I also want to mention a couple of people who inspired the YA Revolution: Having read the above two reviews, the light went on and I came up with the YA Revolution concept.

April 14, at Eventually, I hope we can do a real directory and various interesting events! Make sure you tweet and FB periodically. April 14, at 6: This is an amazing idea! I believe in a sense our minds are like computers, what we input determines the output. So projects like this are really necessary and helpful I think. My own novel is being published next month, I would like to include it — it has strong YA elements, as the protagonist is a 17 year old girl, and a lot of it is about her journey to discover the immense power that lies within her.
April 14, at 8: With introduction like this, you are more than welcome to join YARevolution! My book, The Earth Shifter is also YA crossover, suitable for a very wide audience, early teen through adult. This is the point of our revolution: We want it to be all-inclusive and all-encompassing. Besides, in our day and age, adults love to read YA and teens love to read adult literature. The point of YARevolution is to give to ALL READERS, teens AND adults, an opportunity to find and enjoy books with meaning and message; such books after reading which they could live with better awareness, knowledge and inspiration, something that will make them think, question, or just open their hearts and minds.

Please let me know how it goes! April 15, at 2: Hey Lada, thanks so much. Will check out that link, thanks for passing it on! April 15, at 3: April 16, at 3: Rohan 7 Things said: April 15, at 7: I love everything about this! My non fictions are very much targeted at teens and adults alike with very strong positive, life affirming messages. Gyaros however is aimed at a slightly older market due to the themes and content. Even so it is a story about a man who must keep his humanity intact amid horrible circumstances, and not resort to indecency.
I too hate anything that indulges in senseless violence and cruelty for the sake of it! It is not a good idea for those same characters not to be together in future books. That cheapens the ending of the original book because that means their love did not last. It is a warm, fuzzy feeling to read sequels where the I know the history of the secondary characters, how they got together, and their quest to find love. I think it is a one-hit wonder for this series. As long as you remember that it is mostly sci-fi action than romance, you will enjoy the story.
On the surface, after the unification on planet Carthage, there was a seemingly utopian society by banning all social deviants to Gyaros- a lunar prison.

But the strict totalitarian government has rigid, structural social hierarchy that is designed to keep everyone in their place. This is setting for Cry Wolf. And then there should be a countdown like 3 — 2- 1 Action! The book is an adrenaline rush following Wolf, Ryker and the rest of the crew on their mission. I think that the purpose of this book is to set the stage for the full length novel Gyaros Book One: In Cry Wolf, you as the reader are able to get a better sense of the divisions within society.
Everyone is relegated to their place or social position. The quality of life of a person is determined by social status. For example, in one district, it always rains and the weather is depressing. Closer to the upper levels, there is sunshine. Above all else, no one can freely move between the districts. For Gyaros Book Zero: Cry Wolf , because of all the detailed scene descriptions, Carthage becomes real.
It was like a burst of caffeine without drinking any coffee. I really enjoyed it. My interest was stirred to read Gyaros Book One: The Mice Eat Iron.

As the saying goes: Plus, monogamy is a tenuous concept with a lot of grey area.
It may seem that since I read a lot of the Jaid Black books that I must have enjoyed her series. I am confused myself why I read all of them. I read mostly a mixture out of curiosity as to what the author could imagine next and slight interest into the worlds that she created. It seems that Geris was written with the stereotypical ghetto girl in mind. While I guess I supposed to be glad women of color were getting kidnapped too at least she was being made a queen and not a slave… but I digress I still did not like how she was portrayed.
Kara was also annoying, but she was immature as well, which that had a lot to do with her decision-making. Dot was okay and the most realistic as possibly could be when being kidnapped by aliens. I think the Jaid Black books are overpriced considering they are novella length. The quality of life of a person is determined by social status.
