Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author Christina J. Adams for a Read 4 Review of her book Fadeout by Christina J. Adams Fadeout.

Thirteen-year-old Silas fears the day when guards come and remove his memories leaving him an empty shell. He is trapped in the Cartiam, a human farm, and knows escape is not possible, but he can’t stop thinking about it. Especially when his older sister Malina is terrified her time will be coming soon. Ever since he was separated from his parents, Malina has taken care of him and now it’s Silas’ turn to protect her. He has to escape and take her with him.

But when the owner comes to visit, things go from bad to worse. Jamar, the owner’s son singles Silas out and the extra attention brings Silas under the owner’s microscope. The other kids in the Cartiam are unhappy with the way they are treated and rising emotions threaten to ruin all of Silas’ plans. Yet worst of all, Malina herself isn’t sure she wants to hang on. It is up to Silas to figure out the escape and fast. If he fails he could lose everything he loves.

I've also posted my review on BN and SW but since I've never purchased anything on Amazon it wont let me leave a review. If anybody knows how I can work around this I'd love to know.

Can't wait for book two now Christina!

Whoa, that was fast! Thanks for the awesome review Simone! You did a great job summarizing the plot and capturing the characters. My plan is to have Remembered, Book 2, out at the end of this summer. If you want I can put you on a contact list and if you're willing to review again I can get you a copy. :)


Caitlyn Jones (artistmadrid) | 3 comments Done!

My pleasure : ) Can't wait to find out what's lies ahead for Silas and Jamar!

Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing it! :) Remembered will probably be an R4R because I'm not able to make different e-book formats on my own yet to send out as arcs. As for when...I'm actually not sure. I have the end of August in mind, but I'll have to see how much I can get done. I don't want to rush the story or editing. :)

true. just never rush editing. i know someone who edits books for authors and when they get fussy and make her rush she misses out stuff because of having to stay up all night. that's when authors look bad because of mistakes.

Yep. It's one of the negatives about having a deadline. Sometimes it's better to push the deadline back and have a shining product afterward than to rush to get stuff out there and look sloppy.

Not that I always successfully do this. Sometimes I'm so exciting to be done with a book that I'll press publish before I have a chance to think about it. :) This is just as good a reminder for me as it is for any author.


Brenda (brendareads) | 151 comments http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I would like to add myself to that list for the second book as well. I absolutely loved it, even if it made me hate people a little bit

Thanks for the review! It is always exciting to see someone loved it. You're on the list too. :)

Christina | 26 comments Marni and I have talked and we have an official date for Remembered's R4R. Sept. 26! You can't sign up just yet, but keep your eye out for it. Thanks again. :)


Brenda (brendareads) | 151 comments Awesome!! It's right around my boyfriend's birthday so that will help me remember something important (aside from his birthday of course) is happening. :)
