20665067"An Ancient Island Holds an Ancient Secret . . .
Nick Hennessy, a young Texas journalist yearning for his big break, finds himself in Europe--his assignment, to investigate the alarming disappearance of invaluable Grecian antiquities. Nick has the credentials--and cover ID--to unearth the truth. And he knows just the researcher to help him...
Carey Mathers, fresh from her studies in forensic archaeology, " "has accepted a job with the prestigious Athens Institute for Antiquities--a dream come true, really, particularly when the Greek isle of Patmos, where the Apostle John received his vision of the Apocalypse, was a particular focus of her research.
Dimitri Rubinos, for whom the Greek islands represent his life, holds on by his fingernails to the family charter boat business. But his country's economic chaos isn't the only thing that has turned his world on its head..."-Goodreads

The Patmos Deception by Davis Bunn was really good and I highly enjoyed it. It had some flaws, but it was still entertaining. One of the few flaws it has was that it starts off kind of slow. This was is why it took me so long to start reading it, but afterwards I got into it and finished it in a few sittings. One other flaw was the epilogue, I has not a fan. Especially how he rushed the romance in said epilogue. As for things I liked, there was the plot and the characters. I thought the story line was good and that the characters were interesting and well developed. I did like the romance in the beginning as it was slow and it felt real. If that makes sense... But as I said he rushed the romance in the epilogue. While I was not a fan of the epilogue, I was a fan of how the crime evolved and how the crime was solved. I thought it was really good. The last thing I have to say is that Bunn was really good at describing his plot, characters, and settings. Like wow..

I would recommend it if you are into crime and adult books. I will leave all of the usual links below!

Happy Reading!

Anyone? by Angela Scott

I finished this book in about three hours... I also tweeted her to see if there would be a sequel...which I want really bad... " The end of the world? That’s the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters and deep philosophical exercises in school. No need to sweat it. So when sixteen-year-old Tess’s doomsday-dad builds a bomb shelter in their suburban backyard, everyone thinks he’s gone crazy…. …Until fire rains down from the sky, sinking whole cities into colossal craters and setting much of the world ablaze. Tess’s dad gives her a few short minutes to gather her emergency bag and her freaked-out kitten, then leads her outside and into the underground shelter. Terrified, the last thing she expects is for him to leave her there all alone, but he has no choice—he must find her missing brother. Before leaving, he makes Tess promise to keep the hatch door shut, not to open it for anyone but him, and to stay put until he returns. But he forgot to tell her one thing: What is she ...

This is a rough idea of the books I'll be reading or trying to read. Three of the six books were recommended to me by MonsterMen13 on YouTube...well not exactly to me but in general.  Also just because I wrote down six books does not mean I'll get to them or that I will read six books.  **The themes are based off of the summary and friends** Stardust by Neil Gaiman ; started Spooky Theme: Witches...
