in our everyday lives and magnifies a God of the common places. It focuses on an omnipotent Deity who chooses to make Himself known within each day’s events.
With a keen eye for comforting uncomfortable people and a passion for magnifying God, Nathan’s stories flow with life and reverberate with a single, compelling message—God came near and dwelt among us. Nathan has a passion for magnifying God with his stories and messages in Christ at the Coffee Shop.
Ingram points out that although many of us would like to see God we are unable to find Him, believing He only expresses Himself through blinding insights or peak experiences of some sort. However, the book’s message is that if we must travel to the mountaintops to see God, most of us will miss Him. This book reaches out with clarity that He is near.

Today, Ingram resides on a ranch in Magnolia, Texas, with his wife and an assortment of horses and other animals. He and his wife also own and operate Lone Star Behavioral Health, a psychiatric facility specializing in the treatment of persons with severe and persistent mental illness.

Holden Collier hates superheroes. Unfortunately, he is one. Selfish, crass and intentionally anti-social, Holden avoids people at all costs until he is found by a clandestine group of hero collectors called “the syndicate”, who pit individuals like Holden against a cast of supervillains, all for sport. But there is an escape—an enigmatic figure called the lantern, who has the power to grant Holden his release from the syndicate. However, the freedom that the lantern offers is not what Holden expects. In reality, it’s much, much worse.
Part Time Superhero is a raunchy, mind-bending tale featuring a foul-mouthed, fourth-wall-breaking antihero, several “what the…?” twists and just a smidge of good, old-fashioned graphic violence. The book is in the same vein as the Deadpool movies and finishes with an Inception-style ending that will make the reader re-examine everything they thought they knew. Fans of The Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson as well as superhero and comic book fans will enjoy this new, fast-paced novel. Chances are, you’ll read it all in one sitting!

Ever wonder how your favorite Reverse Harem started? Little girls and their dragons. Wanting nothing more but to meet the dragon in the cave, Risa will stop at nothing. Even if that means endearing it’s manservant the Hermit to her. Issac, the Hermit is bent on protecting his mountain and his secrets. When a little Changling girl appears at his cave it’s going to take all his will to keep her away. Little do they know this will be the beginning of a journey they will never forget… *Warning contains spoilers to Risa’s Destiny. Read with an open mind and utmost caution. **Hilarity and possible sniffles.
I’m not the type of person to talk about myself. Unlike my sisters. Ha Ha. Partly because I was extremely introverted when younger, and also because my dad was a firm believer of never airing your laundry in public. So, that was kinda ingrained in me. Don’t talk about yourself.
Then, I decided to become an author. As an author, we’re told that we HAVE to share ourselves with our readers. That they want to know us and our thought processes. Really? I was a reader way before I published a book and never needed to know anything about my favorite authors. Maybe I’m strange that way? Who knows.
On the other hand, who really cares what I think? I know I don’t most of the time. But after Julie and I started Norns, it became even more important, I guess? So, we started ‘corners’ in our newsletter and came up with cutesy names like Julie’s Jewels, Sahara’s Saviors, and Karen’s Korner to feature more of our personal side. I encourage you to join our newsletter as it’s packed with amazing book deals and Julie does a wonderful job putting it together.
Sometimes it’s hard coming up with ideas for the newsletter. What do I talk about? So guess what I did? I told Julie, Hey, I’m gonna start a new blog series called #SaharasMusings. Say what?
Yeah, you know, like I don’t already have the time or know what to say, but I’ll just start blogging about shit I think of when sitting on my patio while sipping a few beers. Which is where THIS idea came from.
Maybe I’ll be inspired enough to finish the two books I’ve been dickering around with like forever. So stay tuned. You’ll never know what I’ll start spouting about.
A child that should not have been born in the Rimworlds, is hidden behind the impenetrable wall that screens the dominion of frontier gods from the tribal factions. Shortly before they were slaughtered by New Hebrides pirates, baby’s parents named her Miranda. She is the hereditary princess of Bollidor, and a Duchess on her father’s side. But the little girl doesn’t know any of this. Her caretakers named her Kitaya. It is a name that fits the frontier—primitive, raw and savage. Yet it fits her far better than those other aristocratic titles of the DeWynter Dynasty.
The blockade of the passage to the Rimworlds lasts thirteen years. Then finally, the Confederation manages to push the pirates back to their region in New Hebrides. And Admiral DeWynter, who had buried the mother part of herself for many years, allows it to surface. She sends a single ship through the newly liberated passage. The captain has orders to ascertain what happened to Commander Daniel DeWynter and his wife. There is little hope that any of the Allied personnel stationed on Synoor at the time of the attack, survived.
Kitaya’s caretakers would prefer to keep her on Synoor. It’s the only home she’s ever known. However, something so extraordinary happens that the frontier gods have no choice but to return the child to those who came to look for her parents.
Keenly aware that they are releasing someone who should have never existed to join the human ranks, the frontier gods worry they may have doomed galactic humanity. The only consolation they have is that when risks seem to outweigh the benefits, the Universe seeks to re-balance itself. Because somewhere on the other end of the galaxy, another little girl stands on the lip of a horrendous crater, trying to understand the nature of the tragedy that orphaned her at such a young age. And this little girl understands the meaning of revenge only too well….
