Guarding Eden ~ Review

Guarding Eden (A Midway Novel)

by Cameo Renae

Publication Date: July 26, 2017

***The Midway Novels are spin-offs of the Hidden Wings Series, but each book can be read as a standalone.***

Tucked away at an upscale, private boarding school in Brindle Hollow, Washington, seventeen-year-old Eden East comes face to face with a hideous creature on her walk back to her dorm. Shaken to her core, she's left questioning the world around her, and soon finds herself entering a friendship with a hot, new student named Alexander.

Little does she know, Alex is a Guardian Angel, sent from Midway to protect her from those dangerous creatures—known as Darkling—lurking in the forest outside Brindle Hall. It isn’t long before Alex learns this is no ordinary assignment. Eden’s existence holds a secret; something hidden from even herself.

Eden is thrust into a world where Fallen angels and creatures of the Underworld will stop at nothing to catch her. With Alex at her side and a little help from some of his old friends, they form a formidable front against the enemy.

Hopefully, it’s not too little, too late.

She had me at ... Angels, Fallen, Darklings!!!, August 11, 2017 

This review is from: Guarding Eden: A Midway Novel Book One (Hidden Wings) (Kindle Edition)

This is the perfect follow up/spin off of the Hidden Wings Series! Guarding Eden can easily be a standalone, but if you have read any of the Hidden Wings Series you will be happily reunited with some of our most beloved friends!!

I am repeatedly amazed at how much I adore the characters Cameo Renae brings to life. Each book brings us more action, suspense, & romance too, but my favorite part is always getting to know the newbies she presents to us. They are always unique & real as they unveil their personalities, issues, & feelings along the way. Most importantly I continually want more. That paired with the intense battles we are thrown into time after time ensure I am a forever fan!

ARV-3 ~ Review

ARV-3  ~ The Afterlight Saga ~ Book #1

by Cameo Renae

Publication Date: December 31, 2013

The beginning of the end. The Apocalypse.

A nuclear fallout wiped out every living thing on the planet, except for a few thousand of us who took shelter in underground bunkers across the globe. Now, after thirteen long years, we were finally able to return to the topside to begin to rebuild.

We thought we were alone. We were never more wrong.

Before the fallout, scientists had worked on creating an anti-radiation vaccine (ARV). The first two attempts failed, but despite the incomplete tests and results, the government approved and distributed the third serum to the masses in an effort to aid those who had no shelter.

It worked, keeping those who remained on the topside alive, but it also altered and mutated them. This new and infectious threat had completely outnumbered us. Now, we not only had to rebuild our planet. We would have to fight for it.

My name is Abigail Park. I’m seventeen, and this is my story.

 Much more than I expected!, January 22, 2017 

ARV-3 was a totally new jolt in my dystopian journey. What a creation! I will admit this is not my favorite genre, but I have lucked out finding a few gems along the way. I was immediately drawn into the this world Renae brought about & the characters ensured I did not leave. I have now read this twice since it was released, & I'm excited to begin the sequels asap. If not for getting behind on my massive TBR I would have finished this series already, but there simply aren't enough hours in the day it seems. :) So...in preparation to continuing on in this series I re-read book 1 so I could really appreciate the details. 

*Be aware ARV-3 is completely different from her previous works in many ways (mainly subject matter) but her writing style, excitement, & emotion shines just as bright as ever. Regardless of whether you are a Cameo Renae junky {raises hands & waves fanatically} or a newbie to her awesome I believe you will enjoy the tales she weaves.*

These arvies are a unique take on a zombie like race & the atrocities uncovered along the way are a swirling twister of thrilling, terrifying, heart stopping adventure. After more than a decade of hiding & learning to survive in underground bunkers the humans are forced to leave their safe places to make their way to the closest of the larger hives. Unfortunately what they encountered was not what they were expecting, but you do what you have to do, right? Now they have no choice but go up against these creatures they know little about.

So...what do you do when everything you thought you knew proves not & who do you trust (or not) to survive?

There's so much more than I could ever share without spoilers, so I won't even go there. If you enjoy a spine tingling ride through what could be with an extra dose of "OMG!!!" & "What were they thinking!?!" then this book may be for you. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

“Emma, wake up.” I blinked several times, trying to focus in the darkness, only to find Kade’s distraught eyes hovering close by. “Another nightmare?” he asked. 

I nodded, wiping the beads of sweat from my brow and then cuddled close to him, resting my head on his chest. The beating of his heart had a way of calming my anxiety, soothing my every fear. 

“Maybe you should talk to Alaine,” he whispered, pressing his lips to the top of my head.

“I’ll talk to her in the morning,” I exhaled. 

“You’re shaking.” His hands rubbed down my arms. “Was it about me?”

I could sense a hint of concern in his voice. 

“No,” I breathed. “It was about Alaine this time.” 

I tried to erase the visions of her scorched and blistered body from my mind, but it was still there. In full color. Terrorizing me. The smell of smoke was still lingering in my nose, and the heat of the flames still felt warm on my skin. 

I didn’t want to worry anyone with my troubles, but it was the third time this week I’d woken Kade with these horrifying nightmares. Every night it was a different loved one, and they were getting stronger as they progressed. 

What was most unnerving was the shadowy figure with onyx wings present in every one. I could never make out the face but could sense its twisted pleasure as it watched me suffer.

I’d had enough of watching my loved ones endure horrible and painful deaths. Although they were nightmares, the pain was real and lingered for days after. It was something I couldn’t just erase. These dreams ate at my soul, keeping me tight in its cold, indifferent arms, holding on through my waking hours.

I prayed they weren’t premonitions, and I prayed Kade wouldn’t be in any future nightmares. I’d watched him suffer in real life, and it’d shattered my entire being. Now that we were bonded, watching it happen again would kill me. 

I glanced over at the clock. It was four in the morning, but I didn’t want to go back to sleep. 

“Where are you going?” Kade asked as I slipped from the warmth of his arms.

“To make some coffee and read the book Lia sent me.”

“You sure you don’t want to stay here with me?”

“You know I do, I just don’t want to go back to sleep.”

His hazel eyes swirled with desire. “I didn’t say we had to sleep.”

“Are you seducing me, Mr. Anders?”

A grin played on his lips as he pulled the covers down. “Maybe.”

“Well then,” I exhaled, jumping in next to him. “Coffee can wait.”
