Stacking the Shelves (#57) & Recap: The Random Edition.

STSmallStacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.

So, how was everybody's week? Mines basically sucked. Beginning of next weeks going to suck too, as soon as Monday & Tuesday's gone, hopefully it'll turn around.

In other news, I'm addicted to Chicago Fire, and I'm shipping already. I 'm a shipper whore, but we're all shipper whores here, right?

But, books! The Random Edition because well, the books are all random. Some part of a series. Series I haven't started.

I've also been meaning to do this stack for the past 3 weeks, I got there eventually?..

Review: The Three



The Three
Author:

Publication Date: May 22nd 2014

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Thursday. The day that will never be forgotten. The day that four passenger planes crash, at almost exactly the same moment, at four different points around the globe.

There are only four survivors. Three are children, who emerge from the wreckage seemingly unhurt. But they are not unchanged.

And the fourth is Pamela May Donald, who lives just long enough to record a voice message on her phone.

A message that will change the world.

The message is a warning.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------




I didn't know what to expect from The Three, contemporary mixed in with horror? Paranormal? It's what was great about going into it, the synopsis is pretty vague and no way is it an open book. That being said, It's inevitable that when it comes to Armageddon, The Four Horsemen and the end of the world, we are, at some point, going to point straight to Religion. However, I just didn't expect The Three to rest heavily on it. And it did. For most of it.
